To solve for <em>x</em>, we must first isolate the term containing <em>x</em> which in this problem is 5x.
Since 10 is being added to 5x, we subtract 10 from both sides of the equation to isolate the 5x.
On the left, the +10 and -10 cancel out and on the right, 20 - 10 is 10 and we have 5x = 10.
Now we can finish things off by just dividing both sides of the equation by 5. On the left the 5's cancel and on the right, 10 divided by 5 is 2 so <em>x = 2</em>.
Answer:
The possibility that John And sue both miss their shots = 0.39
Step-by-step explanation:
John makes 35% of his free throw shots = 0.35
The probability of John missing his shot = 0.65
Sue makes 40% of her free throw shot = 0.4
The probability of Sue missing his shot = 0.6
The possibility that John And sue both miss their shots = 0.65 (0.6)
= 0.39
Answer:
Reflection over the X axis.
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
x = cost of adult ticket
y = cost of student ticket
cost of adult ticket is twice the cost of a student ticket
x = 2y
number of adult tickets = 64
number of student tickets = 132
cost of all adult tickets = 64x
cost of all student tickets = 132y
cost of all adult and student tickets combined: 64x + 132y
cost of all adult and student tickets combined: 1040
This gives us the equation:
64x + 132y = 1040
b.
Use substitution to solve the system of equations. Since x = 2y, where you see x in the second equation, substitute it with 2y.
64(2y) + 132y = 1040
128y + 132y = 1040
260y = 1040
y = 1040/260
y = 4
x = 2y = 2(4) = 8
adult ticket: $8
student ticket: $4
The answer is x equals 62
