The sum of two numbers is 58. The first number is 8 less than half the second number. Let c represent the first number. Let d re

present the second number. Which statements about solving for the two numbers are true? Check all that apply. The equation c + d = 58 represents the sum of the two numbers. The equation c + d = 58 represents the sentence “The first number is 8 less than half the second number.” The equation c = one-half d minus 8 represents the relationship between the two numbers. The equation c = one-half d minus 8 represents the sum of the two numbers. The number d is 14. The number c is 44. The number c is 14. The number d is 44.

Answer: A ,C,G and H are correct statements. Look into the step by step for more understanding.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for this problem let's find the actually numbers.

so we know that c + d=58 and also c= 1/2d-8

We have two systems of equations

c+d = 58

c= 1/2d - 8

Solve for c by substitution. Substitute the second equation into the first one.

1/2d -8 + d = 58 Add 8 to both sides

1/2 +d = 66

3/2d =66 Divide both sides by 3/2

d=44 Now we know the d which is the second number is 44 so subtract it from 58 to find the first number.

58 - 44 = 14

we will represent the statements by letters from A going.

A. The equation c + d = 58 represents the sum of the two numbers

B. The equation c+d=58 represents the sentence "The first number is 8 less than half the second number."

C.The equation c= 1/2d -8 represents the relationship between the two numbers.

D. The equation c= 1/2d - 8 represents the sum of the two numbers.

E. The number d is 14.

F. The number c is 44.

G. The number c is 14.

H. The number d is 44.

Now looking at the statements, A ,C,G and H are all correct.

The probability that an archer hits a target on a given shot is .7 if five shots are fired find the probability that the archer

VikaD [51]

This is a problem in "binomial probability." Either the archer hits his target or he does not. This experiment is performed 5 times (so that n=5), and the probability that the archer will hit the target is 0.7 (so that p=0.7).

We need to find the binomial probability that x=3 when the possible outcomes are {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.

You could use a table of binomial probabilities to evaluate the following:

P(5, 0.7, 3).

Alternatively, you could use a TI-83 or TI-84 calculator and its built-in "binompdf( " function.

I evaluated binompdf(5,0.7,3) and obtained the result 0.309.

For every 9 black and white copies printed there are 2 color copies printed. If there are 200 color copies printed how many blac

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

<u>900</u> black and white copies are printed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

For every 9 black and white copies printed there are 2 color copies printed.

If there are 200 color copies printed.

Now, to find the number of black and white copies are printed.

Let the number of black and white copies printed be $x.$

As given, for every 9 black and white copies printed there are 2 color copies printed.

So, 9 is equivalent to 2.

If there are 200 color copies printed.

Thus, $x$ is equivalent to 200.

Now, to solve by using cross multiplication method:

$\frac{9}{2} =\frac{x}{200}$

<em>By cross multiplying we get:</em>

$1800=2x$

<em>Dividing both sides by 2 we get:</em>

$900=x$

$x=900.$

Therefore, 900 black and white copies are printed.
