Answer:

Simplifying

(5n + -3) + -1(-2n + 7) = 0

Reorder the terms:

(-3 + 5n) + -1(-2n + 7) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (-3 + 5n)

-3 + 5n + -1(-2n + 7) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-3 + 5n + -1(7 + -2n) = 0

-3 + 5n + (7 * -1 + -2n * -1) = 0

-3 + 5n + (-7 + 2n) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-3 + -7 + 5n + 2n = 0

Combine like terms: -3 + -7 = -10

-10 + 5n + 2n = 0

Combine like terms: 5n + 2n = 7n

-10 + 7n = 0

Solving

-10 + 7n = 0

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '10' to each side of the equation.

-10 + 10 + 7n = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0

0 + 7n = 0 + 10

7n = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: 0 + 10 = 10

7n = 10

Divide each side by '7'.

n = 1.428571429

Simplifying

n = 1.428571429

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

y = (-4/5)x + 12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = (4-0)/(-2-3) = 4/-5 = -4/5

y = (-4/5)x + c

When x = 3, y = 0

0 = (-4/5)(3) + c

c = 12/5

y = (-4/5)x + 12/5

5y = -x + 12

5y + x = 12

notsponge [240]

The question given is incomplete, I googled and got the complete question as below:

You are a waterman daily plying the waters of Chesapeake Bay for blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus), the best-tasting crustacean in the world. Crab populations and commercial catch rates are highly variable, but the fishery is under constant pressure from over-fishing, habitat destruction, and pollution. These days, you tend to pull crab pots containing an average of 2.4 crabs per pot. Given that you are economically challenged as most commercial fishermen are, and have an expensive boat to pay off, you’re always interested in projecting your income for the day. At the end of one day, you calculate that you’ll need 7 legal-sized crabs in your last pot in order to break even for the day. Use these data to address the following questions. Show your work.

a. What is the probability that your last pot will have the necessary 7 crabs?

b. What is the probability that your last pot will be empty?

Answer:

a. Probability = 0.0083

b. Probability = 0.0907

Step-by-step explanation:

This is Poisson distribution with parameter λ=2.4

a)

The probability that your last pot will have the necessary 7 crabs is calculated below:

P(X=7)=  {e-2.4*2.47/7!} = 0.0083

b)

The probability that your last pot will be empty is calculated as:

P(X=0)=  {e-2.4*2.40/0!} = 0.0907

Answer:

The answers are below

Step-by-step explanation:

The greater sign is > and the less then symbol is <

Using the red arrows on the number line, you can tell which one is bigger or less. The dot is colored in so it has to have a line under it. So for the first one (top, left), The red arrow is pointing to the right side meaning x is bigger than 3. Therefore x ≥ 3.

In the next one (top, right) the arrow is pointing to the negative side so that one must be less than 3. The dot is also colored in meaning it is: x ≤ 3

In the next one (bottom, left) the arrow is pointing to the right, the dot not colored in, so it has no line. Therefore it is  x > 3

Last one (bottom right) the arrow is pointing left, dot is white meaning that the answer is x < 3

If you're wondering what the open dots and closed dots mean:

An open dot is used to show that the ray's endpoint is not a component of the solution when the inequality is "strict" ( < or >).

A closed dot is used to denote that the endpoint is a component of the solution for the other types of inequalities (≥ and ≤ ).
