Kendra used these steps to solve the equation 2x + 5 = 3 + 2(x + 1). Which choice describes the meaning of her result, 5 = 5?

The answer is A because it makes the equation true and the other ones does not make sense

The answer is A.
If a redundant conclusion is reached in basic algebra this states that the variable holds all possible real values.
If you algebraically solve Kendra's you do achieve the true statement 5 = 5 (leaving out D). And if you test any value of x for the equation it does hold true (getting rid of B).
Hopefully this makes sense.

-8.1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ - 4}{9} x + 2.4 = 6$

<em>Times </em><em>all </em><em>by </em><em>9</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>get </em><em>rid </em><em>of </em><em>fraction</em>

<em> $- 4x + 21.6 = 54$ </em>

<em>Take </em><em>2</em><em>1</em><em>.</em><em>6</em><em> </em><em>away</em><em> </em><em>from</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em>

<em> $- 4x = 32.4$ </em>

<em>Divide</em><em> </em><em>by </em><em>-</em><em>4</em>

<em> $x = - 8.1$ </em>

In a group of a hundred and fifty students attending a youth workshop in mombasa, 125 of them are fluent in kiswahili, 135 in en

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The probability that a student chosen at random is fluent in English or Swahili.

P(S∪E) = 1.1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):</em></u>-

Given total number of students n(T) = 150

Given 125 of them are fluent in Swahili

Let 'S' be the event of fluent in Swahili language

n(S) = 125

The probability that the fluent in Swahili language

$P(S) = \frac{n(S)}{n(T)} = \frac{125}{150} = 0.8333$

Let 'E' be the event of fluent in English language

n(E) = 135

The probability that the fluent in English language

$P(E) = \frac{n(E)}{n(T)} = \frac{135}{150} = 0.9$

n(E∩S) = 95

The probability that the fluent in English and Swahili

$P(SnE) = \frac{n(SnE)}{n(T)} = \frac{95}{150} = 0.633$

<u><em>Step(ii):</em></u>-

The probability that a student chosen at random is fluent in English or Swahili.

P(S∪E) = P(S) + P(E) - P(S∩E)

= 0.833+0.9-0.633

= 1.1

<u><em>Final answer:-</em></u>

The probability that a student chosen at random is fluent in English or Swahili.

P(S∪E) = 1.1

[PROBABILITY] THERE ARE FOUR PEOPLE IN A ROOM THAT HAVEN'T MET BEFORE. THEY ARE TOLD TO SHAKE HANDS, EXACTLY ONCE, OF EVERY OTHE

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 4 people be A, B, C and D. If each of them shakes hands with another person exactly one time then that means

A shakes with B, C and D. So 3 handshakes

B already shakes with A. So B shakes with C and D. 2 handshakes

C already shakes with A and B. So C shakes with D only. 1 handshake.

D already shake hand with all above.

Total handshakes: 3 + 2 + 1 = 6
