Answer:

—5/4 or —1 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x – 5 = 5x + 2x

Collect like terms

—5 = 5x + 2x — 3x

—5 = 4x

Divide both side by the coefficient of x i.e 4

x = —5/4 or —1 1/4

podryga [215]

6 + 2^1 = 8 is the expression that includes an exponent and has a value of 8

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, Use the number 8, 6, and 2 and one operation to write an expression that includes an exponent and has a value of 8

We have to use each number only once

Given numbers are 8, 6, 2

Our expression should include exponent and the result should be 8

Among 6 and 2 we can use 2 for exponent

Raise 2 to power of 1

<em><u>The expression becomes:</u></em>

6 + 2^1 = 8

Here we have used one operation, that is addition

Verifying the expression

6 + 2^1 = 6 + 2 = 8

Thus the required expression is found

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Tests is 100% Accurate, so by using the formula of random variable probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of people = 10

Sample space = p(A) = 10

Number of people that have flu = n(s) = 4

Pick random 3 persons, the possibility that they have flue is n(A) = ?

Let X is the random variable, consisting of number of positive flu test,

Tests is 100% Accurate, so by using the formula of random variable probability, we get

  P(X) = n (A) / n(S)

  P(X)      = ¾, is the probability of having positive flu test
