Answer: Infinitely many

Step-by-step explanation:

First simplify the right side by adding 5 and 2

now you have the equation 4y+7=7+4y

That is the exact same thing so any number works.

just to add to the great reply above.

$\bf \begin{matrix} 4y \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}+7=5+2~~\begin{matrix} +4y \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}\implies 7=7$

whenever you end up with something like 0 = 0, or 7 = 7, is a flag that both equations are exactly the same, in this case, the one on the right-hand-side is really the one one the left-hand-side in disguise.

So the graph of one, is the same as the graph of the other, or put in another words, let's say the graph the first one, the second one when graphed, will just be pancaked on top of the first one, and any point whatsoever on the second one, matches with the first one, and since both lines continue infinitely, then infinitely many solutions.

sarah can complete a project in 90 minutes and her sister betty can complete it in 120 minutes if they both work on the project

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

It will take them approximately 51.43 minutes to complete the project together

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what is called a "shared job" problem.

The best way to work on them is to start by finding the "portion" of the job done by each of the people in the unit of time.

So, for example, Sarah completes the project in 90 minutes, so in the unit of time (that is 1 minute) she completed 1/90 of the total project

Betty completes the project in 120 minutes, so in the unit of time (1 minute) she completes 1/120 of the total project.

We don't know how long it would take for them to complete the project when working together, so we call that time "x" (our unknown).

Now, when they work together completing the entire job in x minutes, in the unit of time they would have done 1/x of the total project.

In the unite of time, the fraction of the job done together (1/x) should equal the fraction of the job done by Sarah (1/90) plus the fraction of the job done by Betty. This in mathematical form becomes:

$\frac{1}{x} =\frac{1}{90} +\frac{1}{120}\\\frac{1}{x} =\frac{4}{360} +\frac{3}{360}\\\frac{1}{x} =\frac{7}{360} \\x=\frac{360}{7} \\x=51.43\,\,min$

So it will take them approximately 51.43 minutes to complete the project together.

Sole for y k = p/2(y+w) y =

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Answer: y = (2k -pw)/p

Step-by-step explanation:

$k = \frac{p}{2} (y + w)$

multiply 2 on both sides:

$k \times 2 = 2 \times \frac{p}{2} (y + w) \\ \\ 2k = p(y + w)$

open the bracket:

$2k = py + pw$

subtract pw from both sides:

$2k - pw = (py + pw) - pw \\ 2k - pw = py$

divide p on both sides:

$\frac{2k - pw}{p} = \frac{py}{p} \\ \\ y = \frac{2k - pw}{p}$

Rabies is a viral disease of mammals transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The virus infects the central nervous syste

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

(a) The value of x is 0.30.

(b) The probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon is 0.45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

R = reported case of rabies is a raccoon

F = reported case of rabies is a fox

B = reported case of rabies is a bat

O = reported case of rabies is a some other animal.

The data provided is:

P (R) = 0.55

P (F) = 0.11

P (B) = 0.04

P (O) = x.

(a)

A property of a probability distribution is that the sum of all individual properties is 1.

That is, $\sum P(X)=1$

Compute the value of x as follows:

$\sum P(X)=1\\P(R)+P(F)+P(B)+P(O)=1\\0.55+0.11+0.04+x=1\\0.70+x=1\\x=1-0.70\\x=0.30$

Thus, the value of x is 0.30.

(b)

The probability of the complement of an event is the probability of its not happening.

$P(A^{c})=1-P(A)$

Compute the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon as follows:

$P(R^{c})=1-P(R)\\=1-0.55\\=0.45$

Thus, the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon is 0.45.

(c)

Compute the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox as follows:

$P(B\cup F)=P(B)+P(F)\\=0.11+0.04\\=0.15$

Thus, the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox is 0.15.

Help please can someone break these problems down for me so I can show my son thanks in advance!:)

For the second question (5/6)/(4) is the same as (5/6)*(1/4) so just multiply across and you get (5/24)
