Hello!

<em><u>Answer: 5x+13</u></em>

Explanation:

Distributive property: → $a(b+c)=ab+ac$

Expand the form.

$5(3+x)$

multiply by 5*3.

$5*3=15$

$=15+5x$

$15+5x-2$

Simplify by equation or expand.

$15+5x-2=5x+13$

Hope this helps!

Let x represent the amount of frozen yogurt (in hundreds of gallons) sold by the G&T restaurant on any day during the summer

musickatia [10]

Answer:

a) The probability of selling less than 100 gallons (x≤1) is P=0.16.

b) The mean number of gallons is M=80 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of selling x, in hundred of gallons, on any day during the summer is y(x)=0.32x, in a range for x from [0;2.5].

The probability of selling less than 100 gallons (x≤1) is then:

$P(x\leq1)=\int_0^{100}0.32x\cdot dx\\\\P(x\leq1)=0.16(x_b^2-x_a^2)\\\\P(x\leq1)=0.16(1^2-0^2)=0.16$

The mean number of gallons can be calculated as:

$M=\int_0^{2.5}(y(x)/x)\cdot dx=\int_0^{2.5}(0.32)\cdot dx\\\\M=0.32(x_b-x_a)=0.32(2.5-0)=0.32*2.5=0.8$
