Answer:

\frac{1}{15}(60-s)\geq 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, s represents the number of days Darcie can skip crocheting and still meet her goal.

Since, total days = 60,

Number of days for crocheting = 60 - s

∵ Darcie crochets at a rate of 1/15 of a blanket per day.

So, the total crochets made = crocheting rate per day × number of days for crocheting

\frac{1}{15}\times (60-s)

According to the question,

Total crochets ≥ 3

\frac{1}{15}\times (60-s)\geq 3

Which is the required inequality.

If P(A) = 0.25, P(B) = 0.60 and P(A and B) = 0.15, are the event A and B independent? Explain/show work.
babymother [125]

Answer:

event A and B are independent because  P(A and B)  = P(A) x P(B) = 0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

When two events are independent, the probability of both occurring is the product of their separate probabilities, as expressed below;

P(A and B)  = P(A) x P(B)

Given;

P(A) =  0.25

P(B) = 0.60

P(A and B) = 0.15

Now, let's check if  P(A and B) will be equal to P(A) x P(B)

P(A) x P(B) =  0.25 x 0.60 = 0.15

P(A and B)  = P(A) x P(B), thus event A and B are independent.

6 times the sum of 3 consecutive odd intergers is -18
Lyrx [107]
The answer: The 3 (three) consecutive odd integers are: -3, -1, 1.
_____________________________________________
Explanation:
_______________
To represent 3 (three consecutive odd integers):
____________________________________
Let "x" be the first odd integer.
____________________________________
Let "(x+2)" be next consecutive odd integer.
____________________________________
Let "(x+4") be the third odd integer.
____________________________________
The sum of these three consecutive odd integers:
__________________________________________
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 3x + 6 ;
_________________________________________
Six ("6") times the sum of these 3 (three) consecutive odd integers =
_________________
6*(3x+6) = 6(3x + 6) = -18 (as given in the problem).
_____________________________________________
Given: 6(3x + 6) = -18 ; We can divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "6", to cancel the "6" on the left-hand side into a "1"; 
__________________________________________
{6(3x + 6) } / 6 = -18 / 6 ;  to get:
________________________________________
3x + 6 = -3 ; Now, we can subtract "6" from EACH SIDE of the equation:
__________________________________
3x + 6 - 6 = -3 - 6 ; to get:
__________________________________
3x = -9 ; Now, we can divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "3"; to isolate "x" on one side of the question; and solve for "x" ;
___________________________________
3x / 3 = -9 / 3 ;  x = - 3 ;
_____________________
Remember, from above:
__________________________
Let "x" be the first odd integer.  We know that "x = -3".
         Is this an odd integer? Yes!
____________________________________
Let "(x+2)" be next consecutive odd integer.  So (x+2) = (-3+2) = -1.
        Is this an odd integer? Yes!  Is this "{-1}" the next consecutive odd integer with respect to "{-3}"? Yes!
____________________________________
Let "(x+4") be the third odd integer. So (x+4) = (-3+4) = 1.
       Is this an odd integer? Yes!  Is this "{1"} the next consecutive odd integer with respect to "{-1}"? Yes!
___________________________
So, our 3 (three) consecutive odd integers are: -3, -1, 1.
___________________________
To check our work: Is 6 times the sum of our 3 consecutive odd integers, equal to "(-18)" ?

The sum of our 3 consecutive odd integers = -3 + (-1) + 1 = -3 - 1 + 1 = -3.

6 * -3 = ? -18? Yes!

Niu has decorated x cards. He started with 24 stickers, and he used 4 stickers per card. Which expressions can we use to describ
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

24-4x

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Niu has decorated x cards. He started with 24 stickers and he used 4 stickers per card. So stickers used in x cards will be 4x.

As initial number of stickers was 24, so we can find number of stickers left after decorating x cards by subtracting number of stickers used in x cards from 24.

\text{Number of stickers that Niu has left}=24-4x

Therefore, the expression 24-4x will represent the number of stickers that Niu has left after decorating x cards.
