–3.4 + (–8 + 2) = [ ? + (–8)] + 2 whats the missing number

1 answer:

7 0

I suppose what makes this question annoying is that there is the question mark so what i'll do first is substitute the question mark with x. also, there are annoying parenthesis so we'll first eliminate the ones we don't need. now we just have to solve for x. -3.4 + (-8 + 2) = (x + (-8)) + 2 adding a negative number is subtracting that number so x + (-8) = x - 8 -3.4 + 2 - 8 = x - 8 + 2 -3.4 -6 = x - 6 x = -3.4 make sure you are aware that the negative sign belongs to the number after it so -2 + 4 is not -(2+4) = -6 but rather 4 - 2 = 2. let me know if you have any questions!

Select the solution to the graph from the following points. Select all that apply.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

The solutions are:

(-15 , -4) ⇒ 1st

(3 , 2) ⇒ 3rd

(21 , 8) ⇒ 5th

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution of the graph let us make the equation of the line by using any two points on the line

The form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where

m is the slope of the line
b is the y-intercept (value y at x = 0)

The formula of the slope is $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

From the figure

∵ The line passes through points (-3 , 0) and (0 , 1)

- Find the slope of the line

∴ $m=\frac{1-0}{0--3}=\frac{1}{3}$

- Substitute the value of m in the form of the equation

∴ y = $\frac{1}{3}$ x + b

∵ b is the value of y at x = 0

∵ y = 1 at x = 0 ⇒ y-intercept

∴ b = 1

∴ y = $\frac{1}{3}$ x + 1

Lets substitute the x-coordinate of each point to find the y-coordinate, if the y-coordinate is equal to the y-coordinate of the points, then the point is a solution

Point (-15 , -4)

∵ x = -15

∴ y = $\frac{1}{3}$ (-15) + 1

∴ y = -5 + 1 = -4 ⇒ same value of the point

∴ (-15 , -4) is a solution

Point (-6 , 1)

∵ x = -6

∴ y = $\frac{1}{3}$ (-6) + 1

∴ y = -2 + 1 = -1 ⇒ not the same value of the point

∴ (-6 , 1) is not a solution

Point (3 , 2)

∵ x = 3

∴ y = $\frac{1}{3}$ (3) + 1

∴ y = 1 + 1 = 2 ⇒ same value of the point

∴ (3 , 2) is a solution

Point (12 , 9)

∵ x = 12

∴ y = $\frac{1}{3}$ (12) + 1

∴ y = 4 + 1 = 5 ⇒ not the same value of the point

∴ (12 , 9) is not a solution

Point (21 , 8)

∵ x = 21

∴ y = $\frac{1}{3}$ (21) + 1

∴ y = 7 + 1 = 8 ⇒ same value of the point

∴ (21 , 8) is a solution

ladessa [460]

The riddle given by Dr. Watson to Sherlock Holmes is:

217 is to 335
896 is to 543
345 is to ____

We need to find the missing number of the third pair of the riddle. This is a ratio and proportion problem.

217/ 335 = 896/ 543 = 345 / x

The value of x is 209.

Please help!!!!!!<br><br> y=[?]°

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Since there are already 2 angles shown, which are 48 and 90 (indicated by the square in the bigger triangle, we can set up an equation.

48 + 90 + y = 180

138 + y = 180

-138 + 138 + y = 180 - 138

y = 42°

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

B. Yes, because P(X ≥ 68) ≤ .05

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of a score X occuring is said to be unusually high if the probability of a score of X or larger is lower than 5%.

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they think that the court shows too much concern for criminals, or they do not think this. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
