Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this equation, plug your x value in and simplify.
-2x + 3
-2(5) + 3
-10 + 3
-7
Proportionality, assuming constant rate. 460 dives/12 hours = x dives/3 hours. Solve for x.
In this question, both tickets cost 2$ per ticket.
The answer to this question would be: $0
In WinOne scenario, you need to match a ticket that has to pick from A-J(10 possibilities) and 0-9 (10 possibilities). The chance to win would be: 1/10* 1/10= 1/100
The expected value must be:
E= chance to win * win amount - ticket price
E= 1//100*$200 - $2= $2-$2= 0
Answer:
x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or x = sqrt(3) or x = -sqrt(3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
-8 + x^2 + (x^2 - 8)^2 = 20
Expand out terms of the left hand side:
x^4 - 15 x^2 + 56 = 20
Subtract 20 from both sides:
x^4 - 15 x^2 + 36 = 0
Substitute y = x^2:
y^2 - 15 y + 36 = 0
The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:
(y - 12) (y - 3) = 0
Split into two equations:
y - 12 = 0 or y - 3 = 0
Add 12 to both sides:
y = 12 or y - 3 = 0
Substitute back for y = x^2:
x^2 = 12 or y - 3 = 0
Take the square root of both sides:
x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or y - 3 = 0
Add 3 to both sides:
x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or y = 3
Substitute back for y = x^2:
x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or x^2 = 3
Take the square root of both sides:
Answer: x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or x = sqrt(3) or x = -sqrt(3)
X= sales tax %
Step 1:
$240 * sales tax %= $12
240 * x= 12
240x=12
Divide both sides by 240
x= 0.05 (decimal of the %)
Convert to %:
Multiply decimal by 100 (or move decimal to the right two decimal places
=0.05 x 100
=5 %
The sales tax is 5%.
Hope this helps! :)
