Answer: x = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

(x / 2) - 8 = 16

1/2x - 8 = 16

x - 16 = 32

x = 32 + 16

x = 48

Answer:

x=48.

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's make an equation out of this.

x

--   -   8   =    16

2

The first thing that we do it add 8 on both sides of the equation. So now we have.

x

--   =  24

2

Up next is to multiply 2 by both sides of the equation so that we get the equation of...

x = 48.

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

A) 1/3200000

B) 19/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage population of graduates = 5

Proportion of graduates from 100 random samples = percentage × number of samples

Proportion of graduates = 0.05 × 100 = 5

Probability of having 5 graduates among the 100 random samples:

P(1 graduate) = possible outcome / total required outcome

P(1 graduate) = (5 / 100) = 1/20

P(5 graduates) = (1/20)^5

P(5 graduates) = 1/3200000

Probability of never being a graduate = (1 - probability of being a graduate)

Probability of never being a graduate = ( 1 - (1/20)) = 19/20

You went shopping last weekend and bought a new shirt. The shirt had an original price of $39.00 but it was on sale for 35% off
balandron [24]

Answer:

$26.87

Step-by-step explanation:

if the shirt was 35% off, then you paid 65% of the cost

that value can be found by:

39 x .65 = 25.35 (this is the amount paid for the shirt)

sales tax of 6% on 25.35 is:

.06 x 25.35 which equals 1.52

25.35 + 1.52 = 26.87

The square of two times an interger is 6 more than ten times the integer. Find the integer
MArishka [77]
So for this problem, you will need to write out the equation before you can solve the question. The square of two times an integer translates into 2x². In a word problem, "is" means =. Therefore, 2x² is equal to the other half of the equation. To write out the other half of the equation, you have to know that "is more than" means addition. So, 10x+6 is the other half of the equation. your final equation becomes 2x²=10x+6. Then solve the equation like in any other problem: 2x²=10x+6 becomes 2x²-10x-6=0, and then factor or use the quadratic formula.
