-5x - 8 = -18
-5x - 8 + 8 = -18 + 8
-5x = -10
-5x / (-5) = -10 / (-5)
x = 2

If it takes 4 gallons of gas to go 92 miles, how many can be driven in 6 gallons

saveliy_v [14]

138 because 92/4 equals 23 which is the miles per gallon, then you multiply that by 6<span />

Suppose p(a) = 0.40 and p(a 

Between the probability of union and intersection, it's not clear what you're supposed to compute. (I would guess it's the probability of union.) But we do know that

$P(A\cup B)+P(A\cap B)=P(A)+P(B)$

For parts (a) and (b), you're given everything you need to determine $P(B)$ .

For part (c), if $A$ and $B$ are mutually exclusive, then $P(A\cap B)=0$ , so $P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)$ . If the given probability is $P(A\cup B)=0.55$ , then you can find $P(B)=0.15$ . But if this given probability is for the intersection, finding $P(B)$ is impossible.

For part (d), if $A$ and $B$ are independent, then $P(A\cap B)=P(A)\cdot P(B)$ .

One of your friends gives you $10 for a charity walkathon. Another friend gives you an amount per mile. After 5 miles, you have

irinina [24]

One of your friends gives you $10 for a charity walkathon -- this is your beginning amount.
Another friend gives you an amount per mile -- you will to calculate this value.
After 5 miles, you have raised $13.50 total --
-- Since one friend gave you $10.00, subtract this from the $13.50 to give you the amount by walking the 5 miles
-- $10.00 - $13.50 = $3.50
-- Since you walked 5 miles, divide $3.50 by 5 to give you $0.70 per mile earned.

So, an equation that represents the amount of money earned is: y = $0.70x+$10.00.
This is in slope-intercept form; the slope is $0.70 and represents the amount of money earned per mile and the intercept is $10.00 and represents the initial amount of money that you were given.
