Answer:

76

2 real solutions

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

  1. Brackets
  2. Parenthesis
  3. Exponents
  4. Multiplication
  5. Division
  6. Addition
  7. Subtraction
  • Left to Right<u> </u>

<u>Algebra I</u>

Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0

Discriminant: b² - 4ac

  • Positive - 2 solutions
  • Equal to 0 - 1 solution
  • Negative - No solutions/Imaginary

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

x² - 6x - 10 = 0

<u>Step 2: Identify Variables</u>

<em>Compare quadratic.</em>

x² - 6x - 10 = 0 ↔ ax² + bx + c = 0

a = 1, b = -6, c = -10

<u>Step 3: Find Discriminant</u>

  1. Substitute in variables [Discriminant]:                                                            (-6)² - 4(1)(-10)
  2. [Discriminant] Evaluate exponents:                                                                36 - 4(1)(-10)
  3. [Discriminant] Multiply:                                                                                    36 + 40
  4. [Discriminant] Add:                                                                                          76

This tells us that our quadratic has 2 real solutions.

((-3)^2)^3

The rule for raising and exponent to another exponent is:

(a^b)^c=a^(b*c) so:

((-3)^2)^3

(-3)^(2*3)

The average number of accidents is 3 per month, what is the probability of 1 accident?
tatuchka [14]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: 33.33%

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since we have the average number of accidents that occurs in 1 month, and it's equal to 3, we can calculate the probability of 1 accident occurs by dividing it into the average number of accidents, using the following formula:

Probability=\frac{FavorableOutcomes}{Outcomes}*100

Where,

Favorable outcomes are the occurrence of the event, for this case, it's equal to 1.

Outcomes are the possible occurrence of the event, for this case, it's equal to 3.

So, by substituting we have:

Probability=\frac{1}{3}*100

Probability=0.3333*100=33.33

So, the probability will be equal to 33.33%

Have a nice day!

Solve 5x + 14 = k for x​
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

x = 1/5(k-14)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 14 = k

Subtract 14 from each side

5x+14-14 = k-14

5x = k-14

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 1/5(k-14)

x = 1/5(k-14)
