Answer:

21x/20 or can be written as  x + x/20 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The number is x

step 1

x is increased by 50%

value of 50% of x = 50/100 *x = x/2

New value after this change = x + 50% increase = x + x/2 = 3x/2

Step 2 The value obtained is decreased by 30%

value of 30% newly found number is = 30% of value found in step 1

value of 30% newly found number is = 30/100 * 3x/2 = 9x/20

This value (9x/2) is subtracted from value found in step 1(3x/2) as given that  value obtained is decreased by 30%

new value found after 30% decrease = 3x/2 - 9x/20 = (3x*10 -9x)/20

new value found after 30% decrease = (30x-9x)/20 = 21x/20

Thus, the result of x is increased by 50% and decreased by 30% is 21x/20 = x + x/20

1:Suppose we have a bag with $10$ slips of paper in it. Eight slips have a $3$ on them and the other two have a $9$ on them. Wha
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ) No of total slips after addition = 11

8 slip with 3 on it

3 slips with 9  on it

expectation value = probability of 3 x 3 + probability of 9 x 9

=  (8 / 11)  x 3 + (3 / 11)  x 9

24 / 11 + 27 / 11 = 4.636

2 )

No of total slips after addition = 12

8 slip with 3 on it

4 slips with 9  on it

expectation value = probability of 3 x 3 + probability of 9 x 9

=  (8 / 12)  x 3 + (4 / 12)  x 9

2 + 3 = 5

3 )

Let n be the required number

No of total slips after addition = 10+n

8 slip with 3 on it

2 + n  slips with 9  on it

expectation value = probability of 3 x 3 + probability of 9 x 9

=  (8 / 10+n )  x 3 + (2+n  / 10+n )  x 9 = 6

24 + 18 + 9n / 10 + n  = 6

42 + 9n = 60 + 6n

3 n = 18

n = 6

4 )

Let n be the required number

No of total slips after addition = 10+n

8 slip with 3 on it

2 + n  slips with 9  on it

expectation value = probability of 3 x 3 + probability of 9 x 9

=  (8 / 10+n )  x 3 + (2+n  / 10+n )  x 9 = 8

24 + 18 + 9n / 10 + n  = 8

42 + 9n = 80 + 8n

n =

n = 38

Minimum of 38 has to be added .

What are the factors of x^2-8x-20
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

(x+2)(x−10)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-8x-20

Factoring means  something like  this:

(x+_)(x+_)

Add together to get -8

Multiply together to get -20

think of the two numbers

Try 2 and -10:

2+-10 = -8

2*-10 = -20

Fill in the blanks of  with 2 and -10 to get

(x+_)(x+_) = (x+2)(x−10)

I hope it's right!

M∠ABC=138° and m∠DEF=31° .
nikklg [1K]
A)The angles are neither complementary nor supplementary.

Complementary- Two angles whose sum add up to 90° ( a right angle)

Supplementary-Two angels whose sum when added together is 180°

It seems to be a obtuse angle - more than 90° but less than 180°
