The error is in the second step they subtracted 3 from both sides but it was a 3x, which you can not do.
Correction.
9x+18+3x=1
12x+18=1
12x=-17
x=-17/12

Answer:

error is in second step.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is 9x + 18 + 3x = 1

Now we will solve this equation and compare it with the given answer.

9x + 18 + 3x = 1

12x + 18 = 1

12x = (-17)

x = $(\frac{-17}{12})$

Now we find the error is in second step.

If h(x) = x – 7 and g(x) = x2, which expression is equivalent to (G ▪ H) (5)? (5 – 7)2 (5)2 – 7 (5)2(5 – 7) (5 – 7)x2

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The correct answer is (5 - 7)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, start with the outermost equation g(x).

g(x) = x^2

Now put the next equation (h(x)) in for x in this equation.

(G ▪ H)(x) = (x - 7)^2

Now, put the number in for x in the equation given.

(G ▪ H)(x) = (5 - 7)^2

Evaluate the variable expression when a=-4, b=2, c=-3, and d =4. b-3a/bc^2-d

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Therefore, the variable expression when a=-4, b=2, c=-3, and d =4 is

$\dfrac{b-3a}{bc^{2}-d}=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate:

$\dfrac{b-3a}{bc^{2}-d}$

When a=-4, b=2, c=-3, and d =4

Solution:

Substitute, a=-4, b=2, c=-3, and d =4 in above expression we get

$\dfrac{b-3a}{bc^{2}-d}=\dfrac{2-3(-4)}{2(-3)^{2}-4}\\\\=\dfrac{2+12}{18-4}\\\\$

$\dfrac{b-3a}{bc^{2}-d}=\dfrac{14}{14}=1$

Therefore, the variable expression when a=-4, b=2, c=-3, and d =4 is

$\dfrac{b-3a}{bc^{2}-d}=1$

What is the measure of b if a=20 and c=29. using the pythagorean theorem

kicyunya [14]

Since a^2+b^2=c^2 becomes 20^2+b^2=29^2, we solve for b:

400+b^2=841

b^2=441

b=21

So the length of b is 21 units.

Hope this helped!

In a lottery game, a player picks six numbers from 1 to 27. If the player matches all six numbers, they win 40,000 dollars. Othe

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

We conclude that expected value of this game is -0.865$.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in a lottery game, a player picks six numbers from 1 to 27.

We know that

$C_6^{27}=296010$

As there is only one advantageous combination, we conclude that the number of non-winning combinations is 296009.

He can win 40,000 dollars.

We calculate:

$E(X)=\frac{1}{296010}\cdot 40000\$- \frac{296009}{296010}\cdot 1\$\\\\E(X)=\frac{40000-296009}{296010}\, \$\\\\E(X)=-0.865\, \$$

We conclude that expected value of this game is -0.865$.
