Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original number = x

x+\frac{8.2}{100}*x=106\\\\x+0.082x=106\\\\1.082x=106\\\\x=\frac{106}{1.082}\\\\x=\frac{106*1000}{1.082*1000}\\\\x=\frac{106000}{1082}\\\\x=97.96\\\\

x=98.0

x=98

Using the probability concept, considering complementary probabilities, there is a 0.12 = 12% probability that the integer is of 20 or more.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

If two events are complementary, the <u>sum of their probabilities is of 1</u>. In this problem, we have that an integer being less than 20 is complementary to an integer being 20 or more.

We have that:

  • There is a 0.88 probability that the number is less than 20.
  • There is a x probability that the number is 20 or more.

These events are complementary, hence:

0.88 + x = 1

x = 1 - 0.88

x = 0.12

There is a 0.12 = 12% probability that the integer is of 20 or more.

8x(5+10)= (8x5) + (5x10)
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

i think its x= 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute:

8x × 5 = 40x

8x × 10 = 80x

8 × 5 = 40

5 × 10 =50

40x + 80x = 40 + 50

add like terms

so it'd be:

120x = 90

now divide 90 by 120 and that would give you the value of x alone which is 0.75

The weight y of an object on Mars is proportional to the weight x of the object on Earth. An object that weighs 70 pounds on Ear
Zarrin [17]
70/28 = x/250
this however is not an equation it is a proportion so you would not be able to solve using systems of equations but you could use cross multiplication to solve this problem as well

Name the point with the given coordinates (4, -2) <br><br><br> 1: K<br> 2:H<br> 3:G<br> 4:J
andrew-mc [135]

The coordinates of the point P given by (a,b) mean the point P is

at a distance |a| horizontally in the positive x-direction if a>0 and at a distance |a| horizontally in the negative x-direction if a .

Also, point P is at a distance |b| horizontally in the positive y-direction if b>0 and at a distance |b| horizontally in the negative y-direction if b .

Hence the point with coordinates (4,-2) is 4 units horizontally in the positive x-direction and 2 units vertically in the negative y-direction. So the point is is H. Correct choice is (2).
