Answer:

n = 5, n = -7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2n + 5 = l

n - 4 = w

A = l × w = 15

(2n + 5)(n-4) = 15

2n^2 - 8n + 5n - 20 = 15

2n^2 -3n - 35 = 0

(2n + 7)(n - 5) = 0

2n + 7 = 0 or n - 5 = 0

n = -7/2 or n = 5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that on a six-question multiple-choice test there are five possible answers for each question, of which one is correct and four are incorrect

By mere guessing probability for choosing correct answer = p = 0.2

also each question is independent of the other

Hence if X is the number of correct questions then

X is binomial with p = 0.2 and n = 6

a) being correct on three questions,

= $P(X=3) = 0.08192$

(b) being correct on four questions,

= $P(X=4) = 0.01536$

(c) being correct on all six questions

= $P(x=6) = 0.000064$

Write an inequality for the given statement: The sum of x and 25 is less than 75.

Kaylis [27]

That statement would be best express by " x + 25 < 75 ". Since the statement says the sum of x and 25, thus, it will be x + 25. Then it also states that the sum is less than 75, so the best expression would be " < 75".
