Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LCM of 8,10 =40

$\frac{-3*5}{8*5}=\frac{-15}{40}\\\\\frac{1*4}{10*4}=\frac{4}{10}\\\\ \frac{-3}{8}-\frac{1}{10}=\frac{-15}{40}-\frac{4}{40}\\\\=\frac{-15-4}{40}=\frac{-19}{40}$

Use the graph below to estimate the solution to the system of equations shown.

Mila [183]

Answer: The second choice is answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>The first line (Blue One)</h3>

$y=-x-3$ (Slope is -1 and intercepts y at -3)

<h3>The second one (Red One)</h3>

$y=2x-8$ (Slope is 2, to find y-intercept. Substitute x = 0 then we get -8) (For x-intercept, it's 4. Just substitute y=0 to get x-intercept.)

Because there are choices, it's easy to notice.

The first one, x = -4 and almost -5 which is not right. (x is around 1 almost 2.)

The second one, x = 1 and almost 2 is right.

The third one, x = -1 and almost -2 is not right (The intersection isn't even at -1 or any negative number for x-axis.)

The fourth one, just like the first one... x = 4 almost 5

<h3>Or solve the equations.</h3>

$y=-x-3\\y=2x-8$

Substitute y=2x-8 in y=-x-3

$2x-8=-x-3\\2x-8+x+3=0\\3x-5=0\\3x=5\\x=\frac{5}{3}\\(x=1\frac{2}{3})$

Look at the value of x then find the answer that matches the value of x.

Now for y, substitute x = 5/3 in y = -x-3 (or in 2x-8 if you want.)

$y=-\frac{5}{3} -3\\y=-\frac{5}{3} -\frac{9}{3} \\y=-\frac{14}{3} \\(y=-4\frac{2}{3} )$

So the answer is the second choice.

a slitter assembly contains 48 blades five blades are selected at random and evaluated each day for sharpness if any dull blade

son4ous [18]

Answer:

P(at least 1 dull blade)=0.7068

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this helps.

This is what it's called dependent event probability, with the added condition that at least 1 out of 5 blades picked is dull, because from your selection of 5, you only need one defective to decide on replacing all.

So if you look at this from another perspective, you have only one event that makes it so you don't change the blades: that 5 out 5 blades picked are sharp. You also know that the probability of changing the blades plus the probability of not changing them is equal to 100%, because that involves all the events possible.

P(at least 1 dull blade out of 5)+Probability(no dull blades out of 5)=1

P(at least 1 dull blade)=1-P(no dull blades)

But the event of picking one blade is dependent of the previous picking, meaning there is no chance of picking the same blade twice.

So you have 38/48 on getting a sharp one on your first pick, then 37/47 (since you remove 1 sharp from the possibilities, and 1 from the whole lot), and so on.

Also since are consecutive events, you need to multiply the events.

The probability that the assembly is replaced the first day is:

P(at least 1 dull blade)=1-P(no dull blades)

$P(at least 1 dull blade)=1-(\frac{38}{48}* \frac{37}{47} *\frac{36}{46}*\frac{35}{45}*\frac{34}{44})$

$P(at least 1 dull blade)=1-0.2931$

P(at least 1 dull blade)=0.7068

The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 195. Find the three integers.

Anettt [7]

Good afternoon,

x= first odd integer
x+2 = second odd integer
x+4= third intenger

The sum of the trhree integer is 195, so:

x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 195
3x = 195 - 4 - 2
3x=189
x= 63

Then the Answer is: 63, 65 and 67
