Select the correct answer.

A mistake was made in the steps shown to simplify the expression.

Which step includes the mistake?

9/2 + 3(4-1) -7 + 2³

Step 1: 9/2 + 3(3) -7 + 2³

Step 2: 9/2 + 3(3) -7 + 8

Step 3: 15/2 (3) -7 + 8

Step 4: 45/2 -7 + 8

Step 5: 31/2 + 8

Step 6: 47/2

A. Step 4

B. Step 3

C. Step 1

D. Step 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine where the mistake occurred let's solve the expression ourselves and compare with answer L's given.

9/2 + 3(4-1) -7 + 2³

Using BODMAS = Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction.

Step 1: solve for the value in the bracket. 4-1 =3

9/2 + 3(3) -7 + 2³

Step 2: find the value of 2³

2³ = 2×2×2 = 8

9/2 + 3(3) -7 + 8

Step 3: add 9/2 and 3(3)

9/2 + 3(3) = 9/2 + 9 = (9+18)/2

= 27/2 = (9/2)(3)

9/2 (3) -7 + 8

Step 4: open the bracket

27/2 -7 + 8

Step 5: subtract 7 from 27/2

= (27-14)/2 = 13/2

13/2 + 8

Step 6: add 13/2 and 8

13/2 + 8 = (13+16)/2 = 29/2

A fair coin is tossed three times in succession. The set of equally likely outcomes is StartSet HHH comma HHT comma HTH comma TH
liq [111]

The probability of getting exactly zero tails is 1/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a fair coin is tossed three time, the set of equally likely outcomes is:

S= {HHH,HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}

n(S)=8

Let A be the event that there are exactly zero tails which means there are all heads

Then

A= {HHH}

n(A)=1

P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}\\=\frac{1}{8}

The probability of getting exactly zero tails is 1/8.

I WILL MARK AS BRAINLIST The quantities x and y are proportional Find the constant of proportionality (r) in the equation y=rx
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that x and y are proportional and the equation relating them is

y = rx ← r is the constant of proportionality

To find r use any ordered pair from the table

Using x = 9, y = 4.5 , then

4.5 = 9r ( divide both sides by 9 )

\frac{4.5}{9} = r , that is

r = \frac{1}{2}

14.4x - 28.2 &gt; 36.6
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

x > 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality :

14.4x - 28.2 > 36.6

Collect like terms

14.4x > 36.6 + 28.2

14.4x > 64.8

Divide both sides by 14.4

x > 64.8 / 14.4

x > 4.5
