<u>Answer</u><u>:</u>
Equation: x + 2 = 7/8x - 15
Solution: x = -136
<u>Explanation</u><u>:</u>
x + 2 = 7/8x - 15
2 + 15 = 7/8x - x
17 = 7/8x - 8/8x
17 = -1/8x
17 × -8 = x
-136 = x

1 1/2 x 6 1/2 = 3/2 x 13/2 = 39/4 = 9 3/4 feet long
<h3>Answer: 0.47178 Step-by-step explanation:
Find the probability for each p(X=x) up to 5 using the equation: (x-1)C(r-1)*p^r * q^x-r,
where x is number of days, p = .3 (prob of rain). q=.7 (prob of not rain), and r=2 (second day of rain). also C means choose.
So p(X=1) = 0
p(X=2) = 1C1 * .3^2 * .7^0 = .09
P(X=3) = 2C1 * .3^2 * .7^1 = .126
P(X=4) = 3C1 * .3^2 * .7^2 = .1323
P(X=5) = 4C1 * .3^2 * .7^3 = .12348
Then add all of them up
0+.09+.126+.1323+.12348 = .47178</h3>
