let "a number" = x

a number is divided by 3 => x/3

14 is added to the quotient => (x/3) + 14

The result is 33 => " = 33"

Solve for x

(x/3) + 14 = 33

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side you do the other.

Subtract 14 from both sides

(x/3) + 14 (-14) = 33 (-14)

x/3 = 19

Isolate the x. Multiply 3 to both sides

x/3(3) = 19(3)

x = 19(3)

x = 57

57 is your original number

hope this helps

A home’s value increases at an average rate of 5.5% each year. The current value is $120,000. What function can be used to find

notsponge [240]

So we need to cover 5.5% into a decimal.

0.055 = 5.5%

The house value is 120,000.
So

(1.055x) * (120,000)=

So

f(x)=1.055x * 120,000

Construct the discrete probability distribution for the random variable described. Express the probabilities as simplified fract

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

$P(X = 0) = 0.03125$

$P(X = 1) = 0.15625$

$P(X = 2) = 0.3125$

$P(X = 3) = 0.3125$

$P(X = 4) = 0.15625$

$P(X = 5) = 0.03125$

Step-by-step explanation:

For each toss, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is tails, or it is not. The probability of a toss resulting in tails is independent of any other toss, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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.

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