Solve your equation step-by-step.

(2x−1)(x+7)=0

Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x2+13x−7=0

Factor left side of equation.

(2x−1)(x+7)=0

Set factors equal to 0.

2x−1=0 or x+7=0

x=1/2 or x=−7

At Taco Bell, I made a large purchase of 13 items that cost a total of $28.17. If Chicken Burritos cost $1.89 each and a Cheesy

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Number of Chicken Burritos purchased=7

Number of Cheesy Gordita Crunch purchased=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of Chicken Burritos and y be the number of Cheesy Gordita Crunch.

Total number items purchased=13

Total cost of 13 items=$28.17

Cost of each Chicken Burritos=$1.89

Cost of each Cheesy Gordita Crunch=$2.49

We have to find number of each items purchased.

According to question

$x+y=13$ .....(1)

$1.89x+2.49y=28.17$ ...(2)

Equation (1) multiply by 2.49 and then subtract equation (2) from (1)

$0.6x=4.2$

$x=\frac{4.2}{0.6}$

x=7

Substitute x=7 in equation (1)

$7+y=13$

$y=13-7=6$

Number of Chicken Burritos purchased=7

Number of Cheesy Gordita Crunch purchased=6

If the probability of a student taking a calculus class is 0.10, the probability of taking a statistics class is 0.90, and the p

Stells [14]

Answer:

93% probability of a student taking a calculus class or a statistics class

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this problem building the Venn's diagram of these probabilities.

I am going to say that:

A is the probability that a student takes a calculus class.

B is the probability that a student takes a statistics class.

We have that:

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

In which a is the probability that a student takes calculus but not statistics and $A \cap B$ is the probability that a student takes both these classes.

By the same logic, we have that:

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

The probability of taking a calculus class and a statistics class is 0.07

This means that $A \cap B = 0.07$

The probability of taking a statistics class is 0.90

This means that $B = 0.9$ . So

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

$0.9 = b + 0.07$

$b = 0.83$

The probability of a student taking a calculus class is 0.10

This means that $A = 0.1$

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

$0.1 = a + 0.07$

$a = 0.03$

What is the probability of a student taking a calculus class or a statistics class

$A \cup B = a + b + A \cap B = 0.03 + 0.83 + 0.07 = 0.93$

93% probability of a student taking a calculus class or a statistics class

Jane evaluates x squared minus 3 x + 5 for x = negative 2 below. Step 1: (negative 2) squared minus 3 (negative 2) + 5 Step 2: E

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the question :

Jane evaluates x squared minus 3 x + 5 for x = negative 2 below. Step 1: (negative 2) squared minus 3 (negative 2) + 5 Step 2: Equals negative 4 + 6 + 5 Step 3: Equals 7 What, if any, was Jane's mistake?

Jane's evaluation :

x² - 3x + 5 for x = - 2

Step 1:

(-2)² - 3(-2) + 5

Step 2:

-4 + 6 + 5

Step 3 :

= 7

Jane's mistake was in STEP2,

evaluating (-2)² = 4 and not - 4

Hence, (-2)² - 3(-2) + 5

= 4 + 6 + 5

= 15
