Let us assume number of n.

The number is decreased by 15.

Decreasing by 15 means, we need to subtract 15 from that number.

So, it would be come n-15.

Now, it is said that the number would become less than 2.

So, we need to setup an inequality:

n-15 is less than 2.

Adding 15 on both sides, we get

n-15+15 < 2+15

n < 17.

<h3>So, we could say the number would be less than 17.</h3>

A coin is tossed and an eight-sided die numbered 1 through 8 is rolled. Find the probability of tossing a head and then rolling

ratelena [41]

Answer: 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is calculated by number of possible outcomes/ total outcomes

From the question, a coin only has two sides, Head or Tail. Total outcomes is therefore equal to 2

Possible outcome is to toss a head, which is one event

Probability of tossing a head is therefore =1/2

The second part of the question is rolling a die with eight sides.

Here, the die is said to have eight sides, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. Total outcomes is therefore equal to 8

Possible outcome of rolling a number greater than 5 is 3 possibilities, that is rolling 6, 7 and 8.

Pr(rolling > 5) is 3/8

Therefore, Pr ( head; rolling > than 5)

= 1/2 + 3/8

=7/8

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find an approximate value of x

kozerog [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse² =base² + altitude²

(3x + 4)² = (2x + 1)² + (3x)²

{Use (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b²}

(3x)² + 2*3x+4 + 4² = (2x)² + 2*2x*1 + 1² + 9x²

9x² + 24x + 16 = 4x² + 4x + 1 + 9x²

9x² + 24x + 16 = 13x² + 4x + 1

0 = 13x² + 4x + 1 - 9x² - 24x - 16

13x² - 9x² + 4x - 24x +1 - 16 = 0

4x² - 20x - 15 = 0

a = 4 ; b =-20 ; c = -15

D = b² - 4ac = (-20)² - 4*4*(-15) = 400 + 240 = 640

√D = √640 = 25.30

$x=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt{D}}{2a} \ ; \ x=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt{D}}{2a}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{20+25.30}{2*4} \ ; \ x=\dfrac{20-25.30}{2*4}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{45.30}{8} \ ; \ x =\dfrac{-5.30}{8}\\\\$

x = 5 .66 ; x = -0.66

Ignore x = -0.66 as length of a side cannot be negative

Answer : x = 5.66

If $8700 is invested at 3% annual simple interest, how much should be invested at 6% annual simple interest so that the total ye

True [87]

First off, see how much 8700 as principal, yields at 3% APR
that is $\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\
I = Prt\qquad 
\begin{cases}
I=\textit{interest earned}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$8700\\
r=rate\to 3\%\to \frac{3}{100}\to &0.03\\
t=years\to &1
\end{cases}$

it will yield some amount

subtract that amount from 393
the difference is how much the yield will be on the 6% investment
so

$\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\
I = Prt\quad 
\begin{cases}
I=\textit{interest earned}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$8700\\
r=rate\to 3\%\to \frac{3}{100}\to &0.03\\
t=years\to &1
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\implies \boxed{?}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\textit{how much to invest at 6\%?}
\\\\\\
$

$\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\
(393-\boxed{?}) = Prt\quad 
\begin{cases}
I=\textit{interest earned}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$\\
r=rate\to 6\%\to \frac{6}{100}\to &0.06\\
t=years\to &1
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\textit{solve for "P", to see how much should the Principal be}\\\\
\textit{keep in mind that }P+\boxed{?}=393\leftarrow \textit{both yields added}$

I need to find the area.

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

side of square=10+10+20=40 m

area of square=40×40=1600 m²

area of small square=π10²=100 π m²

area of bigger semi circle=1/2 ×π×20²=200 π m²

reqd. area of shaded region=1600-(100π+200π)=1600-300π m²

≈1600-300×3.14

≈1600-942

≈658 m²
