(b) or (d)

Step-by-step explanation:

stidents who play basketball = 4y^2 + y - 8 - (2y + 16) = 4y^2 - y - 24

This is a question on forming and solving equations and expressions. If you wish to venture further into it/understand this topic better, you may want to follow my Instagram account (learntionary), where I post some of my own notes on certain topics and also some tips that may be useful to you :)

Answer: Choice (b) 4y^2 - y - 24; top right corner

===========================================================

Work Shown:

T = total number of students in the class

T = 4y^2 + y - 8

F = number of students who play football

F = 2y+16

B = number of students who play basketball

B = unknown for now

Since a student either plays football or basketball, but not both, this means

T = F+B

which rearranges to

B = T-F

Plug in the given expressions and simplify

B = T-F

B = (4y^2+y-8) - (2y+16)

B = 4y^2+y-8 - 2y - 16

B = 4y^2 + (y-2y) + (-8-16)

B = 4y^2 - y - 24

Suppose that 45% of people have dogs. If two people are randomly chosen, what is the probability that they both have a dog

mylen [45]

Answer:

$P(Dogs) = 0.2025$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Proportion, p = 45\%$

Required

Probability of two people having dog

First, we have to convert the given parameter to decimal

$p = \frac{45}{100}$

$p = 0.45$

Let P(Dogs) represent the required probability;

This is calculated as thus;

P(Dogs) = Probability of first person having a dog * Probability of second person having a dog

$P(Dogs) = p * p$

$P(Dogs) = 0.45 * 0.45$

$P(Dogs) = 0.45^2$

$P(Dogs) = 0.2025$

Hence, the probability of 2 people having a dog is  $P(Dogs) = 0.2025$

Sanjay and Felipe are putting together a 500-piece puzzle. Sanjay could do the entire puzzle by himself in 6 hours, while it wou

Nata [24]

What is the time it takes Sanjay to complete the puzzle? 6 hours

What is the time it takes Felipe to complete the puzzle? 8 hours

We can use the general formula of rate and time to solve this problem. Generally we have,

Rate * Time = Work/Job

** where Work/Job for this problem is 1 since they are doing 1 work, which is solving a puzzle

Finding rate of Sanjay:

$R(6)=1\\R=\frac{1}{6}$

Finding rate of Felipe:

$R(8)=1\\R=\frac{1}{8}$

Working together, their rate is the sum,

Total Rate = $\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{7}{24}$ .

Using the general formula again, we can find the time it will take to solve the puzzle when both works together.

$(\frac{7}{24})T=1\\ T=\frac{1}{\frac{7}{24}}= \frac{24}{7} = 3.43$ hours

Rounding the answer, we have 3.4 hours.

ANSWER: 3.4 hours

How do you simplify this expression? -12 divided by 3•(-8+(-4)*2-6)+2

garri49 [273]

0.1875

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Let the given expression in word form be expressed as

$(-12)/(3(-8 + ((-4)(2)) - 6) + 2)$

Step 2:

Let us we simplify it using BODMAS rule.

(-12)/ ( 3(-8-8-6) + 2)

(-12) / (3(-22)+2)

What type of seismic waves can travel through the center of the Earth and be picked up by a seismograph on the other side of the

Tom [10]

Answer: primary waves

Step-by-step explanation: pressure waves that travel faster than other waves through the earth to arrive at seismograph stations first, hence the name "Primary". These waves can travel through any type of material, including fluids, and can travel nearly 1.7 times faster than the S-waves.
