Which value of a from the set {16, 18, 20, 22} makes the equation 2(42 - a) = 48 true?

1 answer:

7 0

a is equivalent to 18.

2(42 - a) = 48
2(42) + 2(-a) = 48 *distributive property of multiplication
84 - 2a = 48
-2a = 48 - 84
-2a = -36
-2a/-2 = -36/-2
a = 18

to check:
2(42-a) = 48
2(42-18) = 48
2(24) = 48
48 = 48

Answer:

r = - $\frac{6a}{1-5m^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the equation as $\sqrt{x} 6a+r/5r$ = m

Remove the radical on the left side of the equation by squaring both sides of the equation.

( $\sqrt{\frac{6a+r}{5r} )^{2}$ = m^2

Then, you simplify each of the equation.

Rewrite: ( $\sqrt{\frac{6a+r}{5r} )^{2}$ as $\frac{6a+r}{5r} = m^{2}$

Remove any parentheses if needed.

Solve for r.

Multiply each term by r and simplify."

Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.

6a+r= m^2r⋅(5)

Remove parentheses.

Move 5 to the left of (m ^2) r

6a+r=5m^2)r

Subtract 5m^2)r from both sides of the equation.

6a+r-5m^2)r=0

Subtract 6a from both sides of the equation.

r-5m^2)r=-6a

Factor r out of r-5m^2)r

r(1-5m^2)=-6a

Divide each term by 1-5m^2 and simplify.

r = - $\frac{6a}{1-5m^2}$

There you go, hope this helps!

Answer:

88.88% probability that it endures for less than a year and a half

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

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.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 66, \sigma = 10$

The next career begins on Monday; what is the likelihood that it endures for less than a year and a half?

One year has 52.14 weeks. So a year and a half has 1.5*52.14 = 78.21 weeks.

So this probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 78.21.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{78.21 - 66}{10}$

$Z = 1.22$

$Z = 1.22$ has a pvalue of 0.8888

88.88% probability that it endures for less than a year and a half

What makes a right trapezoid unique from all the other trapezoids

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

A right trapezoid is a trapezoid in which one of the sides is perpendicular to the two bases: In this special case, if you know the length of the perpendicular side, that's the same as the altitude of the trapezoid.

A cookie company packages its cookies in rectangular prism boxes designed with square bases that have both a length and width of

maw [93]

Answer:

h³- 8h² + 16h

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem tells us that the length and width of these boxes are both 4 inches less than the height of the box.

So if we name h the height of the box, the width of the box would be h - 4 and the height of the box would be h - 4.

Now, the volume of a rectangular prism is given by V = height x width x length

So, considering the values we have in this problem we get:

V= height x width x volume

V = h (h-4)(h-4)

V= h(h-4)²

V= h (h²-8h + 16)

V = h³- 8h² + 16h

Therefore, the polynomial representing the volume of this box in terms of the height is h³- 8h² + 16h
