<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>-5x-1</h3><h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let's say the unknown number is x

<u>Quotient = is the answer to a multiplication question</u>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have to multiple -5 by x:

_---------------__-------------__-----------____-----------------------------------------

Lastly: we have to minus 1 from -5x

<h3>= -5x-1</h3><h3>````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````</h3><h3 /><h3>If you learned from my answer please rate it below from a scale of 1 to 5 using the stars to let me know how well you learned from my answer. </h3><h3 /><h3>Make sure to also press the like button (Thanks button) if you really liked my answer / explanation </h3><h3 /><h3>If it was incorrect or you didn't learn from it please review my answer accordingly (report if incorrect) </h3><h3 /><h3>````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````</h3><h3 /><h3>I only want to spread knowledgeable and truthful information let me know if it is incorrect or not helpful so I / Brainly can take it down. </h3><h3 /><h3>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ </h3><h3 /><h3>Lastly, If your the owner of this question please mark me Brainliest if you really learned from my answer I really do appreciate it. </h3><h3 />

Ok so the only ones that we know for sure are 4 = 1, 6=8, 7=9 and you can’t really do all that much with 2,3,5 because it’s not as obvious

Reuben says, "two days ago i was 20 years old. later next year, i will be 23 years old." how is this possible?

Aneli [31]

Let us always base on the present age. We denote this by x. Now, the age he had 2 years ago would then be denoted as (x-2). Let's equate this to 20 years old.

x - 2 = 20
x = 20 + 2
x = 22 years old
He should be 22 years old now.

Let's check the other condition. After 1 year, his age should be (x+1). Let's equate this to 23 years old.

x + 1 = 23
x = 23 - 1
x = 22

Thus, this is possible if Reuben is 22 years old as of the present.

In the figure to the right, AB = 7 1/2 m, BC = 2 1/4 m, and DE = 1 1/4 m. Find the perimeter of the figure if all angles are rig

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Perimeter=22 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter Of A Figure

Perimeter is the distance measured around a shape. If the figure is line-shaped, the perimeter can be obtained by adding the individual lengths of each segment around the shape.

The figure shown is surrounded by line segments. We only have to add them all to find the perimeter. But we don't need each individual length to do so. We may notice the following (given all angles are right):

The sum of HG+FE+DC equals AB. So the upper and lower lengths are twice AB, or equivalently: 2*7 1/2 m =15 m

It can also be noted that AH+GF=BC+DE=2 1/4+1 1/4 = 3 1/2 m. It means that the two lateral lengths are twice this value: 2* 3 1/2 = 7 m

Thus, the total perimeter is 15 m + 7 m = 22 m

Construct the discrete probability distribution for the random variable described. Express the probabilities as simplified fract

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

$P(X = 0) = 0.03125$

$P(X = 1) = 0.15625$

$P(X = 2) = 0.3125$

$P(X = 3) = 0.3125$

$P(X = 4) = 0.15625$

$P(X = 5) = 0.03125$

Step-by-step explanation:

For each toss, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is tails, or it is not. The probability of a toss resulting in tails is independent of any other toss, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
