You were on the correct path in the beginning, so it was 100%. You then had a fork of two ways, and taking one randomly leaves you with a 50% chance of being on the right track. The second fork cuts your chances in half again, so 25%. There is a 25% chance you are still on the correct path.
You know the total length ST and SU, so to find x you would write an equation. This would be: x+4+2x=16 Combine like terms: 3x+4=16 Subtract four from both sides: 3x=12 Divide both sides by three: x=4
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>1 x + 1 y = 7 .............1
Total value
15 x + 28 y = 131 .............2
Eliminate y
multiply (1)by -28
Multiply (2) by 1
-28 x -28 y = -196
15 x + 28 y = 131
Add the two equations
-13 x = -65
/ -13
x = 5
plug value of x in (1)
1 x + 1 y = 7
5 + y = 7
y = 7 -5
y = 2
y = 2
x= 5 plain shirts
y= 2 fancy shirts </span>
Part (a)
<h3>Answer: x = -8</h3>
------------------
Work Shown:
2(x-1) = 3(x+2)
2x-2 = 3x+6 .... distribute
2x = 3x+6+2 .... adding 2 to both sides
2x = 3x+8
2x-3x = 8 .... subtracting 3x from both sides
-x = 8
x = -8 ..... multiply both sides by -1
===========================================================
Part (b)
<h3>Answer: x = 5/11</h3>
------------------
Work Shown:
-4(2x-2) = 3(x+1)
-8x+8 = 3x+3 ..... distribute
-8x = 3x+3-8 .... subtract 8 from both sides
-8x = 3x-5
-8x-3x = -5 ... subtract 3x from both sides
-11x = -5
x = -5/(-11) .... divide both sides by -11
x = 5/11
In decimal form, this is approximately equal to 5/11 = 0.4545
