Hi there!

There are two steps to take when solving this equation, but before we even think about that, let's start by rewriting the equation.

5a + 17 = 47

Step 1) Subtract 17 from both sides.

5a + 17 - 17 = 47 - 17

5a = 30

Step 2) Divide both sides by 5.

5a/5 = 30/5

a = 6

So, your final answer therefore is

a = 6

Hope this helps!

TIP - This method can be used when solving any equation with 1 variable. :D

Merlin wants to make more money selling fake beards this month than he did last month. All black beards in his shop cost the sam

sukhopar [10]

We know that all black beards cost the same money

And all red beards cost $25

And B represents number of black beards

And R represents number of red beards

We have been given the inequality 20B+25R > 350 to show the target for this month.

The above inequality shows that Merlin needs to make more than 350, hence he made 350 last month

Further, it shows that B has been multiplied by 20, hence the black beard's cost was 20

A communications channel transmits the digits 0 and 1. However, due to static, the digit transmitted is incorrectly received wit

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The probability that the message will be wrong when decoded is 0.05792

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

To reduce the chance or error, we transmit 00000 instead of 0 and 11111 instead of 1.

We have 5 bits, message will be corrupt if at least 3 bits are incorrect for the same block.

The digit transmitted is incorrectly received with probability p = 0.2

The probability of receiving a digit correctly is q = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

We want the probability that the message will be wrong when decoded.

This can be written as:

$P(X\geq3) =P(X=3)+P(X=4)+P(X=5)\\P(X\geq3) =\frac{5!}{3!2!}(0.2)^3(0.8)^{2}+\frac{5!}{4!1!}(0.2)^4(0.8)^{1}+\frac{5!}{5!}(0.2)^5(0.8)^0\\P(X\geq3) =0.05792$

Hence, the probability that the message will be wrong when decoded is 0.05792
