2Decrease R420 in the ratio 4:7​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Oxana [17]3 years ago
4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers are 4x and 7x. According to the question if each number is increased by 20, the ratio becomes 7 : 9.

Then,

( 4x + 20 ) : ( 7x + 20 ) = 7 : 9

9( 4x + 20 ) = 7( 7x + 20 )

9( 4x ) + 9( 20 ) = 7( 7x ) + 7( 20 )

9( 20 ) - 7( 20 ) = 7( 7x ) - 9( 4x )

2( 20 ) = 49x - 36x

40 = 13 x

40 / 13 = x

Therefore, number are :–

4 x = 4( 40 / 13 ) = 160 / 13

7 x = 7( 40 / 13 ) = 280 / 13

What is the value of x in the equation 7(4x+1)−3x=5x−13?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

7(4x+1)−3x=5x−13

Distribute

28x +7 -3x = 5x -13

Combine like terms

25x+7 = 5x-13

Subtract 5x from each side

25x-5x +7 = -13

20x +7 = -13

Subtract 7 from each side

20x+7-7 = -13-7

20x = -20

Divide by 20

20x/20 = -20/20

x = -1

What is the intial value and rate of change in this graph. please explain step by step!!!!!
WARRIOR [948]

The initial value of the graph is where x = 0. Thus, in this case, the initial value is 12.


The rate of change of the graph is essentially the slope of the graph. In this case, we can use the slope formula:

\dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

  • (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are points on the graph

Let's use two points from the chart to find the slope:

m = \dfrac{30 - 21}{2 - 1} = 9


In this case, the rate of change of the graph is 9.

The waiting time, in hours, between successive speeders spotted by a radar unit is a continuous ran- dom variable with a cumulat
enyata [817]

Answer: 0.5507

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The waiting time, in hours, between successive speeders spotted by a radar unit is a continuous random variable X with a cumulative distribution function

F(x)= \begin{cases}0,& x

Since , the waiting time is in hours , then we can write 12 minutes as \dfrac{12}{60} hour i.e.0.2 hour.

Now, the probability of waiting fewer than 12 minutes between successive speeders is given by :-

P(X

Hence, the required probability = 0.5507
