ANTONII [103]2 years ago

Answer:

The number is 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to solve for n.

So the equation would be 2n = |5n-63|

First you'd subtract 5n from each side, that would give you -3n=|-63|

Then you need to divide each side by -3 to get n=21.

                       ~~~~~

To check, you can just plug 21 back into the equation.

2(21) = |5(21) - 63|

42 = |105-63|

42 = |42|

42 = 42

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The length of the field on the drawing is 55 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mark made a scale drawing of a soccer field.

Using a scale of .5 cm=1 m.

The actual length of the field is 110 m.

Now, to find the length of the field on drawing.

Let the length of the field on drawing be x.

As given 0.5 cm is equivalent to 1 m.

Thus, x is equivalent to 110 m.

Now, to get the length of the field on drawing by using cross multiplication method:

\frac{0.5}{1} =\frac{x}{110}

<em>By cross multiplying we get:</em>

⇒ 55=x

⇒ x=55

Therefore, the length of the field on the drawing is 55 cm.

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The probability is 0.694

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the probability of getting a car washed be

P(W) = 72% = 0.72

Let the probability of getting a car vacuumed be

P(V) = ?

Probability of getting car washed and vacuumed is P(W n V) = 50% = 0.5

From Bayes’ theorem

P(V|W) is the probability that a customer gets their car vacuumed given that they are getting it washed

So mathematically;

P(V|W) = P(V n W)/P(W)

= 0.5/0.72 = 0.694
