Answer:

20/3

7x - 8 = 4(x+ 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x.

Now, the difference between 7 times a number and 8 is equal to four times the sum of the number and 3.

Writing this mathematically:

7x -8 = 4(x + 3)

To solve completely, we open the bracket:

7x - 8 = 4x + 12

7x - 4x = 12 + 8

3x = 20

x = 20/3

The correct equation to solving the problem is 7x - 8 = 4(x + 3)

Sue has 20 biscuits in a tin There are 12 plain biscuits 5 chocolate biscuits 3 currant biscuits Sue takes at 2 random biscuits
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

111 / 190

Step-by-step explanation:

Total biscuits = 20

Plain, P = 12

Chocolate, C = 5

Currant, K = 3

Assume without replacement :

Probability that biscuit are of the same type :

P(plain) :

12 / 20 * 11 / 19 = 132 / 380

P(chocolate) :

5/ 20 * 4 / 19 = 20/ 380

P(currant) :

3/20 * 2 /19 = 6 / 380

Therefore,

Probability that biscuit is of the same type :

P(plain) + P(chocolate) + P(currant)

132/380 + 20/380 + 6/380

158 / 380 = 79 / 190

Therefore, probability that biscuit aren't of the same type :

1 - P(biscuit is of same type)

1 - 79/190

(190 - 79) / 190

111 / 190

Emilio throws a marshmallow into the air from his balcony. The height of the marshmallow (in feet) is represented by the equatio
irinina [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the marshmallow (in feet) is represented by the equation h=−16t2+8t+48,

where t is the time (in seconds) after he throws the marshmallow.

The equation is a quadratic equation. When the marshmallow hits the ground, its height from the ground will be zero. Therefore

−16t^2+8t+48 = 0

- 2t^2 + t + 6 = 0

Multiplying through by the negative sign. It becomes

2t^2 - t - 6 = 0

2t^2 + 3t - 4t - 6 = 0

t(2t + 3) - 2(2t + 3) = 0

(t - 2)(2t + 3) = 0

t - 2 = 0 or 2t + 3 = 0

t = 2 or t = - 3/2

The time cannot be negative

So it will take 2 seconds to hit the ground

Find the solution of x and y
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

x = 1.25, y = 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller and larger triangles are similar triangles. (the 2 triangles have the same angles).

We know that the smaller triangle has length 8 for it's bottom side when the larger triangle has length 10. This means the scale factor between the 2 is 10 / 8 which is 1.25. Therefore by multiplying the side lengths of the smaller triangle by 1.25 we get the side lengths of the larger triangle.

5 * 1.25 = 6.25

7 * 1.25 = 8.75

However we don't want the whole side lengths we want x and y, We need to subtract 5 and 7 respectively from the lengths of the larger triangles.

Therefore the lengths must be: 6.25 - 5 = 1.25

and 8.75 - 7 = 1.75

Therefore x and y equal 1.25 and 1.75
