For the equation -2(x+1) = 8, Caitlin distributes the 2 to get, -2x +2 = 8. Then she subtracts the 2 from both sides to get -2x

= 6. Lastly she divides both sides by -2 to get x =-3. Did Caitlin use the distributive property correctly?(Site 2)

Original price = $20

Markup percentage = 65

Markup amount = 0

What is the profit?

65% of 20 = $12

Therefore Markup amount = $12

Profit = Original price + markup amount
= $20 + $12
= $32

Suppose you flip 3 quarters, one at a time. What is the probability that you will
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The probability of the combination {H, T and H} is 0.125.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space of flipping a quarter is:

S = {H and T}

The probability of both outcomes is same, i.e. P (H) = P (T) = 0.50.

It is provided that three quarters are flipped one at a time.

The outcomes of all the three quarters are independent of each other.

Compute the probability of the combination {H, T and H} as follows:

P(\text{H},\text{T and H}) = P(\text{H})\times P(\text{T})\times P(\text{H})

                        =0.50\times 0.50\times 0.50\\=0.125

Thus, the probability of the combination {H, T and H} is 0.125.

Find the measure of each numbered angle for each figure
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Angle 1 is 58. Angle 2 is 32.

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of Angle ACB is 90 because C is on the circle and A and B connect to form a diameter of the circle. So, Angle 1 and Angle 2 add up to 90 (total degrees in triangle - 90). Now you can add the expressions the question gave for Angle 1 and Angle 2, and you get 7x + 6. So you have the equation 7x + 6 = 90. Solve the equation and you get x = 12. Now you can plug in that value for x into the expressions for Angles 1 and 2 to find their measures.
