1 answer:

6 0

Let
x----------> original number

we know that
if <span>a number is decreased by 24% of itself the result is
x*(100%-24%)/100%------> x*0.76
171=0.76*x
x=171/0.76---------> 225

the answer is
the number is 225</span>

Given that 2(-x + 4)=3 prove that x=5/2

user100 [1]

Answer:

x = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

So firstly, you want to distribute. It'll make your life much easier.

-2x + 8 = 3

-2x = -5 (subtracting 8 from both sides)

x = 5/2 (dividing both sides by -2 to obtain x)

Hope this helps :)

Find the probability for choosing a letter at random from the word: Probability P(not P) A.) 1/11 B.) 2/11 C.) 5/11 D.) 10/11

elixir [45]

Answer:

D.) 10/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the given word Probability has 11 letters in it. And we have to calculate the Probability of not selecting a letter P from the above word.

So the formula for calculating any probability is Total Favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes.

Here total number of outcomes are 11 as word Probability has 11 letters.

So the probability of selecting letter P from word Probability = $\frac{1}{11}$

Now the P(not P) = 1 - P(selecting letter P)

= 1 - $\frac{1}{11}$ = $\frac{10}{11}$
