Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$3[-x + (2 x + 1)] = x -1\\\\\mathrm{Expand\:}3\left(-x+\left(2x+1\right)\right):\quad 3x+3\\3x+3=x-1\\$

Collect like terms

$3x -x =-1-3$

Add similar elements

$2x = -4\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}2\\\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-4}{2}\\\\Simplify\\\\x = -2$

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

a) There is a 45.53% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

b) There is a 41.07% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

c) There is a 18.70% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

d) There is a 58.93% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Step-by-step explanation:

This a probability problem.

The probability formula is given by:

$P = \frac{D}{T}$

In which P is the probability, D is the number of desired outcomes and T is the number of total outcomes.

The problem states that:

123 people walked by the store.

56 people came into the store.

23 bought something in the store.

(a) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

123 people walked by the store and 56 entered the store, so $T = 123, D = 56$ .

$P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{56}{123} = 0.4553$

There is a 45.53% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

(b) Estimate the probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

56 people came into the store and 23 bought something, so $T = 56, D = 23$ .

$P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{23}{56} = 0.4107$

There is a 41.07% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

(c) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

123 people walked by the store and 23 came in and bought something, so $T = 123, D = 23$ .

$P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{23}{123} = 0.1870$

There is a 18.70% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

(d) Estimate the probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Of the 56 people whom came into the store, 23 bought something. This means that 56-23 = 33 of them did not buy anything. So:

$D = 33, T = 56$

$P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{33}{56} = 0.5893$

There is a 58.93% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Find the following when a = -1, b = 2, c = -1/4<br> (4b - 3)/(2a) -1

Katena32 [7]

We substitute the given into the equation
given: a=-1, b=2, c= $\frac{-1}{4}$
=( $\frac{4b-3}{2a}$ -1
= $\frac{4(2)-3}{2(-1)}$ -1
= $\frac{8-3}{-2}$ -1
= $\frac{5}{-2}$ -1
to continue, we can either find a common denominator or change the fraction to decimal.
Fraction to Decimal:
$\frac{5}{-2}$ =-2.5
Equation=-2.5-1=-3.5
OR Common Denominator:
= $\frac{5}{-2}$ $\frac{-1}{1}$ × $\frac{-2}{-2}$ (denominator should be -2=common)
= $\frac{5}{-2}$ + $\frac{2}{-2}$
= $\frac{7}{-2}$
which also = to -3.5
