Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
Put 2 where x is and see if you get a true statement.
1/2(2) -4 = 5
1 -4 = 5
-3 = 5 . . . . . . False
2 is not a solution to the equation.
__
The solution is x=18.
-- There are 12 total bottles in the box. 8 of them are grey.
-- The probability of getting a grey bottle on the first draw is 8/12 .
-- Now there are 11 bottles left in the box, and 7 of them are grey
-- The probability of getting a grey bottle on the second draw is 7/11 .
-- The probability of both events happening is
(8/12) · (7/11) = 56/132 = 14/33 = about 42.4% (rounded)
-9 because 2-5 is -3 and -3 times 2 is -6 and -6 minus 3 is -9
If the company performs badly, or there's a perception it does so, then the stock's value will go down and you'll lose money. The only way to earn money from stocks is if the company is able to be innovative and survive the competition. The worst case scenario is that you lose all your money if the company goes bankrupt.
To reduce the risk, you should diversify your investments so that you invest in multiple companies along multiple sectors of the economy. This spreads out the risk so that if one company fails, then its unlikely they all fail (assuming there isn't some catastrophic event in the market). Alternatively, you can invest with mutual funds or index funds to let other people/entities invest your money with a range of diverse companies.
If unrounded the answer would be 607.5 men but if rounded it would be 608 men
