Answer:

Sample Response: Since this is a subtraction problem, Jeremy needed to distribute the negative to the terms in the numerator. Jeremy only distributed it to the x2-term, and not to 15. Instead, he kept the 15 positive. When he combined like terms, he got a result of 5 for the constants. The correct result is x + 5.

Brenda took out a personal loan for $12,000 at an interest rate of 12% compounded monthly. She made arrangements to pay the loan
iragen [17]

Answer: her monthly payments would be $267

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the periodic interest rate formula which is expressed as

P = a/[{(1+r)^n]-1}/{r(1+r)^n}]

Where

P represents the monthly payments.

a represents the amount of the loan

r represents the annual rate.

n represents number of monthly payments. Therefore

a = $12000

r = 0.12/12 = 0.01

n = 12 × 5 = 60

Therefore,

P = 12000/[{(1+0.01)^60]-1}/{0.01(1+0.01)^60}]

12000/[{(1.01)^60]-1}/{0.01(1.01)^60}]

P = 12000/{1.817 -1}/[0.01(1.817)]

P = 12000/(0.817/0.01817)

P = 12000/44.96

P = $267

please answer asap! A couple plans to have 5 children. The gender of each child is equally likely. Design a simulation involving
dimulka [17.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

The gender of a child which is either a boy or a girl is determined by the XX-chromosomes, or XY-chromosomes.

Since the couple plan to have 5 children, the chance of a child being a boy is equal to the chance of it being a girl - the chances are 50/50.

What we do to achieve our aim is to run a simulation that would add an X or Y to an X for all 5 children.

Doing this 125 times, we obtain the number of trials we desire.

For each trial, we get for each child, C:

C1: X + (X or Y)

C2: X + (X or Y)

C3: X + (X or Y)

C4: X + (X or Y)

C5: X + (X or Y)

Since the chance of having an X is equal to the chance of having a Y, they equal probability, which is 0.5 for each.
