X-4x-32=0, explain the steps of answering it

zzz [600]

First step: combine the x terms, x - 4x = -3x.

Second step: Add 32 to both sides, which will cancel out the -32.

Now you have -3x = 32.

To solve for x, divide 32 by -3. The answer is -10.667.

Adam is building a rectanglar swimming pool. The perimeter of the pool must be no more then 120 feet. If the length of the pool

jasenka [17]

Answer:

$W\leq 38\ ft$

The maximum width must be $38\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

L ----> the length of the rectangular pool

W ---> The width of the rectangular pool

we know that

$P\leq 120\ ft$

$P=2(L+W)$

$2(W+L)\leq 120$ ----> inequality A

we have

$L=22\ ft$

substitute the value of L in the inequality A

$2(W+22)\leq 120$

simplify

$(W+22)\leq 60$

$W\leq 60-22$

$W\leq 38\ ft$

The maximum width must be $38\ ft$

The quality control team of a company checked 800 digital cameras for defects. The team found that 20 cameras had lens defects,

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

0.025

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is a conditional probability problem.

-Let L denote lens defect and C charging defect.

#We first calculate the probability of a camera having a lens defect;

$P(lens)=\frac{Lens}{Total}\\\\=\frac{20}{800}\\\\=0.025$

#Calculate the probability of a camera having a charging defect:

$P(Charging)=\frac{Charging}{Total}\\\\=\frac{25}{800}\\\\=0.03125$

The the probability that a camera has a lens defect given that it has a charging defect is calculated as:

$P(L|C)=\frac{P(C)P(L)}{P(C)}\\\\=\frac{0.025\times 0.03125}{0.03125}\\\\=0.025$

Hence, the probability that a camera has a lens defect given that it has a charging defect is 0.025
