Combine like terms to simplify the expression below 5y-8x-y+12x

Mathematics
1 answer:
AlladinOne [14]3 years ago

There are like terms 5y and y. Since there is a subtraction sign in front of y, we would subtract that from 5y, which becomes 4y. 8x and 12x are also like terms (x). Since 12x has an addition sign in front, indicating it's positive, we would add it to -8x (which is negative b/c of the subtraction sign in front). 12x + -8x = 4x. The expression is 4y + 4x. 

Hope this helps!

Accuracy in taking orders at a drive-through window is important for fast-food chains. Periodically, QSR Magazine publishes "The
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

a) 0.7412 = 74.12% probability that all the three orders will be filled correctly.

b) 0.0009 = 0.09% probability that none of the three will be filled correctly

c) 0.0245 = 2.45% probability that at least one of the three will be filled correctly.

d) 0.9991 = 99.91% probability that at least one of the three will be filled correctly

e) 0.0082 = 0.82% probability that only your order will be filled correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

For each order, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is filled correctly, or it is not. Orders are independent. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

The percentage of orders filled correctly at Burger King was approximately 90.5%.

This means that p = 0.905

You and 2 friends:

So 3 people in total, which means that n = 3

a. What is the probability that all the three orders will be filled correctly?

This is P(X = 3).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.905)^{3}.(0.095)^{0} = 0.7412

0.7412 = 74.12% probability that all the three orders will be filled correctly.

b. What is the probability that none of the three will be filled correctly?

This is P(X = 0).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.905)^{0}.(0.095)^{3} = 0.0009

0.0009 = 0.09% probability that none of the three will be filled correctly.

c. What is the probability that one of the three will be filled correctly?

This is P(X = 1).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{3,1}.(0.905)^{1}.(0.095)^{2} = 0.0245

0.0245 = 2.45% probability that at least one of the three will be filled correctly.

d. What is the probability that at least one of the three will be filled correctly?

This is

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

With what we found in b:

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0009 = 0.9991

0.9991 = 99.91% probability that at least one of the three will be filled correctly.

e. What is the probability that only your order will be filled correctly?

Yours correctly with 90.5% probability, the other 2 wrong, each with 9.5% probability. So

p = 0.905*0.095*0.095 = 0.0082

0.0082 = 0.82% probability that only your order will be filled correctly

If you place a 10-foot ladder against the top of a 6-foot building, how many feet will the bottom of the ladder be from the bott
Anika [276]

Answer: 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a right triangle and label the sides using the given information. (Drawing below) Use pythagorean theorem to find the missing length:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(building)^2 + (missing piece)^2 = (ladder)^2

6^2 + x^2 = 10^2

36 + x^2 = 100. subtract 36

x^2 = 64. square root of both sides

x = 8

Awnser please :((((((((((((((((((((
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

I believe it is: 6n+8+7y+4m

Step-by-step explanation:

You can't do anything about the numbers with variables afterwards, so you just list those and you just add and subtract the numbers without variables.  Since the top and bottom are the same, you just list it once.  Sorry, not the best explanation.  Please let me know if I am wrong.  It's been a while since I had to any type of algebra.
