Solve this −14(z−5)=−14z+70

Mathematics

1 answer:

Bas_tet [7]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

All real numbers are solutions.

Explanation:

−14(z − 5) = −14z + 70

[ Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation ]

−14(z − 5) = −14z + 70

(−14)(z) + (−14)(−5) = −14z + 70 (Distribute)

−14z + 70 = −14z + 70

[ Step 2: Add 14z to both sides ]

−14z + 70 + 14z = −14z + 70 + 14z

70 = 70

[ Step 3: Subtract 70 from both sides ]

70 − 70 = 70 − 70

0 = 0

Therefore, all real numbers are solutions.

Naval intelligence reports that 99 enemy vessels in a fleet of 1818 are carrying nuclear weapons. If 99 vessels are randomly tar

oee [108]

Answer:

0.001687 = 0.1687% probability that no more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vessels are destroyed and then not replaced, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

In this question:

Fleet of 18 means that $N = 18$

9 are carrying nuclear weapons, which means that $k = 9$

9 are destroyed, which means that $n = 9$

What is the probability that no more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed?

This is:

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

In which

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

$P(X = 0) = h(0,18,9,9) = \frac{C_{9,0}*C_{9,9}}{C_{18,9}} = 0.000021$

$P(X = 1) = h(1,18,9,9) = \frac{C_{9,1}*C_{9,8}}{C_{18,9}} = 0.001666$

Then

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.000021 + 0.001666 = 0.001687$

0.001687 = 0.1687% probability that no more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed.

The number of necklaces Lilly can make varies directly with the amount of time she spends making the necklaces. She can make 6 n

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of necklace= k × amount of time spent

6= k × 2/5

K = 6÷2/5

K= 6×5/2

K= 15

Therefore the number of necklace made in 5 hours can be calculated as follows

15 = number of necklace ÷ 5

Number of necklace = 15 ×5

Number of necklace = 75

You are knitting a blanket. You want the area of the blanket to be 24 feet squared . You want the length of the blanket to be 2

Sauron [17]

Think of it this way: x multiplied by a number that is two more than x is y.
So, look at the factors. 3 and 8 wouldn't work, because 8 is 5 longer than 3. 1 and 24 wouldn't work, because 24 is 23 more than 1. 12 and 2 is also not going to work; 12 is 10 more than 2. What you have left is 4 and 6. 6 is 2 more than 4, and they both multiply to get 24.

So, the correct answer is 6 feet long and 4 feet wide.
