Answer:

x should equal -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 (3x + 1) + x - 3 = 15

-12x - 4 + x - 3 = 15

-12x + x - 4 - 3 = 15

-11x - 7 = 15

-11x - 7 + 7 = 15 + 7

-11x = 22

-11 ÷ -11x = 22 ÷ -11

x = -2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we will use distributive property first

-12x-4+x-3=15

-11x-7=15

-11x=15+7

-11x=22

x=22/-11

x=-2

Find the distance AB between the points A (8, 2) and B(3,9). Round your answer to the nearest
LenKa [72]

Answer:

<h3>d = 8.6</h3><h3>d = √74</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

A (8, 2) = (x_1 ,y_1)\\ B(3,9) = (x_2,y_2)\\\\d = \sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}\\\\d =\sqrt{\left(3-8\right)^2+\left(9-2\right)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(5)^2+(7)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{25+49}\\\\d=\sqrt{74}\\\\d = 8.6023\\\\d = 8.6

Four machines, each costing $5,700, were purchased for an office. Each machine requires
liubo4ka [24]

The number of months it would take to recover the cost of the machines is 12 months.

<h3> What is the total cost of the machines and the salary of the operators? </h3>

Total cost of the four machines = $5700 x 4 = $22,800

The total salaries of the machine operators in t months = 4t x $1,00 = $4,400t

Total cost = $22,800 +  $4,400t

<h3>What is the amount saved by replacing the 8 clerks in t months? </h3>

($750 x 2t) + ($650 x 3t) + ($950 x 3t)

= $1500t + $1,950t +$2,850t

= $6300t

<h3>In how many months would it take to recover the cost of the machines? </h3>

$22,800 +  $4,400t  =  $6300t

Combine similar terms

$22,800 = $6300t - $4400t

$22,800 = $1900t

Divide both sides by 1900

t = 12 months

Alice is baking a cake. She doesn’t intend to eat it, but tells you half of what you find is yours. She tells the same thing to
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: a) P = 0.5, b) P = 0.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

Lets call X₁ the time at which you arrive, and X₂ the time at which Bob arrives. Both are random variables with uniform density in the interval [0, 60] (in minutes). Their joint distribuition is uniform over the square in the image, with value P = 1/(60*60) = 1/3600.

a) For you to get more cake than Bob, you should arrive earlier. This event is A = { X₁ < X₂ }, the shaded triangle in the figure.The area of this event (set) is half the total area of the square, so P(A) = 0.5.

It makes sense, beacuse its equally probable for you or Bob to arrive earlier, as both have uniform density over the time interval.

b) In this case you arrive later than Bob, but less than 5 minutes later. So the event is B = { X₂ < X₁ < (X₂ + 5) } . This is the gray shaded area in b) part of the image. Its area is the difference two triangles (half square - blue triangle), then the probability is:

P(B) = 0.5 - \frac{(0.5*55^2)}{3600} =0.07
