Answer: x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Get rid of the parenthesis. You can do this by multiplying.

5x-18=2(3x-12)+4

5x-18=6x-24+4

2. Move the variables to the left and the numbers to the right. If one of the numbers is not on its side (left or right) and you need to move it, change the sign.

5x-6x=-24+4+18

Solve: Since the result is -1 and we have a variable, we can omit it.

-x=-24+22

-x=-2

Divide both sides by -1 to isolate the x

\frac{-(1)x}{-1} =\frac{-2}{-1}

Solve:

x=2

3. Proof: Replace the result in the original equation and both sides should be equal. (this step is for you to make sure that your answer is correct.

5x-18=2(3x-12)+4

5(2)-18=2[3(2)-12]+4

10-18=2(6-12)+4

-8=2(-6)+4

-8=-12+4

-8=-8

As you can see, both sides are equal to each other; which proves that x=2 is correct.

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to isolate the variable, x

5x-18=2(3x-12) +4

Distribute the 2

5x-18=2*3x + 2*-12 +4

5x-18=6x-24+4

Combine like terms (add -24 and 4)

5x-18=6x-20

Add 18 to both sides

5x=6x-2

Subtract 6x from both sides

-x=-2

Divide both sides by -1

x=2

Answer=18%

177/150=1.18

1.18=118%

118%-100%=18%

If three tenths of adults out of a hundred visitors how many adults are there.
vivado [14]
30 adults because if there are 3/10 it means they reduced so if the denominator is 100 then 30/100 is the answer :)

A frog moves in a sequence of unit steps. Each step is N, S, E or W with equal probability. It starts at the origin. Find the pr
Molodets [167]

The answer is 067.

It takes an even number of steps for the object to reach (2,2), so the number of steps the object may have taken is either 4 or 6 .

If the object took 4 steps, then it must have gone two steps $\mathrm{N}$ and two steps E, in some permutation. There are $\frac{4 !}{2 ! 2 !}=6$ ways for these four steps of occuring, and the probability is $\frac{6}{4^{4}}$.

If the object took 6 steps, then it must have gone two steps N and two steps E, and an additional pair of moves that would cancel out, either N / S or W/E. The sequences N, N, N, E, E, S can be permuted in $\frac{6 !}{3 ! 2 ! 1 !}=60$ ways. However, if the first four steps of the sequence are N, N, E, E in some permutation, it would have already reached the point (2,2) in four moves. There are $\frac{4 !}{2 ! 2 !}$ ways to order those four steps and $2 !$ ways to determine the order of the remaining two steps, for a total of 12 sequences that we have to exclude. This gives $60-12=48$ sequences of steps. There are the same number of sequences for the steps N, N, E, E, E, W, so the probability here is $\frac{2 \times 48}{4^{6}}$.

The total probability is $\frac{6}{4^{4}}+\frac{96}{4^{6}}=\frac{3}{64}$, and $m+n=067$.

What is probability?

  • Probability is synonymous with possibility. It is a mathematical discipline that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value ranges from zero to one.
  • Probability has been introduced in mathematics to predict the likelihood of occurrences occurring. Probability is defined as the degree to which something is likely to occur.
  • This is the fundamental probability theory, which is also utilized in probability distribution, in which you will learn about the possible results of a random experiment.
  • To determine the likelihood of a particular event occurring, we must first determine the total number of alternative possibilities.

-10x-15y=-30 find y<br><br>show work please
Effectus [21]

-10x - 15y = -30

-10x + 30 = 15y

(30 - 10x) / 15 = y

(30/15) - (10x/15) = y

2 - 2x/3 = y


Answer: y = -2x/3 + 2 or y = 2- 2x/3

A factory made 357,945 baseball bats over the last 2 years. During that time, the factory made 490,867 little league baseballs a
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

522,761 baseballs

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of baseball bats produced over the last 2 years = 357, 945

Number of little league baseballs produced over the last 2 years = 490,867

Number of major league baseballs produced over the last 2 years = 389,839

Total number of baseballs produced over the period = 490,867 + 389,839

                                                                                         = 880,706

Number of baseballs manufactured more than bats = 880,706 - 357945

                                                                                      = 522,761

There are 522,761 baseballs produced more than bats during the 2 years.
