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>

  1. Distribute 9:                              9x + 72 = -9z - 72
  2. Add 9z to both sides:               18z + 72 = -72
  3. Subtract 72 on both sides:       18z = -144
  4. 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.
