We have an equation with parentheses. To make our lives easier, first get rid of the parentheses. We do this by using the distributive property.
It is used like this: a(b + c) = ab + ac.
Use the distributive property on the left-hand side.
3(x - 1) = 6
3x - 3 = 6
Now we have an equation that is easier.
The x variable is being multiplied by 3 and added to -3.
Reverse all of these operations with their inverse operation.
3x - 3 = 6
3x = 9 <--- I got rid of the -3 term by using the inverse of subtraction. Addition.
And I did the same for both sides to keep the equation true.
x = 3 <--- The inverse of multiplication is division.
So, I divided both sides by 3.
So, x is equal to 3.
Answer:
60 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
6x5=30 Since the formula of a triangle is A=b/h 30 divided by 2 equals 15. So, 15x4=60.
A parallelogram has two pairs of opposite sides. A trapezoid only has one pair of parallel sides.
Answer:
a) 2.5 shots
b) 59.4 shots
c) 4.87 shots
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of making the shot = 0.6
Probability of missing the shot = 0.4
a) The expected number of shots until the player misses is given by:
The expected number of shots until the first miss is 2.5
b) The expected number of shots made in 99 attempts is:
He is expected to make 59.4 shots
c) Let "p" be the proportion shots that the player make, the standard deviation for n = 99 shots is:
The standard deviation is 4.87 shots.
