Evaluate the expression when x = -1/4 and y = -9/7 2x+|y|

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

2x+|y| = 11/14

Explanation:

First, substitute variables.

2(-1/4) + |-9/7|

Change the whole number into a fraction for easier multiplication. The absolute value around -9/7 removes the negative, so it becomes positive 9/7.

= (2/1 * -1/4) + 9/7

= -2/4 + 9/7

= -1/2 + 9/7

Next, find a common denominator to add fractions. When you multiply fractions, multiply numerators with each other and denominators with each other.

(-1/2 * 7/7) + (9/7 * 2/2)

= -7/14 + 18/14

When you add fractions with a common denominator, keep the same denominator and add numerators.

-7/14 + 18/14 = 11/14

3n - 5 = -8(6 + 5n) <br><br> what does n equal?

Mariana [72]

3n - 5 = -8(6 + 5n)

3n - 5 = -48 - 40n

3n + 40n = -48 + 5

43n = -43

n = -1

Shu Yi can't resist a sale. She recently bought a dress for $93 after it had been discounted 25%. She also purchased shoes that

klemol [59]

Dress: 93$ at 100-25%=75%
-> divide the marked down cost by the percentage to get the cost of a single percent and then multiply it with the markdown again to get the saved cost
93/75*25=93/3*1=31*1=31$
shoes 119$ at 100-15%=85%
119/85*15=119/17*3=7*3=21

add both savings together for the full sum: 31+21=52$

Suppose that the probabilities of a customer purchasing 0, 1, or 2 books at a book store are 0.20.2, 0.30.3, and 0.50.5, res

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

0.78

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the next probability distribution:

X P(X)

0 0.2

1 0.3

2 0.5

As we can see when we add all the probabilites the result is 1. Now calculating the mean we have:

$mean=\mu=(0\times0.2)+(1\times 0.3)+(2\times 0.5)=0+0.3+1=1.3$

The standard deviation is:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\sum(x-\mu)^{2}(P(x))}$

Then using the data that we have:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\sum(x-\mu)^{2}(P(x))}\\\sigma=\sqrt{(0-1.3)^{2}(0.2)+(1-1.3)^{2}(0.3)+(2-1.3)^{2}(0.5)}\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{(-1.3)^{2}(0.2)+(-0.3)^{2}(0.3)+(0.7)^{2}(0.5)}\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{(1.69)(0.2)+(0.09)(0.3)+(0.49)(0.5)}\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{0.338+0.027+0.245}\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{0.61}\\\\\sigma=0.78\\$

Then the standard deviation is 0.78
