One fifth of the sum of a number and -3 is twice the number

Mathematics
1 answer:
aleksley [76]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = \frac{-1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

\frac{1}{5} (x - 3) = 2x\\

x - 3 = 10x

9x = -3

x = \frac{-1}{3}\\

12y=17-9x and -4y-3x=31 solve by elimination
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

0 ≠ 110

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by Addition/Elimination

12y = 17 − 9x and −4y − 3x = 31

Reorder 17 and −9x. 12y = −9x + 17

−4y − 3x = 31

Add 9x to both sides of the equation.

12y + 9x = 17

−4y − 3x = 31

Reorder the polynomial.

9x + 12y = 17

−4y − 3x = 31

Reorder the polynomial.

9x + 12y = 17

−3x − 4y = 31 9x + 12y = 17

 Multiply each equation by the value that makes the coefficients of x opposite.

9x + 12y = 17

(3) ⋅ (−3x − 4y) = (3) (31)

Simplify (3) ⋅ (−3x − 4y).

Apply the distributive property.

9x + 12y = 17

3 (−3x) + 3 (−4y) = (3) (31)

Multiply −3 by 3. 9x + 12y = 17

−9x + 3 (−4y) = (3) (31)

 Multiply −4 by 3. 9x + 12y = 17

−9x − 12y = (3) (31)

 Multiply 3 by 31. 9x + 12y = 17

−9x − 12y = 93

Add the two equations together to eliminate x from the system.

9x+12y=17

+−9x−12y=93

0=110

Since 0 ≠ 110, there are no solutions. No solution

horsena [70]

Answer:

33 Points

Step-by-step explanation:

We can figure out that the total number of points scored by the team is 38+45+49=132. Since we know that Caitlin scored 1/4 of these total points, and 1/4 of 132=33, then she scored 33 points during the first three games.

$3,250 is withdrawn at the end of every month from an account paying 4.1% compounded monthly. Determine the previous value of th
kirill [66]
The amount needed such that when it comes time for retirement is $2,296,305. This problem solved using the future value of an annuity formula by calculating the sum of a series payment through a specific amount of time. The formula of the future value of an annuity is FV = C*(((1+i)^n - 1)/i), where FV is the future value, C is the payment for each period, n is the period of time, and i is the interest rate. The interest rate used in the calculation is 4.1%/12 and the period of time used in the calculation is 30*12 because the basis of the return is a monthly payment.

FV = $3,250*(((1+(4.1%/12)^(30*12)-1)/(4.1%/12))

A five​-digit number starts with a number between 4​-9 in the first​ position, with no restrictions on the remaining 4 digits. a
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

(a) Pr = 0.3024

(b) Pr = 0.6976

(c) Pr = \frac{^9P_{n-1}}{10^{n-1}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Start = \{5,6,7,8\} i.e. between 4 and 9

n(Start) =4

Digits = 5

Solving (a): Probability that each of the 5 digit are different

Since there is no restriction;

The total possible selection is as follows:

First\ digit = 4 (i.e. any of the 4 start digits)

Second\ digit = 10\\ (i.e. any of the 10 digits 0 - 9)

Third\ digit = 10 (i.e. any of the 10 digits 0 - 9)

Fourth\ digit = 10 (i.e. any of the 10 digits 0 - 9)

Fifth\ digit = 10 (i.e. any of the 10 digits 0 - 9)

So, the total is:

Total = 4 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10

Total = 40000

For selection that all digits are different, the selection is:

First\ digit = 4 (i.e. any of the 4 start digits)

Second\ digit = 9 (i.e. any of the remaining 9)

Third\ digit = 8 (i.e. any of the remaining 8)

Fourth\ digit = 7 (i.e. any of the remaining 7)

Fifth\ digit = 6 (i.e. any of the remaining 6)

So:

Selection =4 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6

Selection =12096

So, the probability is:

Pr = \frac{Selection}{Total}

Pr = \frac{12096}{40000}

Pr = 0.3024

Solving (b): At least 1 repeated digit

The probability calculated in (a) is the all digits are different i.e. P(None)

So, using laws of complement

We have:

P(At\ least\ 1) = 1 - P(None)

So, we have:

Pr= 1 - 0.3024

Pr = 0.6976

Solving (c): An expression to model the probability.

<em>Using (a) as a point of reference, we have;</em>

Pr = \frac{Selection}{Total}

Where

Selection =4 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 ---- for selection of 5 i.e. n = 5

Total = 4 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10

Selection =4 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6

This can be rewritten as:

Selection = 4 * ^9P_4

4 can be expressed as: 5 - 1

So, we have:

Selection = (5-1) *^9P_{5-1}

Substitute n for 5

Selection = (n-1) *^9P_{n-1}

Selection = (n-1)^9P_{n-1}

Total = 4 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10

This can be rewritten as:

Total = 4 * 10^4

Total = (5-1) * 10^{5-1}

Total = (n-1) * 10^{n-1}

Total = (n-1) 10^{n-1}

So, the expression is:

Pr = \frac{(n-1)^9P_{n-1}}{(n-1)10^{n-1}}

Pr = \frac{^9P_{n-1}}{10^{n-1}}

<em>Where n represents the digit number</em>
