Answer:

0.5x−7.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

0.5x−4−(1.5+2.3)

Distribute the Negative Sign:

=0.5x−4+−1(1.5+2.3)

=0.5x+−4+(−1)(1.5)+(−1)(2.3)

=0.5x+−4+−1.5+−2.3

Combine Like Terms:

=0.5x+−4+−1.5+−2.3

=(0.5x)+(−4+−1.5+−2.3)

=0.5x+−7.8

Answer:

23 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

First, subtract 9 from 29 to find the temperature at 9 A.M. The temperature at 9 A.M. was 20 degrees. The temperature from 5 A.M. doubled to get to the temperature at 9 A.M., so divide 20 by 2. The temperature at 5 A.M. was 10 degrees. The temperature from midnight to 5 A.M. fell 13 degrees, so add 13 to get the temperature at midnight. 13+10=23. It was 23 degrees at midnight.

Consider a uniform distribution created by a random number generator. The distribution looks like a square with a length of 1 an

vekshin1

The rigorous way to do this would be to compute a few integrals, but less work is usually better. Each of these probabilities correspond to the areas of rectangles. Each rectangle will have a height of 1, and the probability of interest will tell you everything you need to know about their lengths.

$\mathbb P(0\le X\le0.4)\implies \text{length}=0.4\implies\mathbb P(0\le X\le0.4)=0.4\times1=0.4$

$\mathbb P(0.4\le X\le1)\implies \text{length}=0.6\implies\mathbb P(0\le X\le0.4)=0.6$

Alternatively, you can use the fact that $\mathbb P(0.4\le X\le 1)=1-\mathbb P(0\le X\le 0.4)$ to get the same result.

$\mathbb P(X>0.6)=\mathbb P(0.60.6)=0.4$

$\mathbb P(X\le0.6)\implies \text{length}=0.6\implies\mathbb P(X\le0.6)=0.6$

$\mathbb P(0.23\le X\le0.76)\implies \text{length}=0.76-0.23=0.53\implies\mathbb P(0.23\le X\le0.76)=0.53$
