Answer: x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distribute the 3 into the parenthesis

3x - 18 + 6 = 5x - 6

2. Combine like terms (on the left side of the equation

3x - 12 = 5x - 6

3. Add 6 to both sides to get rid of the -6 on the right side

3x - 6 = 5x

4. Subtract 3x from both sides to get rid of the 3x from the left side

-6 = 2x

5. Divide both sides by 2

-3 = x

Answer:

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x−6)+6=5x−6

(3)(x)+(3)(−6)+6=5x+−6(Distribute)

3x+−18+6=5x+−6

(3x)+(−18+6)=5x−6(Combine Like Terms)

3x+−12=5x−6

3x−12=5x−6

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

3x−12−5x=5x−6−5x

−2x−12=−6

Step 3: Add 12 to both sides.

−2x−12+12=−6+12

−2x=6

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.

−2x

−2

x=−3

Half of a set of the parts are manufactured by machine A and half by machine B. Ten percent of all the parts are defective. Six

baherus [9]

Answer:

The probability that a part was manufactured on machine A is 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that Half of a set of parts are manufactured by machine A and half by machine B.

P(A)=0.5

Let d represents the probability that part is defective.

Ten percent of all the parts are defective.

P(d) = 0.10

Six percent of the parts manufactured on machine A are defective.

P(d|A)=0.06

Now we need to find the probability that a part was manufactured on machine A, and given that the part is defective :

$P(A|d) =\frac{P(A \cap d)}{P(d)}$

$P(A|d) =\frac{P(d|A)\times P(A)}{P(d)}\\P(A|d)= \frac{0.06\times 0.5}{0.10}$

$P(A|d)= 0.3$

Hence, the probability that a part was manufactured on machine A is 0.3

I need help on understanding this concept

Sedbober [7]

So the slope formula is m= (y2-y1) /
(x2-x1). You can label -2 as x1 and 11 as y1. And the other point is x2 and y2. They you just plug it in the m= (y2-y1) /
(x2-x1) formula and solve. To get a better understanding look up, how to find the slope of a line with two points. Hope it helps
