-1/2=3/2k+3/2 Please show how you got your answer

Solve the equation. 3 (x - 1) = 18

In-s [12.5K]

3 ( x - 1 ) = 18
or, 3x - 3 = 18
or, 3x = 18 - 3
or, 3x = 15
or, x = 15 ÷ 3
or, x = 5

Answer:

x = 5

Hope you could understand.

A group of students at a high school took a standardized test. The number of students who passed or failed the exam is broken do

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Since P(male)xP(fail) = 0.0549 and and P(male and fail) = 0.0773, the two results are different, so the events are not independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent events:

Two events, A and B are independent, if:

$P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)$

Probability of male:

58 + 14 = 72 males out of 58 + 14 + 98 + 11 = 181

So

P(male) = 72/181 = 0.3978

Probability of failling:

14 + 11 = 25 students fail out of 181. So

P(fail) = 28/181 = 0.1381

Multiplitication of male and failling:

0.3978*0.1381 = 0.0549

Probability of being male and failing:

14 out of 181. So

14/181 = 0.0773

Different probabilities, so not independent.

Since P(male)xP(fail) = 0.0549 and and P(male and fail) = 0.0773, the two results are different, so the events are not independent.

Answer:

$x=\frac{15}{4}=3\frac{3}{4}$

Equation:

$\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{5}{6} =\frac{10}{3}$

<h3>Step-by-step solution</h3>

Linear equations with one unknown

_____________________________________

1. Group all constants on the right side of the equation

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x+\frac{5}{6}=\frac{10}{3}$

Subtract $5/6$ from both sides:

$\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{5}{6}-\frac{5}{6}=\frac{10}{3}-\frac{5}{6}$

Combine the fractions:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x+\frac{5-5}{6}=\frac{10}{3}-\frac{5}{6}$

Combine the numerators:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x+\frac{0}{6}=\frac{10}{3}-\frac{5}{6}$

Reduce the zero numerator:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x+0=\frac{10}{3}-\frac{5}{6}$

Simplify the arithmetic:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{10}{3}-\frac{5}{6}$

Find the lowest common denominator:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{10\cdot 2}{3\cdot 2}+\frac{-5}{6}$

Multiply the denominators:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{10\cdot 2}{6}+\frac{-5}{6}$

Multiply the numerators:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{20}{6}+\frac{-5}{6}$

Combine the fractions:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{20-5}{6}$

Combine the numerators:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{15}{6}$

Find the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{5\cdot 3}{2\cdot 3}$

Factor out and cancel the greatest common factor:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{5}{2}$

2. Isolate the x

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{5}{2}$

Multiply both sides by inverse fraction 3/2:

$\frac{2}{3}x\cdot \frac{3}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\cdot \frac{3}{2}$

Group like terms:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot \frac{3}{2}x=\frac{5}{2}\cdot \frac{3}{2}$

Simplify the fraction:

$x=\frac{5}{2}\cdot \frac{3}{2}$

Multiply the fractions:

$x=\frac{5\cdot 3}{2\cdot 2}$

Simplify the arithmetic:

$x=\frac{15}{2\cdot 2}$

Simplify the arithmetic:

$x=\frac{15}{4}$

Why learn this

Linear equations cannot tell you the future, but they can give you a good idea of what to expect so you can plan ahead. How long will it take you to fill your swimming pool? How much money will you earn during summer break? What are the quantities you need for your favorite recipe to make enough for all your friends?

Linear equations explain some of the relationships between what we know and what we want to know and can help us solve a wide range of problems we might encounter in our everyday lives.
