Answer:
Length 37 cm, width 25 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original dimensions be length x and width x - 12 cms.
The new dimensions will be length (x - 2) and width (x - 12 - 2) = x-14 cm.
So , from the areas, we have:
x(x - 12) - (x - 2)(x - 14) = 120
x^2 - 12x - (x^2 - 16x + 28) = 120
-12x + 16x - 28 = 120
4x = 148
x = 37 cms
So the length was 37 cm and the width was 37-12 = 25 cm.
Answer:
b) -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Well your at 2 and going to -2 so on a number line you be going back or left.
Going two left gets you to zero and going two more get you -2. So in total you went back four and that be represented as -4.
Answer:

1) 
2) 
We can find the individual probabilities and we got:



And the sum of the 3 values 0.6923+0.2307+0.0770= 1 so then we satisfy all the conditions and we can conclude that f(x) is a probability distribution.



Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have the following density function:

In order to satisfty that this function is a probability mass function we need to check two conditions:
1) 
2) 
We can find the individual probabilities and we got:



And the sum of the 3 values 0.6923+0.2307+0.0770= 1 so then we satisfy all the conditions and we can conclude that f(x) is a probability distribution.
And if we want to find the following probabilities:



Set both y’s equal to each other.
2x-1 = 3x+4
2x-3x = 4-(-1)
-x = 5
x = -5
Plug x = -5 into any of the given equation. I will use the first one as an example.
y = 2x-1
y = 2(-5)-1
y = -11
Answer: (-5, -11)
