Answer:
one solution
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
3 (x-1) = 2x + 9
3x - 3 = 2x + 9
subtract 2x from each side of the equation:
x - 3 = 9
add 3 to each side:
x = 12
Answer:
C. 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Substituting, we have ...
8{80, 19, 11} ?= 88
{640, 152, 88} ?= 88
The value from the set that makes the equation true is x = 11.
_____
<em>Alternate methods of solution (other than substitution)</em>
It can be easier to make use of your knowledge of factoring:
8x = 8·11
x = 11
Or to make use of your knowledge of numbers (place value):
8·10 = 80
so x will not be very different from 10.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You are to make 5 assemblies.
Each assembly requires the use of 1 Type A bolt.
To make the 5 assemblies, you need 5 Type A bolts.
The container of bolts has a total of 60 bolts.
The focus - Type A bolts - is 20 out of this 60.
The probability of obtaining a Type A bolt at all, is 20/60, which is = 1/3
(A) What is the probability of taking the exact number of Type A bolts you need for your 5 assemblies, if you randomly take 10 bolts from the container?
- The exact number of Type A bolts you need for the 5 assemblies is 5
1/3 × 5/10 = 5/30 = 1/6 = 0.167
(B) What is the probability of taking/having less than 5 Type A bolts out of the randomly selected 10 bolts? The solution is to sum up the following:
1/3 × 4/10 = 0.133
1/3 × 3/10 = 0.1
1/3 × 2/10 = 0.067
1/3 × 1/10 = 0.033
1/3 × 0/10 = 0
TOTAL = 0.333
