The equation will be 2x + 7 = 3x

subtract 2x from bothsides, you get 7 = x

so x is equal to 7

EDITED

sorry, i didnt read the sum part, so my answer is considered wrong ahaha

2(x+7) equals 3x

distribute, you get 2x+14=3x

then subtract 2x,

the answer for x is 14

X= in the number searched
2(x+7)= is the twice the sum of this number and seven.
3x= is three times the number

Because the twice the sum of a number and seven is three times the number, we suggest the following equation:

2(x+7)=3x
2x+14=3x
3x-2x=14
x=14

Answer: the number is 14.

Answer:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

Step-by-step explanation:

For point 1:

At this point we make up triangles for the first one makes up by 3 matches figure 2 make up by 5 matches figure 3 makes up by 7 matches.

For point 2:

$4 \ \ 5\ \ 6\ \ 7\ \ 8$ you can try to

$9 \ \ 11\ \ 13 \ \ 15 \ \ 17$ draw to find values

For point 3:

number of matches $= 1+2 \times \ figure\ number\\\\$

For point 4:

$1+2 \times 9=19 \ \ (use \ law \ of\ (iii)) \\\\1+2 \times 17=35$

A local animal rescue organization receives an average of 0.55 rescue calls per hour. Use the Poisson distribution to find the p

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

B) 0.894

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

A local animal rescue organization receives an average of 0.55 rescue calls per hour.

This means that $\mu = 0.55$

Probability that during a randomly selected hour, the organization will receive fewer than two calls.

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

In which

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.55}*(0.55)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.577$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.55}*(0.55)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.317$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.577 + 0.317 = 0.894$
