Your math teacher asked you to solve the equation in the box.

Answer:

x = x - 4/6

false

Step-by-step explanation:

6(x - 1) - 4x = 2(3x - 5)

First, lets distribute the 6 to each item inside the parentheses on the left side. You can do this by multiplying the 6 by each term.

6 * x = 6x

6 * -1 = -6

6x - 6 - 4x = 2(3x - 5)

Next, we will combine like terms.

6x - 4x = 2x

2x - 6 = 2(3x - 5)

Now, let's look at the right side of the equation.

Let's distribute the 2 to each item inside the parentheses on the left side. You can do this by multiplying the 2 by each term.

2 * 3x = 6x

2 * -5 = -10

6x - 1 = 6x - 5

Immediately, we can tell this is false, but let's solve the equation just to make sure.

6x - 1 = 6x - 5

+1              +1

6x = 6x - 4

---     --------

6        6

x = x - 4/6

This is false.

Identify the reflection rule in the given figure.
saul85 [17]

Answer: A) Reflection along the line y = -1

===========================================================

Explanation:

Point A is at (1,5). Point A' is at (1,-7).

Apply the midpoint formula to find the center of these two points.

You should get (1,-1) as that midpoint.

Follow these steps for B(-1,3) and B'(-1,-5) to get the midpoint (-1,-1)

Those midpoints we found are located on the mirror line. We only need two such points to plot it. Drawing a line through (1,-1) and (-1,-1) graphs the equation y = -1. This is the horizontal line through -1 on the y axis.

10 normal six sided dice are thrown.Find the probability of obtaining at least 8 failuresif a success is 5 or 6.
erastova [34]

Answer:

0.2992 = 29.92% probability of obtaining at least 8 failures.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each dice, there are only two possible outcomes. Either a failure is obtained, or a success is obtained. Trials are independent, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

A success is 5 or 6.

A dice has 6 sides, numbered 1 to 6. Since a success is 5 or 6, the other 4 numbers are failures, and the probability of failure is:

p = \frac{4}{6} = 0.6667

10 normal six sided dice are thrown.

This means that n = 10

Find the probability of obtaining at least 8 failures.

This is:

P(X \geq 8) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.6667)^{8}.(0.3333)^{2} = 0.1951

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.6667)^{9}.(0.3333)^{1} = 0.0867

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.6667)^{10}.(0.3333)^{0} = 0.0174

Then

P(X \geq 8) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.1951 + 0.0867 + 0.0174 = 0.2992

0.2992 = 29.92% probability of obtaining at least 8 failures.
