Simplify the expression b - 7 + b - 8

Mathematics
1 answer:
natulia [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

2b - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

b - 7 + b - 8  

You combined the two b's correctly, but didn't combine the two constants, -7 and -8.  

Those combine to   -7 + (-8)  = -7 - 8  = -15,  so the final answer is

2b - 15

you have -7 and are subtracting 8 more, so you are moving 8 units left on the number line, so it has to get more negative.

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINIEST!!!
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

let :

y : the length  , x : the width   , A : the area, x and y positifs numbers (y>x)

you have the system : xy=180....(*)

                                    y=x+8...(**)

put the value for y by (**) in to(*) : (x+8)x=180

x²+8x-180 =0......a=1   b=8    c = -180

∆ = b²- 4ac

∆ = 8²- 4(1)(-180)=384=28²

X1 = ( -b - √∆)/2a  = (-8-28)/2 = -15 refused

X2= ( -b + √∆)/2a  = (-8+28)/2 = 10

x=10   but : y=x+8

                 y = 10+8 =18

The length of the rectangle is...18...cm.

The width of the rectangle is...10...cm.

The diameters of ball bearings are distributed normally. The mean diameter is 52 millimeters and the standard deviation is 4 mil
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

0.1057

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using z score formula.

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score = 57mm

μ is the population mean = 52mm

σ is the population standard deviation = 4mm

z = 57 - 52/4

z = 1.25

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<57) = 0.89435

P(x>57) = 1 - P(x<57)

1 - 0.89435

= 0.10565

Approximately = 0.1057

The probability that the diameter of a selected bearing is greater than 57 millimeters is 0.1057
