The difference of twice a number and five is three. Find the number.

Mathematics
1 answer:
ss7ja [257]2 years ago
5 0

let x = a number

difference means that its subtraction

twice a number is 2x

so the equation should be

2x-5=3

add 5 to both sides

2x=8

divide both sides by 2

x=4

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

To calculate 25 percent of a number, simply divide it by 4. For example, 25 percent of 12 is 12 divided by 4, or 3. 10 percent means one tenth. To calculate 10 percent of a number, simply divide it by 10 or move the decimal point one place to the left.

The line represented by 2y = x + 8 is dilated by a scale factor of k centered at the origin, such that the image of the line has
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

k=\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A dilation is a non rigid transformation that produce similar figures

If two lines are similar, then the lines are parallel

Lines parallel have the same slope

so

we have

Line A

2y=x+8

isolate the variable y

y=0.5x+4 ----> equation A

The slope of the line A is m=0.5

The y-intercept of the line A is b=4

Line B

y-\frac{1}{2}x=2

isolate the variable y

y=\frac{1}{2}x+2 ----> equation B

The slope of the line B is m=0.5

The y-intercept of the line B is b=2

Remember that

The y-intercept of line A multiplied by the scale factor k must be equal to the y-intercept of line B

so

4k=2

solve for k

k=\frac{1}{2}

Assume that the poisson distribution applies and that the mean number of hurricanes in a certain area is 7.2 per year.
SCORPION-xisa [38]
Part A:

The poisson distribution is given by 

P(x;\mu)=e^{-\mu}\cdot \frac{\mu^x}{x!}

Thus, given that <span>the mean number of hurricanes in a certain area is 7.2 per year.

The </span><span>probability​ that, in a​ year, there will be 6 hurricanes is given by

</span>P(6;7.2)=e^{-7.2}\cdot \frac{7.2^6}{6!} \\ \\ =0.000747\times \frac{139314.0695}{720} \\ \\ =0.000747\times193.492 \\ \\ =0.1445


Part B:

<span>In a 45​-year ​period, the number of years that are expected to have 6 ​hurricanes is given by 0.1445 x 45 = 6.5 years.


Part C:

The poisson distribution worked here because, the observed value of the number of years that hurricanes occurred in a 45 year period which is 6 is very close to the calculated value which is 6.5</span>
