Expand the left hand side of the equation first. this is easy since two thirds of six is four and two thirds or thirty is twenty.
4x + 20 = x + 5(x+4) - 2x
expand the right hand side :
4x + 20 = x + 5x + 20 -2x

Collect up all the x terms on the right hand side: 4x + 20 = x + 5x - 2x + 20
So the total number of "x" 's on the right hand side is 1 + 5 -2 = 4
4x + 20 = 4x + 20
Hey ! look at that ! you've got the same thing on both sides of the equation ! this means that it doesn't matter what value x is, the equation works for ALL values of x . ( ANSWER)

The probability that a single radar station will detect an enemy plane is 0.65. (a) How many such stations are required to be 98

Inga [223]

Answer:

4 stations

Step-by-step explanation:

If we need to be at least 98% certain that an enemy plane flying over will be detected by at least one station, we must ensure that there is at most a 2% chance that no radar stations detect the plane.

The probability that a single radar station does not detect the plane is 0.35.

For n radar stations:

$P=0.02=0.35^n\\n=\frac{log(0.02)}{log(0.35)}\\n=3.73$
