Answer:

The box should be replaced with 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the box with n

Given

n(x - 3) + 2x = -(x - 5) + 4

Required

Determine the value of n

n(x - 3) + 2x = -(x - 5) + 4

Open Bracket:

n(x - 3) + 2x = -x + 5 + 4

n(x - 3) + 2x = -x + 9

Collect Like Terms

n(x - 3)  = -2x-x + 9

n(x - 3)  = -3x + 9

Factorize the expression on the left hand side

n(x - 3)  = -3(x - 3)

Divide both sides by x - 3

n = 3

Hence:

The box should be replaced with 3

The probability that it will snow on the last day of January is 85%. If the probability remains the same of the first eight day
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Here, we have:

P(5 days snow in this 8 days) = 8C5 x (0.85)^5 x (1 - 0.85)^3 = 0.084

P(6 days snow in this 8 days) = 8C6 x (0.85)^6 x (1 - 0.85)^2 = 0.238

P(7 days snow in this 8 days) = 8C7 x (0.85)^7  x (1 - 0.85)^1  = 0.385

P(8 days snow in this 8 days) = 8C8 x (0.85)^8 x (1 - 0.85)^0 = 0.272

Add up those above, then the probability that it will snow AT LEAST five of those days in February:

P = 0.084+ 0.238 + 0. 385 + 0.272 = 0.979

Hope this helps!

On a certain hot​ summer's 439 day, people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are $1.75 for children and $2.50 for
san4es73 [151]

Answer:102 children and 337 adults swam at the publice pool that da

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of children be x

and

the number of adults be y

such that the total number of people who came to use the public swimming pool be expressed as

x + y = 439----- Equation 1

and price  for swimming be expressed as

1.75x + 2.50y =1021----- Equation 2

Step 2

x + y = 439----- Equation 1

1.75x + 2.50y =1021----- Equation 2

First make x the subject formulae and put in equation 2

x= 439-y

1.75 (430-y) + 2.50y = 1021

Solving gives

768.25-1.75y+2.50y=1021

2.50y-1.75y=1021-768.25

0.75y=252.75

y =252.75/0.75  

y=337

To find x, put the value of y = 337 in equation 1

x+y= 439

x= 439-337

x=102

Therefore 102 children and 337 adults swam at the public pool that day
