The denominator of a fraction is two more than the numerator. If both numerator and denominator are decreased by six, the simpli

Answer:

$\dfrac{40}{42}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator of the fraction=x

Since the denominator of a fraction is two more than the numerator.

Denominator=x+2

The fraction is therefore:

$\dfrac{x}{x+2}$

If both numerator and denominator are decreased by six, the fraction becomes:

$\dfrac{x-6}{x+2-6}$

The simplified result is $\dfrac{17}{18}$

Therefore:

$\dfrac{x-6}{x+2-6}=\dfrac{17}{18}\\$Next, we solve for x\\Cross multiply\\18(x-6)=17(x+2-6)\\18(x-6)=17(x-4)\\Expand the bracket\\18x-108=17x-68\\Collect like terms\\18x-17x=-68+108\\x=40$

Substituting x=40 into the initial fraction

$\dfrac{x}{x+2}=\dfrac{40}{40+2}=\dfrac{40}{42}$

Therefore, the original fraction is $\dfrac{40}{42}$

The capacity of an elevator is 12 people or 2088 pounds. the capacity will be exceeded if 12 people have weights with a mean gre

boyakko [2]

suppose the people have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 177 lb and a standard deviation of 26 lb.

Find the probability that if a person is randomly selected, his weight will be greater than 174 pounds?

Assume that weights of people are normally distributed with a mean of 177 lb and a standard deviation of 26 lb.

Mean = 177

standard deviation = 26

We find z-score using given mean and standard deviation

z = $\frac{x-mean}{standard deviation}$

= $\frac{174-177}{26}$

=-0.11538

Probability (z>-0.11538) = 1 - 0.4562 (use normal distribution table)

= 0.5438

P(weight will be greater than 174 lb) = 0.5438

2x+y=x-y-3=6 What is x&y???? Please answer asap!!!!

Mariana [72]

2x + y = x - y - 3 = 6
Add 3 to everything
2x + y + 3 = x - y - 3 + 3 = 6 + 3
2x + y + 3 = x - y = 9
2x + y + 3 = 9
2x + y = 6 = x - y
Add y to everything
2x + 2y = 6 + y = x
Since x = 6 + y substitute every x with 6 + y
2(6 + y) + 2y = x
12 + 4y = x

This is as simplified as I can get and then just place 12 + 4y into every x in the original problem then solve
