Answer:

n = 25/2, or n = 12 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

It's essential that you use parentheses here to show how your numerals are grouped. I have made some assumptions here, and believe you meant:

(1 1/2)(n - 4 1/2) = 12.

First, convert 1 1/2 and 4 1/2 into improper fractions:

(3/2)(n - 9/2) = 12

Multiplying both sides by (2/3) eliminates the fractional coefficient (3/2):

n - 9/2 = (2/3)(12), or n - 9/2 = 8.

Again, eliminate the fraction by multiplying all terms by 2:

2n - 9 = 16

Then 2n = 25, and n = 25/2, or n = 12 1/2

Solve the following inequality. 21<_-3(x - 4) < 30 A. 28<_x < 37 B. -3 <_ x < 6 C. -6 < x <_ -3 D. -10 &

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Option C $-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$21\leq -3(x-4)$

The compound inequality can be divided into two inequality

$21\leq -3(x-4)$ -----> inequality A

$-3(x-4)$ ----> inequality B

Solve inequality A

$21\leq -3x+12$

$9\leq -3x$

Divide by -3 both sides

when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol

$-3\geq x$

Rewrite

$x\leq -3$

The solution of the inequality A is the interval (-∞,-3]

Solve the inequality B

$-3x+12$

$-3x$

Divide by -3 both sides

when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol

$x>-6$

The solution of the inequality B is the interval [-6,∞)

The solution of the compound inequality is

[-6,∞) ∩ (-∞,-3]=(-6,-3]

$-6$

To help racecar drivers safely negotiate turns, racetracks are banked at the curves. At one location, a 58 ft track is banked su

zmey [24]

The correct answer is Choice B: 53.0 feet.

If you draw a picture of the cross section, you will have a right triangle. The hypotenuse is 58 and one of the legs is 23.6. All you have to do is use the Pythagorean Theorem and solve for the missing side.

x^2 + 23.6^2 = 58^2

In Bayes Theorem, you have some starting information, then you collect some new information so that you can _______ the original

sp2606 [1]

In Bayes Theorem, apart from the already starting information, some new information so that you can update or transform the original probabilities so you now have better information.

What is Bayes Theorem?

The Bayes' theorem was named after Thomas Bayes and it is used in probability theory and statistics as one of the fundamental theorems. It estimates the likelihood of an event based on knowledge of circumstances that might be connected to it in the past.

The Formula for Bayes' Theorem

The Bayes' theorem is given as,

P(A|B) = P(A).P(B|A) / P(B)

Here, for two events A and B,

P(A|B) is the probability for likelihood of A when B is true

P(B|A) is probability for likelihood of B when A is true

P(A) is the independent probability of event A

P(B) is the independent probability of event B

Tyler went to the supermarket to buy food for a food pantry. He has $36, and can carry up to 20 pounds of food in his backpack.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

solutions: (2, 10), (4, 5)
non-solutions: all other points

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be useful to graph the inequalities related to Tyler's limits of money and weight.

1x +3y ≤ 36 . . . . . . the limit on the cost of the items Tyler can afford

1x +1.5y ≤ 20 . . . . . the limit on the weight of the items Tyler can carry

Then plotting the given points shows that only (2, 10) and (4, 5) are in the doubly-shaded area that is the solution space. The other points are not a solution.

What is the solution to the equation 1/x = x+3/2x^2

dusya [7]

D. x = 3 because 3+3 is 6 and that is over 2*3^2 which is 2*9 which means it is 6/18 then you divide both the numerator and denominator by 6 and that =1/3.
