Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are 10 men and 5 women in a conference room

total People=15

(a)Probability that the committee consists of 2 men and 2 women

we have to select from 10 men and 5 women

P=\frac{^5C_2\times ^{10}C_2}{^{15}C_4}

(b)Bob and Jane end up on the same committee

as bob and Jane are necessary to include so there are 4 women and 9 men left to select remaining 2 person

P=\frac{^{13}C_2}{^{15}C_4}

(c)Bob is in the committee but Jane is not

9 men and 4 women left to choose other 3 person

P=\frac{^{13}C_3}{^{15C_4}}

Answer:

One solution was found :

                  d = 19/3 = 6.333

Step-by-step explanation:

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

            7

Simplify   ——

           -3

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        7    

 (d +  ——) -  4  = 0

       -3    

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  -3  as the denominator :

         d     d • -3

    d =  —  =  ——————

         1       -3  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

d • 3 + 7 • -1     3d - 7

——————————————  =  ——————

      3              3  

Equation at the end of step  2  :

 (3d - 7)    

 ———————— -  4  = 0

    3        

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

3.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  3  as the denominator :

        4     4 • 3

   4 =  —  =  —————

        1       3  

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

(3d-7) - (4 • 3)     3d - 19

————————————————  =  ———————

       3                3  

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 3d - 19

 ———————  = 0

    3  

Step  4  :

When a fraction equals zero :

4.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 3d-19

 ————— • 3 = 0 • 3

   3  

Now, on the left hand side, the  3  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  3d-19  = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.2      Solve  :    3d-19 = 0

Add  19  to both sides of the equation :

                     3d = 19

Divide both sides of the equation by 3:

                    d = 19/3 = 6.333

One solution was found :

                  d = 19/3 = 6.333

Tim wants to determine the height, x, of a nearby tree. He stands 35 feet
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

x ≈ 29.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The model is a right triangle.

Using the tangent ratio

tan40° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{x}{35} ( multiply both sides by 35 )

35 × tan40° = x , then

x ≈ 29.4 ft ( to 1 dec. place )

Four times the greater of two consecutive integers is 18 more than three times the lesser integer. What are the integers?
maw [93]
This is how I would solve it:

1st # = x                 4(x+1)=3x+18
2nd # = x+1              4x+4=3x+18
                                     4x=3x+14
                                       x=14

To check: 15x4=60; 60-42=18.       <u>1st # = 14; 2nd # = 15.</u>

Factor out the GCF -2x^2 - 4x - 6
andrew-mc [135]

The Greatest Common factor(GCF) of -2x^2-4x-6 is -2(x+1)(x-3)

<h3>What is Greatest Common Factor?</h3>

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the largest factor two or more numbers have in common

From the question,

-2x^2-4x-6

By collecting like terms

-2(x^2-2x-3)

By factoring x^2-2x-3

-2(x^2-3x+1x-3)

Collecting like terms

-2(x^2-3x)+(x-3)

-2(x(x-3)+1(x-3))

-2(x+1)(x-3)

hence  -2(x+1)(x-3) is the Greatest Common factor of  -2x^2-4x-6 is
