Answer:

b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

3b + 2(b - 3) = 4

--distributive property-- 2(b - 3) = 2b - 6

3b + 2b - 6 = 4

(add like terms)

5b - 6 = 4

(add 6 to both sides)

5b = 10

(divide both sides by 5 to get b alone)

b = 2

In the United States, 30% of people own a cat and 3% of people own a bird. What is the probability of someone owning both a cat
Alex777 [14]

Answer: 9/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of people own a cat:

P(cat)=30/100=0.3

Probability of people own a bird:

P(bird)=3/100=0.03

Probability of both own a cat and a bird

P(cat and bird)=(30/100) × (3/100)

=90/1000=9/100=9%

Find the range of possible measures of x if each set of expressions represents measures of the sides of a triangle.
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

  • C. x > 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>According to the triangle inequality theorem, any side length is less than the sum of the other two:</u>

  • x < 2x + 1 + x + 4 ⇒ x < 3x + 5 ⇒ 2x > - 5 ⇒ x > - 2.5
  • 2x + 1 < x + x + 4 ⇒ 2x + 1 < 2x + 4 ⇒ 1 < 4, any value of x
  • x + 4 < x + 2x + 1 ⇒ x + 4 < 3x + 1 ⇒ 2x > 3 ⇒ x > 3/2

<u>Common solution of the three inequalities above is:</u>

  • x > 3/2

Correct choice is C

Points m is the midpoint of FG. Can you determine the value of a?
GenaCL600 [577]

Using the midpoint concept, it is found that the value of a is of a = 2.

<h3>What are the coordinates of the points?</h3>

Researching this problem on a search engine, the coordinates are given as follows:

  • F(b + 1, a + 2).
  • M(3,5).
  • (2a, 3b+3).

<h3>What is the midpoint concept?</h3>

The midpoint between two points is the halfway point between them, and is found using the mean of the coordinates.

Hence the following system of equations can be built:

(b + 1 + 2a)/2 = 3.

b + 1 + 2a = 6.

b = 5 - 2a.

(a + 2 + 3b + 3)/2 = 5

a + 3b + 5 = 10

a + 3b = 5.

Since b = 5 - 2a, we have that:

a + 15 - 6a = 5.

5a = 10

a = 10/5

a = 2.

The value of a is of a = 2.
