Answer:

x = $\frac{(a - c)}{-2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

a/(2x-c) = -1

The first step is to multiply both sides by (2x - c)

(2x - c)a/(2x-c) = -1(2x - c)

a = -2x + c

a - c = -2x + c - c

a - c = -2x

Divide both side by -2

(a - c)/-2 = x

∴ x = $\frac{(a - c)}{-2}$

Answer:

$\frac{c-a}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

given $\frac{a}{2x-c}$ = - 1 ( cross- multiply )

- (2x - c ) = a ( distribute left side )

- 2x + c = a ( subtract c from both sides )

- 2x = a - c ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

2x = c - a ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = $\frac{c-a}{2}$

There is 75 gallons of water into the pool every hour if the pool can hold 6,750 gallons how long will it take to fill the pool?

Andreyy89

Answer:

90 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate at which water enters the pool is

75 gallons

-------------------

1 hour

This is equivalent to

1 hour per 75 gallons, leading to:

1 hour

-------------------- * 6,750 gallons = 90 hours

75 gallons

Answer:

a) 81π in³

b) 27 in³

c) divide the volume of the slice of cake by the volume of the whole cake

d) 10.6%

e) see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The cake can be modeled as a <u>cylinder </u>with:

diameter = 9 in
height = 4 in

$\sf Radius=\dfrac{1}{2}diameter \implies r=4.5\:in$

$\textsf{Volume of a cylinder}=\sf \pi r^2 h \quad\textsf{(where r is the radius and h is the height)}$

$\begin{aligned}\sf \implies \textsf{Volume of the cake} & =\pi (4.5)^2(4)\\ & = \sf \pi (20.25)(4)\\ & = \sf81 \pi \:\: in^3\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}\textsf{Circumference of the cake} & = \sf \pi d\\& = \sf 9 \pi \:\:in\end{aligned}$

If each slice of cake has an arc length of 3 in, then the volume of each slice is 3/9π of the entire volume of the cake.

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Volume of slice of cake} & = \sf \dfrac{3}{9 \pi} \times \textsf{volume of cake}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{3}{9 \pi} \times 81 \pi\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{243 \pi}{9 \pi}\\\\& = \sf 27\:\:in^3\end{aligned}$

The volume of each slice of cake is 27 in³.

The volume of the whole cake is 81π in³.

To calculate the probability that the first slice of cake will have the marble, divide the volume of a slice by the volume of the whole cake:

$\begin{aligned}\implies \sf Probability & = \sf \dfrac{27}{81 \pi}\\\\& = \sf 0.1061032954...\\\\ & = \sf 10.6\% \:\:(1\:d.p.)\end{aligned}$

Probability is approximately 10.6% (see above for calculation)

If the four slices of cake are cut and passed out <em>before </em>anyone eats or looks for the marble, the probability of getting the marble is the same for everyone. If one slice of cake is cut and checked for the marble before the next slice is cut, the probability will increase as the volume of the entire cake decreases, <u>until the marble is found</u>. So it depends upon how the cake is cut and distributed as to whether Hattie's strategy makes sense.

The valid probability distributions are the ones in options C and D.

<h3>Which of the following are valid probability distributions?</h3>

For discrete random variables with probabilities p₁, p₂, ..., pₙ, there are two rules:

All of these probabilities are numbers between 0 and 1.
p₁ + p₂ + ... + pₙ = 1.

So, for the first rule we can discard the first option, where we have negative probabilities.

To check the other 4 options, just add the probabilities and see if the addition gives 1.

The options that add up to 1 are C and D, so these two are the correct options.

D: 1/5 + 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/5 + 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/10 = 1

C: 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 1
