Answer:

x= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is 8+4= 2(x-1)

Distribute into the parenthesis.

8+4= 2x-2

Now, add.

12= 2x-2

Add 2 to both sides.

12= 2x-2

+2       +2

Then, divide by 2 to both sides to isolate the variable.

<u>14</u>= <u>2x</u>

2    2

x=7

Solve y-12/25=3 1/5. What number is y?<br><br> A. 3 1/5<br> B. 3 17/25<br> C. 3 7/25<br> D. 4 17/25
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Option c) y=3\frac{17}{25} is correct

The value of y is 3\frac{17}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is  

y-\frac{12}{25}=3\frac{1}{5}

To solve the given equation for y

y-\frac{12}{25}=3\frac{1}{5}

y-\frac{12}{25}=\frac{16}{5}  (converting mixed fraction to normal fraction )

y-\frac{16}{5}=\frac{12}{25}

y-\frac{(16\times 5)+12}{25}  (taking LCM 25 )

=\frac{80+12}{25}  (adding the terms )

y=\frac{92}{25}  (now convert fraction into mixed fraction )

Therefore y=3\frac{17}{25}

Option c) y=3\frac{17}{25} is correct

The value of y is 3\frac{17}{25}

For this item, a non-integer answer should be entered as a fraction using / as the fraction bar.
Kipish [7]

The numerical expression, 2/3 ÷ 2⁴ + (3/4 + 1/6) ÷ 1/3 = <u>67/24</u> on simplification using the BODMAS rule.

In the question, we are asked to simplify the numerical expression:

2/3 ÷ 2⁴ + (3/4 + 1/6) ÷ 1/3.

To simplify the expression, we will follow the BODMAS rule, where B means Brackets, O means Of, D means Divide, M means Multiplication, A means Addition, and S means Subtraction.

2/3 ÷ 2⁴ + (3/4 + 1/6) ÷ 1/3

= 2/3 ÷ 16 + (3/4 + 1/6) ÷ 1/3 {Solving 2⁴ = 16, before proceeding BODMAS}.

= 2/3 ÷ 16 + ((9+2)/12) ÷ 1/3 {Solving Brackets by taking LCM}

= 2/3 ÷ 16 + 11/12 ÷ 1/3 {Simplifying}

= 2/3 * 1/16 + 11/12 * 3/1 {Solving divisions by taking reciprocals}

= 1/24 + 11/4 {Multiplying}

= (1 + 66)/24 {Adding using LCM}

= 67/24 {Simplifying}.

Thus, the numerical expression, 2/3 ÷ 2⁴ + (3/4 + 1/6) ÷ 1/3 = <u>67/24</u> on simplification using the BODMAS rule.

The probability that a comic book reader in a particular city prefers comics published by Company A is 25%. The probability that
Andrew [12]
We know that 70% of all comic book fans are male, and that 40% of Company A fans are male. 

Since 25% of all comic book fans are company A fans: 
0.4 * 0.25 (meaning 40% of 25%) = 0.1, or 10% of all comic book fans are male company A fans. 

What percentage, then, of male comic book fans are company A fans?
0.1 ÷ 0.7 = 0.142
We divide 10%, the percentage of all comic book fans that are male and company A fans, by the percentage of comic book fans that are male, since we are given that the fan is male. 

Answer is 0.14
