Responder:

El tiempo que toma A para completar el trabajo solo es de 20 días.

Explicación paso a paso:

datos proporcionados:

Tiempo que tarda (A + B) en terminar el trabajo = 12 days.

Deje que A A le tome tiempo completar el trabajo solo = x

entonces el tiempo que B tomó para completar el trabajo solo = x+10

1 día de trabajo de A + B = \frac{1}{12}

1 día de trabajo de A = \frac{1}{x}

1 día de trabajo de B = \frac{1}{x+10}

1 día de trabajo de A = {(

1 día de trabajo de A + B} - {1 día de trabajo de B}

\frac{1}{x} =((\frac{1}{12})-(\frac{1}{x+10}))

Resolviendo la ecuación que obtenemos.

\frac{1}{x} =((\frac{x+10}{12(x+10)})-(\frac{1\times12}{12(x+10)}))

\frac{1}{x} =(\frac{x+10-12}{12x+120})

\frac{1}{x} =(\frac{x-2}{12x+120})

12x+120=x(x-2)

12x+120=x^2-2x

x^2-2x-12x-120=0

x^2-14x-120=0

x^2+6x-20x-120=0

x(x-6)-20(x-6)=0

(x-20)(x+6)=0

Ahora resolviendo 2 valores de x obtenemos

x-20=0\\x=20

x+6 =0\\x =-6

El número de días no puede ser negativo, por lo tanto, x = -6 no es válido

por lo tanto, el número de días que A puede completar el trabajo solo es de 20 días

The length of time taken on the SAT for a group of students is normally distributed with a mean of 2.5 hours and a standard devi
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the length of time taken on the SAT for a group of students is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

Where

x = length of time

u = mean time

s = standard deviation

From the information given,

u = 2.5 hours

s = 0.25 hours

We want to find the probability that the sample mean is between two hours and three hours.. It is expressed as

P(2 lesser than or equal to x lesser than or equal to 3)

For x = 2,

z = (2 - 2.5)/0.25 = - 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.02275

For x = 3,

z = (3 - 2.5)/0.25 = 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.97725

P(2 lesser than or equal to x lesser than or equal to 3)

= 0.97725 - 0.02275 = 0.9545

Nineteen less than 6 times a number is the same as 16 more than the number. The equation is The solution is x -7 7.​
Crank

Answer:

The number is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

let the said number be x

Nineteeen less than 6 times a number;

6x - 19

equals; 16 more than the number; this is 16 + x

Thus;

6x - 19 = 16 + x

6x-x = 16 + 19

5x = 35

x = 35/5

x = 7
