Setup
45t = 40t + 60
5t = 60
t = 12

car A = 45 * 12 = 540 mi
car B = 40 * 12 = 480 mi

Josh simplified 4x - 8x ÷ 2 and said the answer was -2x. What was josh's error? What should his answer have been?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x - 8x ÷ 2

Under the rules of PEMDAS , division must be performed before subtraction.

Hence

4x - 8x ÷ 2 = 4x - 4x ← dividing - 8x by 2, then

4x - 4x = 0 ← correct answer

Find the area of the shaded region. The graph depicts the standard normal distribution of bone density scores with mean 0 and st

SashulF [63]

Answer:

0.7233

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the area between the z-scores z=-0.95 and z=1.25.

We first find the area to the left of each z-score, and subtract the smaller area from the bigger one.

For the area to the left of z=-0.95, we read -0.9 under 5 from the standard normal distribution table.

This gives P(z<-0.95)=0.1711

Similarly the area to the left of z=1.25 is

P(z<1.25)=0.8944

Now the area between the two z-scores is

P(-0.25<z<1.25)=0.8944-0.1711=0.7233

g A shopping center includes a grocery store and a drug store. One%E2%80%8B afternoon, a total of 200 people visited the shoppin

QveST [7]

Answer:

a) 179 people shopped at the grocery store or the drug store.

b) 21 people shopped at neither the grocery store nor the drug store

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to treat these events as Venn sets.

I am going to say that:

Set A: Shopped at the grocery store

Set B: Shoped at the drug store.

121 shopped at the grocery store:

This means that $A = 121$

91 shopped at the drug store:

This means that $B = 91$

33 shopped at both businesses.

This means that $A \cap B = 33$

a) How many people shopped at the grocery store or the drug store?

This is

$A \cup B = A + B - (A \cap B)$

With the values given in the exercise.

$A \cup B = A + B - (A \cap B) = 121 + 91 - 33 = 179$

179 people shopped at the grocery store or the drug store.

b) How many people shopped at neither the grocery store nor the drug store?

179 of 200 shopped in at least one. So 200 - 179 = 21 shopped at neither.

21 people shopped at neither the grocery store nor the drug store

Find the volume of this object.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

408 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find the volume of each object individually. You first find the volume of the sphere, so you input the radius, which is 3, into the equation which comes out to be 108 cm^3. You then have to find the volume of the cylinder, and since you have the diameter of the cylinder, and you need the radius, and the radius is half of the diameter, you would input 5 into the equation as the radius, since half of 10 is 5. That comes out to be 300 cm^3, so then you add the two volumes together, which is 408 cm^3

I have 1/3 of a pie. You have 1/3 of a pie. Add the pieces of pie together. How much pie do we have?

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To add fractions add the numbers on top to each other and leave the bottom numbers alone if they are the same number.

$\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1+1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$
