Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation can be derived from the question

let a represent the initial number Gus started with

{[(a x 8) - 12] / 4 } + 7 = 50

subtract 7 from both sides of the equation

[(a x 8) - 12] / 4 } = 43

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4

(a x 8) - 12] = 172

Add 12 to both sides

8a =184

Divide both sides by 8

a = 23.

Answer:

  20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The trains are separating at the rate of 80 +70 = 150 km/hour. The time required to be 50 km apart is then ...

  time = distance/speed = (50 km)/(150 km/h) = 1/3 h = 20 minutes

Kipish [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  B.  (x +4)² +(y +5)² = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a circle with center (h, k) and radius r is ...

  (x -h)² +(y -k)² = r²

Filling in your given values, you have ...

  (x -(-4))² +(y -(-5))² = 8²

Simplifying, you get ...

  (x +4)² +(y +5)² = 64 . . . . . . . matches choice B

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

As you learn more different "standard form" equations, it may be helpful to keep a list, along with reminders of what the variables stand for and how the equation is used.

Given that X is the number of months between successive payments

Cumulative distribution function of X is

F(x) =0, x

a) PMF of x would be

P(x) =0, x

b) P(3 ≤ X ≤ 6) =0.86-0.44=0.42\\ P(4 ≤ X)=1-0.44=0.56\\P(3 < X < 6) =0.6\\P(4 < X) =1-0.48=0.52

If p is a positive integer,then p(p+1)(p-1) is always divisible by?
ElenaW [278]

I am not quite sure what the choices are, but the answer to that problem is:

If p is a positive integer, then p(p+1)(p-1) is always divisible by “an even number”.

The explanation to this is that whatever number you input to that equation, the answer will always be an even number. This is due to the expression p(p+1)(p-1) which always result in a even product.

For example if p=3, then (p+1)(p-1) becomes (4)(2) giving you a even number.

And if for example if p=2, then (p+1)(p-1) becomes (3)(1) which gives an odd product, but we still have to multiply this with p therefore 2*3 = 6 which is even product. The outcome is always even number.

<span>Answer: From the choices, select the even number</span>
