Answer:

when you have two fractions that equal each other you want to solve by using cross multiply

What cross multiply is, is when you multiply diagonally so:

8/x=14/7

you would take 14*x and 8*7

14x=56 (you would then divide each side by 14)

x=4 (14/14=1, 56/14=4)

8/4=14/7

To check your work you could simplify

8/4=2

14/7=2

2=2, which is true

x=4

Hope this helps ;)

E = (-12,15,-9)
F = (-12, 17 , -22 )
EF = F - E = (-12, 17 , -22 ) - (-12,15,-9)
= ( 0 , 2 , -13 ) = 2j - 13 k

In a certain country, the true probability of a baby being a girl is 0.469. Among the next seven randomly selected births in th

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The probability is 0.995 ( approx ).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represents the event of baby girl,

The probability of a baby being a girl is, p = 0.469,

So, the probability of a baby who is not a girl is, q = 1 - 0.469 = 0.531,

Also, the total number of experiment, n = 7

Thus, by the binomial distribution formula,

$P(x)=^nC_x(p)^x q^{n-x}$

Where, $^nC_x=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The probability that all babies are girl or there is no baby boy,

$P(X=7)=^7C_7(0.469)^7(0.531)^{7-7}$

$=0.00499125661758$

Hence, the probability that at least one of them is a boy = 1 - P(X=7)

= 1 - 0.00499125661758

= 0.995008743382

≈ 0.995

2. Write the slope-intercept form of the equation for each graph described. Line passing through (-5, 12) and parallel to the li

Nostrana [21]

Answer: y = 2x+22

========================================================

Explanation:

The equation y = 2x+5 is in the form y = mx+b

m = 2 = slope

b = 5 = y intercept

Parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts. So the answer will be in the form y = 2x+c, where b and c are different numbers. Since b = 5, this means c must be some other number. If c = 5, then we'd have the exact same line.

Let's plug in (x,y) = (-5,12), along with the slope m = 2, and solve for c

y = mx+c

12 = 2(-5)+c

12 = -10+c

12+10 = c

22 = c

c = 22

Since m = 2 and c = 22, we go from y = mx+c to y = 2x+22

The equation of the parallel line is y = 2x+22

The graph is below.
