Answer:

<h2>m =  \frac{31}{7}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(m - 3) + 6 = 2(m - 5)

<u>Expand the terms in the bracket</u>

That's

- 5m + 15 + 6 = 2m - 10

- 5m + 21 = 2m - 10

<u>Subtract 2m from both sides</u>

- 5m - 2m + 21 = 2m - 2m - 10

- 7m + 21 = - 10

<u>Subtract 21 from both sides</u>

That's

- 7m + 21 - 21 = - 10 - 31

- 7m = - 31

<u>Divide both sides by - 7</u>

We have the final answer as

<h3>m =  \frac{31}{7}</h3>

Hope this helps you

Consider the experiment of tossing a fair coin 3 times. For each coin, the possible outcomes are heads or tails.(a) List the equ

T - T - T

b)

0.125 = 12.5% probability that all three coins come up heads.

0.875 = 87.5% probability that there will be at least one tail.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Question a:

Considering H for heads, T for tails:

H - H - H

H - H - T

H - T - H

H - T - T

T - H - H

T - H - T

T - T - H

T - T - T

(b) What is the probability that all three coins come up heads?

One outcome(H - H - H) out of 8, so:

p = \frac{1}{8} = 0.125

0.125 = 12.5% probability that all three coins come up heads.

Notice that the complement of the event "3 heads" is "at least one tail." Use this information to compute the probability that there will be at least one tail.

Sum of these probabilities is 100%, so:

1 - 0.125 = 0.875

0.875 = 87.5% probability that there will be at least one tail.

A young boy has 40 total pets. He has two different types of pets. He has cats and penguins. The total number of the heads of hi
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

He has 30 penguins and 10 cats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the variables:

C =  number of cats.

P = number of penguins.

We know that he has a total of 40 pets, then:

C + P = 40

We also know that the total heads (40 heads, each animal has one) plus the number of wings (P*2, each penguin has 2) is equal to the number of feet of his pets (4*C + 2*P, because each cat has 4 paws, and each penguin has 2)

Then we have the equation:

40 + 2*P = 4*C + 2*P

Notice that in the second equation we have the term 2*P in both sides of the equation, then we can just subtract 2*P in both sides to get:

(40 + 2*P) - 2*P = 4*C + 2*P - 2*P

40 = 4*C

Now with this, we can find the value of C.

40/4 = C = 10

Then he has 10 cats.

Now we can replace this in the equation:

P + C = 40

to find the value of P

P + 10 = 40

P = 40 - 10 = 30

P = 30

He has 30 penguins.
