Answer: x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we combine like terms, which in this case, is 8 and 6. Make sure to keep the minus sign next to the 2x, so it stays negative.

-2x+14=24

Next, we subtract 14 from each side.

-2x=10

Now, we divide by -2 on each side of the equation, so all we'll have is an x on one side, and a number on the other.

x = -5

8 - 2x + 6 = 24

(8 + 6) - 2x = 24

14 - 2x = 24 <em>subtract 14 from both sides</em>

-2x = 10 <em>divide both sides by (-2)</em>

The expected value of this policy to the insurance company is $285.00.

Using this formula

Policy expected value=Insurance policy charges-[(Probability × Claim)+(Probability × Claim)]

Let plug in the formula

Policy expected value=$1,300-{(.0041)($150,000)+(.08)($5,000)]

Policy expected value=$1,300-($615+$$400)

Policy expected value=$1,300-$1,015

Policy expected value=$285.00

Inconclusion the expected value of this policy to the insurance company is $285.00

Andrew [12]

Answer:

$2\text{ mph}$

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: kayden paddled a canoe to an island. the island is $8$ miles from the shore. his trip to the island took two hours while paddling against the current. he paddles $6$ mph with no current.

TO FIND: what was the speed of the current.

SOLUTION:

distance of island from the shore $=8$ miles

total time taken by Kayden $=2$ hours

speed of Kayden in still water $=6\text{ mph}$

Let the speed of current be $x$

Speed of Kayden against current $=6-x\text{ mph}$

As,

$\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{speed}}$

$2=\frac{8}{6-x}$

$12-2x=8$

$x=2\text{ mph}$

Hence speed of current is $2\text{ mph}$

Simple...

you have:

1.) -8x-16 --->>>

Factor out a -8 -->>

-8(x+2)

2.)9d+15db --->

Factor out 3d -->

3d(3+5b)

3.) 2a-9ax-->>
