Answer:

you can do many ways one would be 3(5x times 3) (hope this helps and please give me brainliest)

Step-by-step explanation:

9 and 15 have a common factor of 3

divide 15x by 3 which is 5x

then do 9 divided by 3 which is 3

then put 3 outside parentheses and put 5x to show 15x and 3 to show the 9

About 13 out of 20 homes have a personal computer. On a street with 60 homes, how many would you expect to have a personal compu

Aleks04 [339]

This can be solved using a ratio. The ratio is: 13/20=x/60 this would then become 20x= 780 divide both sides by 20 and you get x=39. the answer is 39

How do I solve this equation

Anestetic [448]

-x - y = 8
2x - y = -1

Ok, we are going to solve this in 2 parts. First we have to solve for one of the variables in one of the equation in terms of the other variable. I like to take the easiest equation first and try to avoid fractions, so let's use the first equation and solve for x.

-x - y = 8 add y to each side
-x = 8 + y divide by -1
x = -8 - y

So now we have a value for x in terms of y that we can use to substitute into the other equation. In the other equation we are going to put -8 - y in place of the x.

2x - y = -1
2(-8 - y) - y = -1 multiply the 2 through the parentheses
-16 - 2y - y = -1 combine like terms
-16 - 3y = -1 add 16 to both sides
-3y = 15 divide each side by -3
y = -5

Now we have a value for y. We need to plug it into either of the original equations then solve for x. I usually choose the most simple equation.

-x - y = 8
-x - (-5) = 8 multiply -1 through the parentheses
-x + 5 = 8 subtract 5 from each side
-x = 3 divide each side by -1
x = -3

So our solution set is

(-3, -5)

That is the point on the grid where the 2 equations are equal, so that is the place where they intersect.

A white-tailed deer can sprint at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. American bison can run at speeds up to 3,520 feet per minute.

Sphinxa [80]

In 1 minute, bison runs 3520 feet
In 60 minutes, the bison would run
3520*60 feet
211200 feet per hour.
These are equivalent to;
40 miles per hour since 1 mile is equivalent to 5280 feet.
The bison is faster by 10 miles per hour

marin [14]

Circle = (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

Center is (h,k) h = -5, k = 2
Radius is 4, r = 4

(x - -5)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 4^2
(x + 5)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 16

A new roller coaster at an amusement park requires individuals to be at least 4' 8" (56 inches) tall to ride. It is estimated

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

a) 34.46% of 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride this coaster.

b) 78.81% of 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride this coaster

c) 44.35% of 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride the coaster in part b but not tall enough to ride the coaster in part a

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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:

$\mu = 54, \sigma = 5$

a. What proportion of 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride the coaster?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 56.

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

$Z = \frac{56 - 54}{5}$

$Z = 0.4$

$Z = 0.4$ has a pvalue of 0.6554

1 - 0.6554 = 0.3446

34.46% of 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride this coaster.

b. A smaller coaster has a height requirement of 50 inches to ride. What proportion of 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride this coaster?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 50.

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

$Z = \frac{50 - 54}{5}$

$Z = -0.8$

$Z = -0.8$ has a pvalue of 0.2119

1 - 0.2119 = 0.7881

78.81% of 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride this coaster.

c. What proportion of 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride the coaster in part b but not tall enough to ride the coaster in part a?

Between 50 and 56 inches, which is the pvalue of Z when X = 56 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 50.

From a), when X = 56, Z has a pvalue of 0.6554

From b), when X = 50, Z has a pvalue of 0.2119

0.6554 - 0.2119 = 0.4435

44.35% of 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride the coaster in part b but not tall enough to ride the coaster in part a
