$4x- \frac{5}{y}=2z \\ + \frac{5}{y}\ \ \ \ \ \ +\frac{5}{y} \\ 4x=2z+ \frac{5}{y} \\ /4\ \ \ \ \ /4 \\ \boxed{x= \frac{2}{4}z+ \frac{20}{y}}$

So you don't know the value of x, y, or z; all you're told is to solve for x. This is not impossible (even though it may seem like it). Your answer will have several variables in it, but in algebra you won't always have the complete answer.
Start with the equation: 4x - 5 / y = 2z
The first thing you'll want to do to it is try to get x alone on one side.
4x - 5 / y = 2z
+5 +5 --> 4x / y = 2z +5
*y *y --> 4x = y (2z + 5)
/4 /4 --> x = (y (2z + 5)) / 4
Your final answer will be: x = (y (2z +5)) / 4
Hope it makes sense to you!!

7.109) The leading brand of dishwasher detergent has a 30% market share. A sample of 25 dishwasher detergent customers was taken

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

0.9021 = 90.21% probability that 10 or fewer customers choose the leading brand

Step-by-step explanation:

For each customer, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they choose the leading brand, or they do not. The probability of a customer choosing the leading brand is independent of any other customer, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

The leading brand of dishwasher detergent has a 30% market share.

This means that $p = 0.3$

A sample of 25 dishwasher detergent customers was taken.

This means that $n = 25$

a. What is the probability that 10 or fewer customers choose the leading brand?

This is:

$P(X \leq 10) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{25,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{25} = 0.0001$

$P(X = 1) = C_{25,1}.(0.3)^{1}.(0.7)^{24} = 0.0014$

$P(X = 2) = C_{25,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{23} = 0.0074$

$P(X = 3) = C_{25,3}.(0.3)^{3}.(0.7)^{22} = 0.0243$

$P(X = 4) = C_{25,4}.(0.3)^{4}.(0.7)^{21} = 0.0572$

$P(X = 5) = C_{25,5}.(0.3)^{5}.(0.7)^{20} = 0.1030$

$P(X = 6) = C_{25,6}.(0.3)^{6}.(0.7)^{19} = 0.1472$

$P(X = 7) = C_{25,7}.(0.3)^{7}.(0.7)^{18} = 0.1712$

$P(X = 8) = C_{25,8}.(0.3)^{8}.(0.7)^{17} = 0.1651$

$P(X = 9) = C_{25,9}.(0.3)^{9}.(0.7)^{16} = 0.1336$

$P(X = 10) = C_{25,10}.(0.3)^{10}.(0.7)^{15} = 0.0916$

Then

$P(X \leq 10) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0001 + 0.0014 + 0.0074 + 0.0243 + 0.0572 + 0.1030 + 0.1472 + 0.1712 + 0.1651 + 0.1336 + 0.0916 = 0.9021$

0.9021 = 90.21% probability that 10 or fewer customers choose the leading brand

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches shorter than double its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 192 inches. Write a two-s

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Let the width = x

Let the length = x + 5

Equation

2w + 2W = P

Solution

2x + 2(x + 5) = 192 Remove the brackets <=== Answer

2x + 2x + 10 = 192 Combine like terms

4x + 10 = 192 Subtract 10 from both sides

4x = 192 - 10

4x = 182 Divide by 4

4x/4 = 182/4

x = 45.5

Kiran is spending $12 on games and rides at another carnival, where a game

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

0.25x + y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Kiran is spending $12 on games

it means that he can spend total of $12 on rides and games

number of games is represented by x

cost of 1 game = $0.25

cost of x games = $0.25*x = $0.25x

number of rides is represented by y

cost of 1 rides = $1

cost of x rides = $1*y = $y

Total cost for x games and y rides =cost of x games + cost of y rides

Total cost for x games and y rides = $0.25x + $y

given that Kiran is spending $12 on games

Total cost for x games and y rides will be $12

thus,

$12 = $0.25x + $y

removing dollar sign for equation formation

0.25x + y = 12

given above is the equation to represent the relationship between the dollar

amount Kiran is spending and the number of games, x, and the number of

rides, y.
