Answer:

x = -3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we create the equation.

Let x = the unknown number

7x-1 = 5x - 8

Add 8 to both sides

7x + 7 = 5x

Subtract 7x

7 = -2x

Divide by 2

-7/2 = x

-3.5 = x

7x - 1 = 5x - 8
Minus 5x on each side
2x -1 = -8
Plus 1 on each side
2x = -7
Divide by 2 on each side
x = -7/2

The number is most likely -7/2

mestny [16]

Answer:

The probability that an individual has the disease and has a positive test result is:

9.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of a true positive result for a test of syphilis = 0.98 or 98%

Probability of a false negative result for a test of syphilis = 0.02 or 2% (100 - 98)

Probability of a true negative result for a test of syphilis = 0.9 or 90%

Probability of a false negative result for a test of syphilis = 0.1 or 10% (100 - 90)

Therefore, the probability that an individual has the disease and has a positive test result = 0.98 * 0.1 = 0.098 = 9.8%
