Answer:

Write the equation and go backwards.

N - 15 x -4 = -48

Instead of multiply divide and add instead of subtract

-48/-4=12

12+15=27

check if 27 is correct. 27-15=12 x -4 = -48

27 is your number. Hope this helps

Answer:

I'm not 100% sure but I believe the answer is 27

because -48/-4=12

According to the American Lung Association, 7% of the population has lung disease. Of those having lung disease, 90% are smokers
postnew [5]

Answer:

Probability that a smoker has lung disease = 0.2132

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L = event that % of population having lung disease, P(L) = 0.07

So,% of population not having lung disease, P(L') = 1 - P(L) = 1 - 0.07 = 0.93

S = event that person is smoker

% of population that are smokers given they are having lung disease, P(S/L) = 0.90

% of population that are smokers given they are not having lung disease, P(S/L') = 0.25

We know that, conditional probability formula is given by;

                        P(S/L) = \frac{P(S\bigcap L)}{P(L)}  

                        P(S\bigcap L) = P(S/L) * P(L)

                                      = 0.90 * 0.07 = 0.063

So,  P(S\bigcap L) = 0.063 .

Now, probability that a smoker has lung disease is given by = P(L/S)

      P(L/S) = \frac{P(S\bigcap L)}{P(S)}

P(S) = P(S/L) * P(L) + P(S/L') * P(L')

       = 0.90 * 0.07 + 0.25 * 0.93 = 0.2955

Therefore, P(L/S) = \frac{0.063}{0.2955} = 0.2132

Hence, probability that a smoker has lung disease is 0.2132 .

A landscaper has enough cement to make a patio with an area of 150 Sq ft. The homeowner wants the length of the patio to be 6 ft
Natasha_Volkova [10]
A=lw=150\\l=w+6\\(w+6)w=150\\w^2+6w=150\\w^2+6w-150=0\\w=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\w=\frac{-(6)+-\sqrt{(6)^2-4(1)(-150)}}{2(1)}\\w=\frac{-6+-\sqrt{36+600}}{2}\\w=\frac{-6+-\sqrt{636}}{2}\\w=\frac{-6+-2\sqrt{159}}{2}\\w=-3+-\sqrt{159}>0\\w=-3+\sqrt{159}\\\\l=(-3+\sqrt{159})+6\\l=3+\sqrt{159}

Width = -3 + sqrt(159)
Length = 3 + sqrt(159)

The cost of admission to the State Fair changed from $8.50 last year to $10.00 this year. Round to the nearest tenth. Show your
seropon [69]

Answer:

Percent increase is 17.6%

We still have to pay 7.50 with the coupon

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent increase = (new- original)/original *100%

                             = (10-8.5)/8.5 * 100%

                             = 1.5/8.5 * 100%

                             = 17.6470588%

Round to the nearest tenth

                                 17.6%

This is an increase since the cost went up.

If we have 25% off, we still have to pay (100%-25%) = 75%

10 *.75 = 7.50

We still have to pay 7.50 with the coupon
