Answer:

-14

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x/2-5=-12

1/2x+-5=-12

1/2x-5=-12

Step 2: Add 5 to both sides.

1/2x-5+5=-12+5

1/2x=-7

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 2.

2*(1/2x)=(2)*(-7)

x=-14

Answer:

-14

Step-by-step explanation:

x/2 = -12 + 5 << add both sides by 5

x/2 = -7 << Combine -12 + 5

x = -14 << Multiply both sides by 2

This revolves around the idea of inverse operations

To get x by itself we needed to bring the other numbers to the other side of the equation.

Inverse operations is bring the numbers to the other side by doing the opposite operation it shows.

ex: if the number is +5 on one side, it will be -5 on the other

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!

stepladder [879]

Answer:

C). 0.83193

Step-by-step explanation:

There are total of 90 passengers of which 27 are for business.

The probability of passengers for business = 27/90

The probability of passengers for business p = 0.3

The probability of passengers not for business q = 1-The probability of passengers for business

= 1-0.3

= 0.7

Random sample of 5 passenger, probability of at least one business passenger = 1 - probability of no business passenger

probability of no business passenger

= 5C0(0.3)^0 * (0.7)^5

= 1 *1*0.16807

= 0.16807

probability of at least one business passenger = 1 - probability of no business passenger

= 1-0.16807

=0.83193

Harrizon [31]

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 2 sides together. If the sum of greater than the length of the 3rd side for all 3 options it can form a right triangle if it doesn’t than it can’t:

9 + 12 = 21 which is not greater than the 3rd side length of 21 so this cannot form a right triangle.
