Answer:

a) x=105/3 = 35 b) x=6.  c) x=90

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 3x-5=100. To solve this we first add 5 to both sides and we get 3x=105. Then we divide both sides by 3 to find x. We then get x = 105/3 which simplifies to 35. To double check we can put 35 back into the equation and we get 3(35)-5=100 and we get 105-5=100. 100=100 Check

b)6 (x-4) = 12. First we need to divide both sides by 6. then after dividing both sides by 6 we are left with (x-4) = 2. Then we must add both sides by 4 to find x. We will then get x =6. To double check we can put 6 back into the equation and we get 6 (6-4) = 12 and we get 6(2) = 12. 12=12 check

c) 1/3x - 10 = 20. First we need to add 10 to both sides and we end up with 1/3x = 30. Then you can simplify this two ways. Either multiply both sides by 3 or divide both sides by 1/3, either way you will get the same answer. This will leave you with x = 90.  To double check we can put 90 back into the equation and we get 1/3(90) - 10 = 20 and we get 30-10 = 20. 20=20 check

The waiting times between a subway departure schedule and the arrival of a passenger are uniformly distributed between 0 and 5 m
Grace [21]

Answer:

0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to use for uniform distribution is equal to

P( X < x) = \frac{x-a}{b-a}

where,

b is the upper limit of the distribution which is 5 minutes in this case.

a is the lower limit of the distribution which is 0 minutes in this case.

x is the concerned value which is 1.75 minutes in this case.

substitute the given values

P( X< 1.75) = \frac{1.75-0}{5-0}=0.35

That means

The probability that a randomly selected passenger has a waiting time less than 1.75 minutes is 0.35

Expand and simplify 4 ( y + 6 ) − 2 ( y − 2 )
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

[ Answer ]

\boxed{2y \ + \ 28}

[ Explanation ]

4(y + 6) - 2(y - 2)

[Expand] 4(y + 6): 4y + 24

4y + 24 - 2(y - 2)

[Expand] -2(y - 2): -2y + 4

4y + 24 - 2y + 4

[Simplify] 4y + 24 - 2y + 4: 2y + 28

= 2y + 28

\boxed{[ \ Eclipsed \ ]}
