Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12=3x-2y

2y+12=3x

2y=3x-12

y=(3x-12)/2

y=mx+b

To be parallel to the line above our line must have the same slope or m. The above line has a slope of 3/2 or 1.5 so the parallel line will be

y=1.5x+b, using point (7,10) we can solve for the y intercept or b

10=1.5(7)+b

10=10.5+b

b=-0.5 so our line is

y=1.5x-0.5

At a manufacturing plant where switches are made, it is a known fact that 2% of all switches are defective. If two switches are

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The probability that exactly one switch is good is

$P(x) =0.0392$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a switch is defective is:

$P(D) = \frac{2}{100} =0.02$

The probability that a switch is not defective is

$P(D') = 1-P(D)=0.98$

Therefore, if two switches are selected, the probability that exactly 1 is good is:

$P(1=1)=P (D) P (D ') + P (D') P (D)$

$P(x)=(0.02)(0.98) + (0.98)(0.02)$

$P(x) =0.0392$

What is the square root of 5x^2 = 300

vesna_86 [32]

So, values of x are: $x=2\sqrt{15},\,\,x=-2\sqrt{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the square root of 5x^2 = 300

Writing in mathematical form:

$5x^2=300$

Divide both sides by 5

$\frac{5x^2}{5}=\frac{300}{5}$

$x^2=60$

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{60}$

$x=\pm (\sqrt{2\times 2\times 3\times 5})$

$x=\pm (\sqrt{2^2 \times 3\times 5})$

$x=\pm (2\sqrt{3\times 5})$

$x=\pm (2\sqrt{15})$

$x=2\sqrt{15},\,\,x=-2\sqrt{15}$

So, values of x are: $x=2\sqrt{15},\,\,x=-2\sqrt{15}$

Which set of lengths are not the side lengths of a right triangle? (A-28, 45, 53) (B-13, 84, 85) (C-36, 77, 85) (D-16, 61, 65) [

nikklg [1K]

Side lengths 16, 61, and 65 are not part of a right triangle.

A right triangle's sides should follow this formula, C being the largest number:

$a^{2} + b ^{2} = c^{2}$

$16^{2} = 256$

$61^{2} = 3721$

$65^{2} = 4225$

256 + 3721 = 3977

$3977 \neq 4225$

Find major of 1 in the diagram.

34kurt

Answer:

85° (C).

Step-by-step explanation:

35° should go over to the other side of the line:

180 - 35 = 145°

Find angle 1:

145 + 130 + angle 1 = 360°

360° = 275° + angle 1

angle 1 = 360 - 275

angle 1 = 85°

85° which is C is the answer.

Please help me!

yan [13]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A = Area of First Rectangle 

B = Area of Second Rectangle 

w = Width

12(w)=320+B (1st Equation)

8(w) = B (2nd Equation)

w=B/8 (Plug this value of w into the first equation)

12B/8 = 320 +B (you get this)

12B= 2560 + 8B (Simplify)

4B = 2560

B =640 plug this value into the 2nd equation

8(w) = 640

w = 80

To Test This

12x80 = 960

8x80 = 640

<h3>960 - 640 = 320 Therefore the answer is correct the width is 80</h3>
