Answer: the dwarf tree grew by 3 inches.

the semi dwarf tree grew by 6 inches.

the full size tree grew by 18 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent how much the semi-dwarf lemon tree grew.

Last month, a dwarf lemon tree grew half as much as a semi-dwarf lemon tree. This means that the amount by which the dwarf lemon tree grew is expressed as x/2

A full-size lemon tree grew three times as much as the semi-dwarf lemon. This means that the amount by which the full-size lemon tree grew is expressed as 3x

Together, the three trees grew 27 inches. This means that

x/2 + x + 3x = 27

Cross multiplying by 2, it becomes

x + 2x + 6x = 54

9x = 54

x = 54/9

x = 6 inches

The dwarf tree grew by 6/2 = 3 inches.

The full-size lemon tree grew by 3 × 6 = 18 inches

1.

Chance of finding a bug = 0.35

Chance of not finding a bug = 1 - 0.35 = 0.65

Probability of finding a bug in the first 3 programs =

Probability of not finding a bug in 2 out of the 3 and finding a bug in 1.:

0.65^2 * 0.35 = 0.147 = 0.15

Answer is A.

2.

Probability of heads = 0.50

Probability of tails = 0.50

Probability of heads on the fourth attempt = tails x tails x tails x heads = 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.0625

The answer is B.

4+5(p-1) how to expand brackets and then simplify
Valentin [98]

Step-by-step explanation:

these are multiplications.

you could also write

4 + 5×(p - 1)

now, we need to calculate the contents of brackets (if we can), then do the multiplications and divisions, before we can do the then remaining additions and subtractions.

if we cannot do a calculation directly (because there is a variable involved), we need to do and document the single steps for the individual parts involved.

so,

4 + 5×(p - 1) = 4 + 5×p + 5×-1 = 4 + 5p - 5 = 5p - 1

remember, a multiplication of 2 expressions is done by multiplying every term of one expression with every term of the other expression and adding the results up (by considering their individual signs, of course).
