For this we would first simplify using order of operations.
6(-3-x) - 2x = 14 ------> Distribute
-18 -6x - 2x = 14 ------> Combine Like Terms
-8x - 18 = 14 Now we want to isolate x!
-8x - 18 = 14 ------> Add 18 to both sides.
-8x = 32 ------> Divide both sides by -8.
x = -4
Hope this helps!

Although cities encourage carpooling to reduce traffic congestion, most vehicles carry only one person. For example, 64% of vehi

ira [324]

Answer:

a) 0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

b) 0.996 is the probability that more than half of the vehicles carry just one person.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

A) Binomial distribution

We treat vehicle on road with one passenger as a success.

P(success) = 64% = 0.64

Then the number of vehicles follows a binomial distribution, where

$P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}$

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 10

We have to evaluate:

$P(x \geq 6) = P(x =6) +...+ P(x = 10) \\= \binom{10}{6}(0.64)^6(1-0.64)^4 +...+ \binom{10}{10}(0.64)^{10}(1-0.79)^0\\=0.7291$

0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

B) By normal approximation

Sample size, n = 92

p = 0.64

$\mu = np = 92(0.64) = 58.88$

$\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{92(0.64)(1-0.64)} = 4.60$

We have to evaluate the probability that more than 47 cars carry just one person.

$P(x \geq 47)$

After continuity correction, we will evaluate

$P( x \geq 46.5) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{46.5 - 58.88}{4.60}) = P(z > -2.6913)$

$= 1 - P(z \leq -2.6913)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x > 46.5) = 1 - 0.004 = 0.996 = 99.6\%$

0.996 is the probability that more than half out of 92 vehicles carry just one person.

Which explanation can be used to derive the formula for the circumference of a circle?

Gelneren [198K]

Answer: The answer is the first explanation.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given five different options and we are to select which explanation is correct to derive the formula for a circumference of a circle.

Let 'C' be the circumference and 'd' be the diameter of a circle. Now, we will write the ratio of the circumference to the diameter as

$\dfrac{\textup{C}}{\textup{d}}.$

Also, we know that

$\dfrac{\textup{C}}{\textup{d}}=\pi.$

And diameter of a circle is twice the radius, so

$d=2r.$

Therefore,

$\dfrac{\textup{C}}{2\textup{r}}=\pi\\\\\Rightarrow \textup{C}=2\pi \textup{r}.$

This is the formula for the circumference of a circle. Since this explanation matches exactly with the first option, so the correct option is

(a). Find the relationship between the circumference and the diameter by dividing the length of the circumference and length of the diameter. Use this quotient to set up an equation to showing the ratio of the circumference over the diameter equals to π . Then rearrange the equation to solve for the circumference. Substitute 2 times the radius for the diameter.

Help me with 2, 8, and 10 plz

OverLord2011 [107]

For #2:

3x^2 + 4 – 2x^2 + 6

You need to combine your like terms:
 3x^2 – 2x^2= x^2

4 + 6 = 10

This will now give you:

X^2 +10
