Answer:

y = 18/5(11)

Step-by-step explanation:

If y varies directly as x, this is expressed as;

y∝x

y = kx

k is the constant of proportional constant

if y = 18 and x = 5

18 = 5k

k = 18/5

to get the expression that can be used to find the value of y when x is 11

y = kx

y = 18/5(11)

This gives the required expression

NeTakaya

Probability of having a girl: 1/2
Probability of having another girl right after: 1/2
Probability of having a boy right after: 1/2
Then another boy: 1/2
And a third boy: 1/2

To find compound probabilities, just multiply them together.

$\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2*2*2*2*2} =\frac{1}{32} = \boxed{0.031}\ in\ decimal\ form$

What is the solution to the equation 8 - 2b = -2/3(12b + 6)?

Delvig [45]

<span>8 - 2b = -2/3(12b + 6)
8 - 2b = -8b -4
8 + 4 = -8b + 2b
12 = -6b
b = -12/6
b = -2

So, your final answer is b = -2</span>
