"twelve decreased by twice a number" ---> 12 - 2x
"8 times the sum of number and 4" ---> 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8x + 32 (distributive property)
12 = 10x + 32 (add 2x to both sides)
-20 = 10x (subtract 32 from both sides)
x = -2 (divide both sides by 10)
That's answer.
Answer:
0.36 = 36% probability that the land has oil and the test predicts it
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditional Probability
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
45% chance that the land has oil.
This means that 
He buys a kit that claims to have an 80% accuracy rate of indicating oil in the soil.
This means that 
What is the probability that the land has oil and the test predicts it?
This is
. So


0.36 = 36% probability that the land has oil and the test predicts it
No, i would stay with my answer #1 and trust myself.
Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
as 7 is a prime numbers and prime numbers cannot be reduced .
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the rule y = 5x + 7.
a. How many tiles are in Figure 0?
In figure 0, we let x=0
y = 5*0+7 = 0+7 = 7
b. Which figure has 37 tiles?
This means y = 37
37 = 5x+7
Subtract 7 from each side
37-7 = 5x+7-7
30 = 5x
Divide by 5
30/5 = 5x/5
6 =x
Figure 6 has 37 tiles
c. In the equation y = mx + b, what do the letters m and b represent?
m is the slope or how much it is increasing each time x increases by 1 and b is how much we start with when x =0
