Answer:

x = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

5 (x + 20) = 7 x + 30

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

5 x + 100 = 7 x + 30

Subtract 7 x from both sides:

(5 x - 7 x) + 100 = (7 x - 7 x) + 30

5 x - 7 x = -2 x:

-2 x + 100 = (7 x - 7 x) + 30

7 x - 7 x = 0:

100 - 2 x = 30

Subtract 100 from both sides:

(100 - 100) - 2 x = 30 - 100

100 - 100 = 0:

-2 x = 30 - 100

30 - 100 = -70:

-2 x = -70

Divide both sides of -2 x = -70 by -2:

(-2 x)/(-2) = (-70)/(-2)

(-2)/(-2) = 1:

x = (-70)/(-2)

The gcd of -70 and -2 is -2, so (-70)/(-2) = (-2×35)/(-2×1) = (-2)/(-2)×35 = 35:

Answer: x = 35

The next four batters on a baseball team have hitting percentages of 0.400, 0.325, 0.250, and 0.300, respectively. The team curr
Travka [436]
In order to the fourth player has the opportunity to bat, he/she needs that the three previous players make hit.


The joint probability of all three first batters make a hit is the product of their hitting percentages:


0.400 * 0.325 * 0.25


Pass the decimal numbers to fractions:


4/ 10 * 325/1000 * 25/100 = 32,500 / 1,000,000


Now simplify the fraction (divide numerator and denominator by 2500):


32,500 / 2,500 =   13

1,000,000 / 2,500 = 400


Then, 32,500 / 1,000,000 = 13 / 400


Answer: 13 / 400
