Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(-2x-8)=-48

-4 * -2x= 8x

-4 * -8= -32

8x-32= -48

collect like terms

8x= -48 +32

8x = -16

Divide both sides by 8

A shipment of 40 fancy calculators contains 3 defective units. What is the probability if a college bookstore buys 20 calculator

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

38.46%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no names or marking that can make the calculator look different, so the order is not important. Then we should use a combination to solve this problem.

There are 40 calculators in one shipment, 37 of them good items and 3 of them are defect items. We need to choose 19 good calculators and 1 defect calculator. The number of ways to do that will be:

$\frac{37}{19}$ * $\frac{3}{1}$ = 37! $\frac{37!}{19!(37-19!)} * \frac{3!}{1!(3-1)!}$ = 53017895700

The number of possible ways to choose 20 calculators out of 40 calculators will be:

$\frac{40}{20}$ = $\frac{40!}{20!(40-20!)}$ =137846528820

The chance will be: 53017895700/ 137846528820 = 0.3846= 38.46%

A puzzle contains a triangular piece with a base of 3 in. and a height of 4 in. A manufacturer wants to make 80 puzzles. Find th

kari74 [83]

Since the base is 3 inches and the height is 4 inches, as well as the area of a triangle being base*height/2, we get 3*4/2=6 in. for each triangle. Since we need 20 pieces for each puzzle, we multiply 6 by 20 to get 120. In addition, since 80 puzzles are needed, with 20 pieces for each puzzle, we have 120 inches for each puzzle and 120*80 = 9600 square inches of wood used

Please help me with the problem

mixas84 [53]

Let's see what we're working on here

$\frac{1}{2} - 2(m) =?$
? = 0
$Simplify this →$ $\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}2y} - 2(m) = ?$

$\frac{2(m)(2)}{2}$

$\frac{1 - 4(m)}{2} = ?$

$\frac{1 - 4(m)}{2} = 2$

$-4(m) + 1 = 0$
Subtract ( - )the number 1 from each of your sides on this part

4(m) = 1
Multiply( ×) the number -1 to your sides for this part of the equation

Therefore, the value of m is $\frac{1}{4}$
$m = \frac{1}{4}$
