n - the first number

n + 11 - the second number

2n + 6 - the third number

81 - the sum of three numbers

The equation:

n + (n + 11) + (2n + 6) = 81

n + n + 11 + 2n + 6 = 81     <em>combine like terms</em>

(n + n + 2n) + (11 + 6) = 81

4n + 17 = 81      <em>subtract 17 from both sides</em>

4n = 64       <em>divide both sides by 4</em>

n = 16

the largest of the tree numbers is the third number 2n + 6.

Substitute the value of n:

2(16) + 6 = 32 + 6 = 38

A tank currently holds 5 gallons of water.it is being filled at the rate of 1/4 gallon per minute.how long will it take for the
LenKa [72]

Answer:

16 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the tank already holds 5 gallons of water, you only need to find the number of minutes to fill 4 gallons of water.

Because it fills at a rate of 1/4 gallons a minute, it takes 4 minutes per gallon of water.

Since we are dealing with 4 gallons of water to be filled, we multiply 4 · 4 to get the number of minutes.

4 · 4 = 16

16 minutes

Can someone please help me I have no idea how to do this :(?!
Ainat [17]
Part C:  Treat these two expressions as separate functions.  Then f(x) = 4^(-x) and g(x) = 2^x + 3.  Graph these functions separately on the same set of coordinate axes.  Determine the coordinates of the point of intersection of the two graphs.  That's your "solution," or at least the x-component of it.  To find the y-component, substitute your "solution" into either f(x) or g(x).  Write your final solution in the form (x,y).

Exactly 32% of the students in a school play a sport. Fifty students are randomly selected to determine the probability that, at
faltersainse [42]

A binomial probability density function should be used to represent the probability

<h3>How to determine the type of probability density?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Proportion that plays sport, p = 32%
  • Number of students selected, p = 50
  • The probability, P = (x ≤ 15)

The proportion that plays sport indicates that

68% of the students do not play sport

So, we have two events, which are

  • Play sport
  • Do not play sport

When there are two possible events, then the binomial probability density function should be used
