1/3 (x + 4 ) = 20 wt the answer

Mathematics
1 answer:
sashaice [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, distribute the 1/3 onto the x and the 4 in the parenthesis. That leaves you with

1/3x + 4/3 = 20

We want the x value by itself so we're going to subtract the 4/3 from the left and the right side, leaving us with

1/3x + 4/3 = 20 - 4/3

1/3x = 18 & 2/3 (since we're dealing with fractions, I'm going to change the 18 & 2/3 into an improper fraction just to make the next step easier.)

1/3x = 56/3

The last step is to divide the 1/3 off of the x, so x is by itself. To divide a fraction by a fraction, just flip the fraction you're dividing with and multiply.

56/3 x 3/1 = 56 (56 x 3 is 168, and 3 x 1 is 3, so when you reduce 168/3, you get 56)

So, 56 is our answer, because after dividing off the 1/3, we're left with x = 56

The time taken to assemble a laptop computer in a certain plant is a random variable having a normal distribution of 20 hours an
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

a) 40.13% probability that a laptop computer can be assembled at this plant in a period of time of less than 19.5 hours.

b) 34.13% probability that a laptop computer can be assembled at this plant in a period of time between 20 hours and 22 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

\mu = 20, \sigma = 2

a)Less than 19.5 hours?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 19.5. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{19.5 - 20}{2}

Z = -0.25

Z = -0.25 has a pvalue of 0.4013.

40.13% probability that a laptop computer can be assembled at this plant in a period of time of less than 19.5 hours.

b)Between 20 hours and 22 hours?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 22 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 20. So

X = 22

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{22 - 20}{2}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a pvalue of 0.8413

X = 20

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{20 - 20}{2}

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a pvalue of 0.5

0.8413 - 0.5 = 0.3413

34.13% probability that a laptop computer can be assembled at this plant in a period of time between 20 hours and 22 hours.

The ages of three siblings are consecutive integers. The sum of their ages is 42. Calculate their ages. *
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

13, 14, 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = age of one of the siblings

Since the age of the siblings are consecutive integers, the age of the next sibling would be x + 1 and the age of the third sibling would be x + 2

x +( x +1) + (x +2) = 42

3x + 3 = 42

collect like terms and solve for x

x = 13

The age of the first sibling is 13

The age of the second sibling is x + 1 = 13 + 1 = 14

The age of the third sibling is x + 2 = 13 + 2 = 15
