1 answer:

7 0

-x(3x-10)=8
-3x^2+10x=8 (DISTRIBUTE)
-3x^2+10x-8=0 (BALANCE TO ZERO)
(-3x+4)(x-2)=0 (FACTOR)
(-x+4/3)(x-2)=0 (SIMPLIFY)
{x=2 OR x= 4/3}

Angie read 60 pages of a textbook in 2 hours. she turned on the tv and read 24 pages in 1 hour. angie’s average reading rate wit

jek_recluse [69]

Hello! So Angie reads 60 pages in 2 hours, without the TV on. 60/2 is 30. She reads 30 pages an hour without the TV on, and 24 pages with the TV off. To find the percent of her reading rate with the TV on instead of off, we can just divide both of the reading rates. 24/30 is 0.8. Multiply that by 100 and you get 80% in percent form. There. Angie's reading rate with the TV on is 80% of her reading rate with the TV off. The answer is B: 80%.

A rectangle has an area of 69.6m^2.

omeli [17]

Answer: The perimeter of the rectangle is 53.8. One side is 24, and the other is 2.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to divide 69.6 meters by 2.9. This gives you 24 as the other side of the rectangle(remember that the area of a rectangle is $lw$ ). Next you multiply 2.9 x 2. This gives you 5.8, then you multiply 24 by 2. This gives you 48. You add the two values together,and you get the perimeter of the rectangle as 53.8.

There were 6 purple socks and 4 oraange socks without looking and then another without looking (or replacing the first). What is

shusha [124]

Answer:

The probability that he picked 2 purpled socks is <u>0.33</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of purple socks, $n(P) = 6$

Number of orange socks, $n(O) = 4$

Two socks are picked without replacement.

Now, total number of socks, $n(T)=N(P)+n(O)=6+4=10$

Probability of picking the first cap as purple cap is given as:

$P(P1)=\frac{n(P)}{n(T)}\\\\P(P1)=\frac{6}{10}=\frac{3}{5}$

Since there is no replacement, the number of socks decreases by 1. Also, if the first sock picked is purple, then number of purple socks is also decreased by 1.

Therefore, probability of picking the second cap as purple cap is given as:

$P(P2)=\frac{n(P)-1}{n(T)-1}\\\\P(P2)=\frac{5}{9}$
