Answer:

x=−27

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x+3)=4(x−3)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(x+3)=4(x−3)

(5)(x)+(5)(3)=(4)(x)+(4)(−3)(Distribute)

5x+15=4x+−12

5x+15=4x−12

Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.

5x+15−4x=4x−12−4x

x+15=−12

Step 3: Subtract 15 from both sides.

x+15−15=−12−15

x=−27

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5(x + 3) = 4(x - 3) ← distribute both sides

5x + 15 = 4x - 12 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

x + 15 = - 12 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

x = - 27 → B

HW 5.2

Answer:

The probability of no correct answers is 0.125 = 12.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is answered correctly, or it is not. The probability of a question being answered correctly is independent of any other question, which means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

3 trials, each with probability of success (correct) given by p=0.50.

This means that $n = 3, p = 0.5$

The probability of no correct answers is

This is P(X = 0).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.125$

The probability of no correct answers is 0.125 = 12.5%.

What is the volume of the figure?

Arlecino [84]

So the equation for volume is V=Bh
V is volume, B is area of the base, and h is height
To find the area of the base we need to multiply the height times the base of the triangle and divide by 2
(16*12)/2=96
Now multiply times the height
or 24
The volume of the prism of 2304 mm^3
