Answer:

D. 8/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the 13 drops, the pen crossed a line 8 times (there are 8 1's).  So the probability is 8/13.

z 5 ​ − z+2 2z+4 ​ =−3 space, startfraction, 5, divided by, z, end fraction, minus, start fraction, 2, z, plus, 4, divided by, z
yan [13]

Answer:

The sum of all the possible values for z that satisfy the above equation is -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

\frac{5}{z}-\frac{2z+4}{z+2}=-3

We need to find the sum of all the possible values for z that satisfy the above equation.

The given equation can be rewritten as

\frac{5}{z}-\frac{2(z+2)}{z+2}=-3

Cancel out common factors.

\frac{5}{z}-2=-3

Add 2 on both sides.

\frac{5}{z}-2+2=-3+2

\frac{5}{z}=-1

5=-z

Multiply both sides by -1.

-5=z

Only z=-5 satisfy the given equation.

Therefore the sum of all the possible values for z that satisfy the above equation is -5.

Carrie has 40 more nickels than Joan has dimes. They both have the same amount of money. How many coins does each girl have? Wha
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Carrie and Joan have 80 nickels and 40 dimes, respectively, and each one has an amount of money of 4 US dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be x and y the amounts of nickels and dimes that Carrie and Joan have, as c the total amount of money that both Carrie and Joan have. A nickel is a five cent coin and a dime is a ten cent coin.

The following equations are constructed after a careful reading on statement:

Carrie's amount of money:

0.05\cdot x = c (Eq. 1)

Joan's amount of money:

0.10\cdot y = c (Eq. 2)

Relation between amounts of coins:

x = y+40 (Eq. 3)

First we eliminate c by equalizing (Eq. 1) and (Eq. 2):

0.05\cdot x = 0.10\cdot y

Then, we reduce the resulting formula by (Eq. 3):

0.05\cdot (y+40) = 0.10\cdot y

y+40 = 2\cdot y

y = 40

And rest of variable are now determined:

x = 40+40

x = 80

c = 0.05\cdot (80)

c  = 4

Carrie and Joan have 80 nickels and 40 dimes, respectively, and each one has an amount of money of 4 US dollars.

3y+z=am-4y look for y
LenKa [72]

The value of y is am-z/7

<h3>How to calculate the value of y ?</h3>

The expression is given as follows

3y +z= am-4y

The first step is to collect the like terms in both sides, this way the numbers that both have y as their coefficient will be on the same side

3y + 4y= am-z

y(3+4)= am -z

7y= am-z

Divide both sides by the coefficient of y which is 7

7y/7= am-z/7

y= am-z/7

Hence the value of y in the expression is am-z/7

Find the value of x that makes this equation true, just write a number for your answer. Use / for writing fractions
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

8/21 = -2/7x

8*7x/21 = -2

56x/21 = -2

56x = -2*21

56x = -42

56x/56 = -42/56
