-2[2.2x-3.3]=-6.6
[2.2x-3.3]=-6.6 /-2
[2.2x-3.3]=3.3
We have two equations:
1)
2.2x-3.3=3.3
2.2x=3.3+3.3
2.2x=6.6
x=6.6/2.2
x=3

2)
2.2x-3.3=-3.3
2.2x=-3.3+3.3
2.2x=0
x=0/2.2
x=0

Answer: we have two solutions: x=0 and x=3.

-2|2.2x - 3.3| = -6.6. From it: |2.2x - 3.3| = 3.3. We have 2 variants: 1) 2.2x - 3.3 = -3.3. Then 2.2x = -3.3 + 3.3, so 2.2x = 0 => x = 0. 2) 2.2x - 3.3 = 3.3. Then 2.2x = 3.3 + 3.3, so 2.2x = 6.6 => x = 3. Answer: 0; 3.

Taylor surveys students in one grade level who own at least one pet. She finds that 50% of the students surveyed own 2 pets, 3 s

Llana [10]

First, we need to work out the total number of students who were being surveyed.

We know that half of the students has two pets. The rest of the students make up the other half. So, we have 3 students + 2 students + 8 students = 13 students that make half of the sample population

That means total number of students being surveyed is 13+13=26 students

Then we work out the probability
P(One pet) = 8/26 = 4/13
P(Two pets) = 1/2
P(Three pets) = 3/26
P( Four pets) = 2/26 = 1/13

The probability distribution is shown in the table below. Let $x$ be the number of pets and $P(X=x)$ is the probability of owning the number of pets

Car mart pays $110,000 rent each year for its two-story building. the space in this building is occupied by five departments as

Anvisha [2.4K]

First floor:

paint department 1,575 square feet

space engine department 2,925 square feet

Total = 4,500 square feet

Second floor:

space window department 1,845 square feet

electrical department 765 square feet

accessory department 1,890 square feet

Total = 4,500 square feet

Since 70% is allocated to the 1st floor, therefore the floor is receiving:

First floor expense = $110,000 * 0.70 = $77,000

Second floor expense = $110,000 - $77,000 = $33,000

The expense for each department is the proportion on the total expense per floor.

First floor:

paint department = (1575/4500) * 77,000 = $26,950

space engine department = 77,000 – 26,950 = $50,050

Second floor:

space window department = (1845/4500) * 33,000 = $13,530

electrical department = (765/4500) * 33,000 = $5,610

accessory department = 33,000 – 13530 – 5610 = $13,860
