Answer:

When you use the distributive property, you multiply the two numbers together, just like simplifying any product. You will also see another example where the expression in parentheses is subtraction, rather than addition. You will need to be careful to change the sign of your product.

Find the slop from the given equation. 2x + 4y + 7 = 0

antiseptic1488 [7]

The slope of the line would be -1/2.

To find the slope we need to make the line in the form y = mx + b:

2x + 4y + 7 = 0

2x + 4y = -7

4y = -2x - 7

÷ 4

y = (-2/4)x - (7/4)

-2/4 simplifies to -1/2.

I hope this helps!

X - the percent of increase

$210+210x=260 \\
210x=260-210 \\
210x=50 \\
x=\frac{50}{210} \\
x \approx 0.238 \\
x \approx 23.8\%$

The percent of increase is approximately 23.8%.

a coin is tossed, then a letter in the word accomplishment is chosen at random. find the probability of heads, then a vowel

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{52}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Coin toss:

$Total\ outcome=\{H,T\}\\\\Favourable\ outcome=\{H\}\\\\P(Head)=\frac{Favourable\ outcome}{Number\ of\ total\ outcome}\\\\P(Head)=\frac{1}{2}$

Letter Selection:

$Number\ of\ total\ outcomes=26\ \ \ \ \ \ \ as\ total\ letters\ are\ 26\\\\Favourable\ outcomes=5\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ as\ there\ are\ 5\ vowels\\\\P(vowel)=\frac{Favourable\ outcomes}{Number\ of\ total\ outcomes}\\\\P(vowel)=\frac{5}{26}$

$These\ two\ events\ are\ independent.\\\\Hence\ probability\ of\ head\ and\ then\ vowel=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{5}{26}=\frac{5}{52}$
