Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+1) +5 = 2x -2

Distribute the 3 to the x+1

3x+3 +5 = 2x -2

Combine like terms

3x + 8 = 2x -2

Subtract 2x from both sides

x + 8 = -2

Subtract 8 from both sides

x = -10

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+1)+ 5=2x- 2

Distribute the 3

3(x+1)+ 5=2x- 2 would equal

3x+3+5=2x-2

Combine like terms

3x+3+5=2x-2

3+5=8 So,

3x+8=2x-2

You want to get the numbers with x on one side

Subtract 8 on both sides to get 3x by itself

3x+8-8=2x-2-8

3x=2x-10

Then you have to get the 2x on the other side because you still want x on the other side so you do -2x on both sides

Which gives you

x=-10

That is your answer

The Reunion Tower is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Dallas, Texas due to the giant sphere that sits atop the structur

ValentinkaMS [17]

The volume of a sphere uses the following formula:

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

Because the question asks to use 3.14 in place of pi, the formula will now look like this:

$V = (\frac{4}{3})(3.14)r^{3} = 4.18\overline{66} r^{3}$

We are given a diameter of 118 feet. The radius is half of the diameter, so divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius:

$118 \div 2 = 59$
$r = 59$

Plug this value into the formula, and solve with a calculator:

$4.18\overline{66} \times 59^3 = 4.18\overline{66} \times 205379 = 859853.413$

Although our result is one cubic foot off, the answer is A. 859,852ft^3.

(859,852 is the result if the constant in the given formula is 4.18666, but the result with infinitely repeating numbers is 859,853.)

Consider two competing firms in a declining industry that cannot support both firms profitably. Each firm has three possible cho

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

a) attached below

b) ( T,T )

c) The Pure-strategy Nash equilibria are : ( N,E ) and ( E,N )

d) The mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 1 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 )

while the mixed -strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 2 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

A) write down the game in matrix form

let: E = exit at the industry immediately

T = exit at the end of the quarter

N = exit at the end of the next quarter

matrix is attached below

B) weakly dominated strategies is ( T,T )

C) Find the pure-strategy Nash equilibria

The Pure-strategy Nash equilibria are : ( N,E ) and ( E,N )

D ) Find the unique mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium

The mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 1 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 )

while the mixed -strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 2 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 ) since T is weakly dominated then the mixed strategy will be NE

Assume that P is the probability of firm 1 exiting immediately ( E )

and q is the probability of firm 1 staying till next term ( N ) ∴ q = 1 - P.

hence the expected utility of firm 2 choosing E = 0 while the expected utility of choosing N = 4p - 2q .

The expected utilities of E and N to firm 2 =

0 = 4p - 2q = 4p - 2 ( 1-p) = 6p -2 which means : p = 1/3 , q = 2/3
