Hello!

x/4 - 3x/8 = 5

2x - 3x = 40

-x = 40

x = -40

Good luck! :)

Answer:

x=−40

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x4−3x8=5

14x+−38x=5

(14x+−38x)=5(Combine Like Terms)

−18x=5

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 8/(-1).

(8−1)*(−18x)=(8−1)*(5)

x=−40

Answer:

x=−40

Is there a commutative property of subtraction that states a-b=b-a? investigate and make a conclusion that you justify.

Rom4ik [11]

No is your answer

Assuming that b ≠ a, the answers will not be the same.

For example, (remembering that b ≠ a) let us assume that b = 10, a = 5

10 - 5 = 5

5 - 10 = -5

5 ≠ -5

So the commutative property of subtraction does not work unless in certain cases, in which a = b.

hope this helps

You always need some time to get up after the alarm has rung. You get up from 10 to 20 minutes later, with any time in that inte

Mama L [17]

Answer:

a) P(x<5)=0.

b) E(X)=15.

c) P(8<x<13)=0.3.

d) P=0.216.

e) P=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function:

$f(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{10},\, \, \, 10\leq x\leq 20 } \atop {0, \, \, \, \, \, \, otherwise }} \right.$

a) We calculate the probability that you need less than 5 minutes to get up:

$P(x$

Therefore, the probability is P(x<5)=0.

b) It takes us between 10 and 20 minutes to get up. The expected value is to get up in 15 minutes.

E(X)=15.

c) We calculate the probability that you will need between 8 and 13 minutes:

$P(8\leq x\leq 13)=P(10\leqx\leq 13)\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\int_{10}^{13} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\int_{10}^{13} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{1}{10} \cdot [x]_{10}^{13}\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{1}{10} \cdot (13-10)\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{3}{10}\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=0.3$

Therefore, the probability is P(8<x<13)=0.3.

d) We calculate the probability that you will be late to each of the 9:30am classes next week:

$P(x>14)=\int_{14}^{20} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(x>14)=\int_{14}^{20} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(x>14)=\frac{1}{10} [x]_{14}^{20}\\\\P(x>14)=\frac{6}{10}\\\\P(x>14)=0.6$

You have 9:30am classes three times a week. So, we get:

$P=0.6^3=0.216$

Therefore, the probability is P=0.216.

e) We calculate the probability that you are late to at least one 9am class next week:

$P(x>9.5)=\int_{10}^{20} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(x>9.5)=\int_{10}^{20} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(x>9.5)=\frac{1}{10} [x]_{10}^{20}\\\\P(x>9.5)=1$

Therefore, the probability is P=1.
