Let's say each row has x desks and there are y rows.
We then know that x*y =25
We also know that x*2-5=y (number number of rows is five less than twice the number of desks in each row)
So we substitute: x*(x*2-5)=25
putting numbers out of the brackets:
2x*x-5x=25
2x*x-5x-25=0
(2x+5)(x-5)=0 (this bracketing is true: you can check it by expanding it:
2x*x-10x+5x-25
So that means that either x=-2.5which can't be : there can't be a fractional number of benches,
or x=5
so each row has 5 desks and there are 2*5-5 rows, or 5 rows.
Answer:
There are a few rules that we can use here:
ln(a^x) = x*ln(a)
ln(a) - ln(b) = ln(a/b)
ln(1) = 0
So here we want to expand:
ln(1/49^k)
First we can use the second property to get:
ln(1/49^k) = ln(1) - ln(49^k)
using the third property, we have:
ln(1/49^k) = ln(1) - ln(49^k) = 0 - ln(49^k)
ln(1/49^k) = - ln(49^k)
Now we can use the first property to get:
ln(1/49^k) = - k*ln(49)
Now we can use the fact that:
49 = 7*7 = 7^2
then:
- k*ln(49) = -k*ln(7^2) = -2*k*ln(7)
So we have:
ln(1/49^k) = (-2*ln(7))*k
We can expand it anymore because this is a real number "(-2*ln(7))" times a variable k.
Answer:
32.5% Win Rate
Step-by-step explanation:
I got this answer by first:
( 9 ) * x + ( -4 ) * ( 1 - x ) = 0
9x - 4 + 4x = 0
13x = 4
then finally:
13/4 = 3.25 | And to get that into percent you multiply that by 10, giving you a 32.5% win rate. or 325 / 1000. Meaning you will win 325 out of 1000 games you play. Hope this helped!
The problem can be represented on a Venn diagram, as shown below.
We have P(Day 1 ∩ Day 2) = 0.1 and P(Day 1) = 0.4
We can deduce that 30% of the group ONLY had sandwiches on Day 1 and there's 60% of the group ONLY had sandwiches on Day 2.
We obtain the value 60% = 0.6 from 100%-(10%+30%)=60%
We also can deduce that there 70% of the group that had sandwiches on Day 2
The proportion of people who ate sandwiches on Day 2 GIVEN that they ate sandwiches on Day 1 is given by
P(Day 1 ∩ Day 2)÷P(Day 2) = 0.1÷0.4 = 0.25 = 25%
The statement is TRUE
Answer:
56 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we minus the total paid with the cost of the taxi = $18-$4 = $14
$14 is what Alex paid for total of miles she travel
Each mile = $0.25
So, $14 ÷ $ 0.25 = 56 miles
