Well, if 5% of them are real, that means 95% of the calls they get each day are false alarms.  

If we set up our inequality and multiply (Which i'm assuming you know how to do) We would get 114. Therefore, 114 calls would be false alarms.

5x+5y=-30 find the x and y intercept
Masja [62]

<em>The x and y intercept of 5x + 5y = -30 are (-6, 0) and (0, -6) respectively.</em>

<h2 /><h2>Explanation:</h2>

The Standard Form of the equation of a line is given by:

Ax+By=C \\ \\ A,B,C \ Real \ Constants \ and \ A>0

So:

5x+5y=-30

is written in Standard Form. The x and y intercepts are:

x-intercept: \ (x,0) \\ \\ y-intercept: \ (0,y)

So:

FOR X-INTERCEPT:

Let's \ set: \\ y=0 \\ \\ 5x+5(0)=-30 \\ \\ Isolating \ x: \\ \\ 5x=-30 \\ \\ x=-\frac{30}{5} \\ \\ \boxed{x=-6}

FOR Y-INTERCEPT:

Let's \ set: \\ x=0 \\ \\ 5(0)+5y=-30 \\ \\ Isolating \ x: \\ \\ 5y=-30 \\ \\ y=-\frac{30}{5} \\ \\ \boxed{y=-6}

Finally,<em> the x and y intercept of 5x + 5y = -30 are (-6, 0) and (0, -6) respectively.</em>

X + x + x = 54<br> What’s the answer for this
Oliga [24]

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x+x+x=54

(x+x+x)=54(Combine Like Terms)

3x=54

3x=54

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

3x  3 = 54

3 x=18

Answer:

x=18

Mumz [18]
<h2><u>Q</u><u>u</u><u>e</u><u>s</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>o</u><u>n</u>:-</h2>

What is the value of this expression when c = -4 and d = 10 ? \frac{1}{4} (c³ + d²)

<h2><u>A</u><u>n</u><u>s</u><u>w</u><u>e</u><u>r</u>:-</h2>

<h3>Given:-</h3>

\frac{1}{4} (c³ + d²) where c = -4 and d = 10

<h3>To Find:-</h3>

The value of the expression \frac{1}{4} (c³ + d²)

<h2>Solution:-</h2>

\frac{1}{4} (c³ + d²) [Given expression]

Now, putting the value of c = -4 and d = 10 , we get,

\frac{1}{4} { (-4)³ + (10)² }

\frac{1}{4} ( -64 + 100 )

\frac{1}{4} ( 36 )

\frac{1}{4} × 36
