Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ \frac{x}{3}=\frac{x+2}{2}

* These are two equivalent fractions

  we can solve by using cross-multiplication way

  that means we multiply x by 2 and multiply (x + 2) by 3

∴ 2(x) = 3(x + 2)

* Take care about the multiplication of 3(x + 2) you must

  multiply 3 by x and also multiply 3 by 2

∴ 2x = 3x + 6

* Now lets start to collect the like terms

∴ 2x - 3x = 6

∴ -x = 6

* Divide the both sides by -1

∴ x = -6

x = -3/2 (Or) x = -1.5

First apply the rule a/a = 1

2/2 = 1

x/3 = x +1

Multiply both sides by 3

(x/3 * 3) = (x * 3) + (1 * 3)

Simplify

x = 3x + 3

Subtract 3x from both sides

(x - 3x) = (3x + 3 - 3x)

Simplify

-2x = 3

Divide both sides by -2

(-2x / -2) = (3 / -2)

Simplify

x = -3/2

(Decimal: x = -1.5)

Suppose a bag contains 4 white chips and 6 black chips. What is the probability of randomly choosing a white chip, not replacing
Marysya12 [62]
There are 10 chips altogether. 4 of them are white.
4/10 is the chance of lifting out a white chip
There are 3 of them left and 9 chips altogehter.
4/10 * 3/9
12/90
4/30
2/15

Comment
(my edit) it is not that 2/15 is wrong (although it is not entirely right).
1/3 is the correct answer if you assume that what happened during the first draw has nothing to do with what will happen on the second. It is like saying if you throw 11 heads in a row with a fair coin, what are the chances of throwing a heads on the 12th throw? The answer is 1/2. That is the same kind of question you have asked.

The two of us who have responded have really responded to what are the chances of drawing 2 white chips. The question really does not restrict us in a way that prevents us from saying that. I'll stick with
B <<<< answer
but I think it would be nice if the writer of the question made it clear that 1/3 should be the proper answer. I am glad you came back and posted the right answer. It makes me think. 

The semi right answer is B <<<<---- 

If my reasoning bothers anybody, I'll reedit again. I'm only leaving it because sometimes a mistake is more instructive than a given answer.

What is the graph of y=-(x-2)^3-5
natulia [17]
When x=0,
y=-(0-2)^3-5
y=3

When y=0,
(x-2)^3=5
x-2= +/- 5^1/3
x= +/- 5^1/3 +2
x= 3.70997 or x=0.29002

To find the turning point at y, substitute the information that you have found above.

y=-(3.70997-2)^3-5
y=-9.99994

Find the mid-point next as mid-point is also the turning point.

(3.70997+0.29002)÷2=1.999995

Hence, Turning point is (1.999995, 9.99994)

Plot a graph using turning point, y value and the 2-x values.
