Solve 1/3x - 5/6x =1/4

Mathematics
1 answer:
Harrizon [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\frac{1}{3}x  - \frac{5}{6} x = \frac{1}{4}

Find the common denominator for the fractions, which is 6. Rewrite 1/3 as 2/6.

\frac{2}{6}x  - \frac{5}{6} x = \frac{1}{4}

Combine like terms.

-\frac{3}{6} x = \frac{1}{4}

Simplify.

-0.5x = 1/4

Divide both sides by -0.5.

x = -1/2 = -0.5

Teresa is factoring this polynomial by grouping. Which common factors should be used in the next step of factoring? 10x3 3x2−20x
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

−2=−2x^3

Step-by-step explanation:

10x3= 3x2−20x−6=(10x3⋅(3x2))(−20x−6)=−600x6−180x5x2=−600x6−180x5−2x⋅(2x2)=−4x3−2x⋅x2=−2x^3

−2=−2x3

2x^2=−2x^3

−2=−2x^3

Please please help!!!! According to the probability distribution below, what is the expected value of X? X 0 1 2 3 4 5 P(X) 0.3
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

D.) The expected value is 1.78

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of a probability distribution is evaluated using the formula.

Expected Value, E(X)=\sum^{n}_{i=1}x_iP(x_i)

Therefore, from the given probability distribution, we have:

E(X)=(0*0.3)+(1*0.2)+(2*0.16)+(3*0.2)+(4*0.04)+(5*0.1)

E(X)=1.78

The Expected value of X is 1.78.

The correct option is D.

The moon takes 28 days to orbit around the earth going at a distance of 2,413,000. How many kilometers does it take for the moon
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

As per the statement;

The moon takes 28 days to orbit around the earth going at a distance of 2,413,000 km

From the above information,

The ratio between Distance and Days is; \frac{2413000}{28}

then,

the distance it takes for the moon to travel one day of its orbit around the earth we have;

\frac{2413000}{28} \times 1 = \frac{2413000}{28}=86178.57 km.

Therefore, the distance in kilometer does the moon cover in 1 day is 86178.57 km
