The correct question is
<span>Michael sold 2/3 of his CDs and purchased 16 more. If Michael has 25 CDs now, how many CDs did he have to begin with?
Let
x--------------> numbers of CDs Michael have to begin
if Michael sold (2/3)x-----------> </span><span>are pending to sell (1/3)x
we know that
(1/3)x+16=25--------> </span>(1/3)x=25-16-------> (1/3)x=9---------> x=27
the answer is 27 CDs
(-2 x -3) - (3x^2 - 8x + 9)
-6 - 9x - 17x
-6 - -8x
-14x
hope this helps,

The circumcenter of a triangle is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides intersect. It is also the center of the circumcircle, the circle that passes through all three vertices of the triangle. This page shows how to construct (draw) the circumcenter of a triangle with compass and straightedge or ruler. This construction assumes you are already familiar with Constructing the Perpendicular Bisector of a Line Segment.
Answer:
If we want to expand the brackets, the fraction would be:
Explanation:First, we can note that:
w² + w - 20 can be factorized as follows:
w² + w - 20 = (w+5)(w-4)
The given expression already has a (w+5) in the denominator, therefore, all we need to do is multiply the denominator by (w-4)
Since we want the new fraction to be equivalent to the original one, therefore, as we multiply the denominator by (w-4), we will also multiply the numerator by (w-4) to ensure that the value of the fraction is unchanged.
Based on the above, the new fraction would be:

If we want to expand the brackets, the fraction would be:

Answer:
The first quartile of the strengths of this alloy is 9.055 GPa.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
The strength of an aluminum alloy is normally distributed with mean 10 gigapascals (GPa) and standard deviation 1.4 GPa.
This means that 
What is the first [lower] quartile of the strengths of this alloy?
This is the 100/4 = 25th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.25, so X when Z = -0.675.




The first quartile of the strengths of this alloy is 9.055 GPa.
