Answer:
The second number would be 8 or 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the unknown number,
Since, first number = 17,
So, the difference between x and 17 = |17 - x |
According to the question,
|17 - x | = 9
17 - x = ± 9
17 - x = 9 or 17 - x = -9
17 - 9 = x or 17 + 9 = x
⇒ x = 8 or x = 26
Hence, the second number would be 8 or 26.
Answer:
(a)
(b) We cross multiply the probability by the total voters
(c) 9347
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
Probability of getting a republican voter is
These are found by dividing the first numerator and denominator by 2, then by 3
To make it complete, the situation is therefore defined as where y is unknown value
(b)
Cross multiplication of the probability and number of voters gives the actual figure of y in the equation formed in part a of the question.
(c)
Since we have 15240 voters who plan to participate in election, we cross multiply to get the approximate number of republican voters which yields
