Kurt has 93 United States stamps in his collection

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

Kurt has a collection of 155 United States and Canadian stamps
He has 1.5 times as many United States stamps as Canadian stamps

We need to find how many United States stamps Kurt has in his collection

Assume that kart has x Canadian stamps

∵ kart has x Canadian stamps

∵ He has 1.5 times as many United States stamps as Canadian stamps

- That means the number of United States stamps is 1.5 times

the number of the Canadian stamps

∴ The number of the United States stamps = 1.5 x

∵ Kurt has a collection of 155 United States and Canadian stamps

- Add the two numbers of stamps and equate the answer by 155

∴ x + 1.5 x = 155

- Add like terms

∴ 2.5 x = 155

- Divide both sides by 2.5

∴ x = 62

∵ The number of United States stamps = 1.5 x

∴ The number of United States stamps = 1.5(62)

∴ The number of United States stamps = 93 stamps

Kurt has 93 United States stamps in his collection

Solve for d 6d -11/2 = 2d -13/2. Please answer quickly

Slav-nsk [51]

6d -11/2 = 2d -13/2

Subtract 2d from both sides

6d -11/2 - 2d = 2d -13/2 - 2d

Simplifying

4d -11/2 = -13/2

Add 11/2 to both sides

4d -11/2 + 11/2 = -13/2 + 11/2

Simplifying

4d = -2/2

4d = -1

Divide both sides by 4

4d/4 = -1/4

Simplifying

d = - 1/4

How many solutions does 9(z+8)=-9z-72 have

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

1 solution.

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

9(z + 8) = -9z - 72

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

Distribute 9: 9x + 72 = -9z - 72
Add 9z to both sides: 18z + 72 = -72
Subtract 72 on both sides: 18z = -144
Divide 18 on both sides: z = -8

Here we see that we will get only 1 solution for <em>z</em>.

Two streams flow into a reservoir. Let X and Y be two continuous random variables representing the flow of each stream with join

zlopas [31]

Answer:

c = 0.165

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x, y) = cx y(1 + y) for 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 3,

f(x, y) = 0 otherwise.

Required:

The value of c

To find the value of c, we make use of the property of a joint probability distribution function which states that

$\int\limits^a_b \int\limits^a_b {f(x,y)} \, dy \, dx = 1$

where a and b represent -infinity to +infinity (in other words, the bound of the distribution)

By substituting cx y(1 + y) for f(x, y) and replacing a and b with their respective values, we have

$\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {cxy(1+y)} \, dy \, dx = 1$

Since c is a constant, we can bring it out of the integral sign; to give us

$c\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {xy(1+y)} \, dy \, dx = 1$

Open the bracket

$c\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {xy+xy^{2} } \, dy \, dx = 1$

Integrate with respect to y

$c\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{xy^{2}}{2} +\frac{xy^{3}}{3} } \, dx (0,3}) = 1$

Substitute 0 and 3 for y

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{x* 3^{2}}{2} +\frac{x * 3^{3}}{3} ) - (\frac{x* 0^{2}}{2} +\frac{x * 0^{3}}{3})} \, dx = 1$

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{x* 9}{2} +\frac{x * 27}{3} ) - (0 +0) \, dx = 1$

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{9x}{2} +\frac{27x}{3} ) \, dx = 1$

Add fraction

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{27x + 54x}{6}) \, dx = 1$

$c\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{81x}{6} \, dx = 1$

Rewrite;

$c\int\limits^3_0 (81x * \frac{1}{6}) \, dx = 1$

The $\frac{1}{6}$ is a constant, so it can be removed from the integral sign to give

$c * \frac{1}{6}\int\limits^3_0 (81x ) \, dx = 1$

$\frac{c}{6}\int\limits^3_0 (81x ) \, dx = 1$

Integrate with respect to x

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{81x^{2}}{2} (0,3) = 1$

Substitute 0 and 3 for x

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{81 * 3^{2} - 81 * 0^{2}}{2} = 1$

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{81 * 9 - 0}{2} = 1$

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{729}{2} = 1$

$\frac{729c}{12} = 1$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{12}{729}$

$c = \frac{12}{729}$

$c = 0.0165 (Approximately)$

Add or subtract. Simplify, show your work for each problem.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

184

Step-by-step explanation:

Parentheses first, then powers, then then multiplication and division, then adding and subtraction. 6^2=36, then add the other numbers in the parentheses.(4)(36+3+7)=(4)(46) and 4 times 46 equals 184.
