Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

2(x + 5) = 26

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute 2: 2x + 10 = 26

Subtract 10 on both sides: 2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2: x = 8

First we have to Distribute 2(x + 5)= 26
When Distributed: 2*x= 2x + 2*5=10
No we lets bring it down 2x+10=26
Now subtract the 10-10 and you get 0.
Subtract 26-10= 16
Now bring the equation down 2x=16
Then we divide both sides by 2 and that would give us 8 as the answer :)

At the end of 8 years, Anna paid $400 interest for a loan. If the simple annual interest rate was 4%, how much did Anna borrow?

antiseptic1488 [7]

$1250

Use the formula i = prt

In this case, we don't know P or Principal amount

i = 400

r = .04 *found by diving 4/100*

n = 8

Set formula to solve for P like: P= i/r(n)

P=400/.04(8)

P= 400/.32

P = 1250

A homeowner has two smoke detector alarms installed, one in the dining room (adjacent to the kitchen) and one in an upstairs bed

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

0.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a homeowner has two smoke detector alarms installed, one in the dining room (adjacent to the kitchen) and one in an upstairs bedroom (above the kitchen). If cooking produces smoke in the kitchen, the probability of setting off the dining room alarm (D) is .95. The probability of setting off the bedroom alarm (B) is .40.

Both alarms are independent of each other.

Probability for smoke detection=P(any one alarm rings)

=P(Kitchen alarm sets off)+P(bed room alarm sets off)-P(Both sets off)

Since both are independent

P(Both) = $0.95*0.40\\=0.38$
