Answer:

-1.8 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

12(x+3)=-8x

Distribute

12x +36 = -8x

Subtract 12x from each side

12x-12x +36 = -8x-12x

36 = -20x

Divide each side by -20

36/-20 = -20x/-20

-9/5 = x

Changing to decimal form

-1.8 =x

The function y=60/x relates y, the time in hours that it takes micheal to travel to his grandparents house,to x , his average sp
Andrews [41]

Answer:

60 represents the distance

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : y is the time in hours that it takes Micheal to travel to his grandparents house,

            x is his average speed in miles per hour.

To Find: What does the number 60 represents

Solution :

Time= y

x = speed

So, To find distance we will use formula :

Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed}

y = \frac{Distance}{x}  -- A

Given function: y = \frac{60}{x} --B

On comparing A and B

Distance = 60 miles

So, 60 represents the distance .

How to solve this. I am very confused.
sergiy2304 [10]

To solve, we will need to plug in -5 for x in both instances.

|-5 + 2| / -5 + 2

|-3| / -3

Now, these absolute value bars may be a bit puzzling. What we have to do is take the absolute value of the number inside of the brackets. Meaning, that if the number is negative, we make it positive, and if the number is positive, then it stays positive.

3 / -3

-1

Hope this helps!! :)

A test was given to a group of students. The grades and gender are summarized below A B C TotalMale 5 9 2 16Female 7 11 12 30Tot
faust18 [17]

Probability that the student got a 'C' GIVEN they are female = number of females that got a C in the test/number of females

From the information given,

number of females that got a C in the test = 12

number of females = 30

Thus,

Probability that the student got a 'C' GIVEN they are female = 12/30

We would simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 6. Thus,

Probability that the student got a 'C' GIVEN they are female = 2/5
