Answer:

x = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

So the equation looks like this:

2X -3 =12

So we are first going to get rid of -3 by adding 3 to both sides of the equal sign:

2X -3 = 12

+ 3 +3

SO the equation looks like this now:

2x = 15

Now we are going to segregate the variable x by dividing 2x and 15 by 2:

2x/2 = 15/2

x = 7.5

So in order to check our work we are going to substitute 7.5 where the x variable is in the equation:

2X -3 =12 or 2(7.5) - 3 = 12

2(7.5) - 3 = 12

15 - 3 = 12

12 = 12

So our answer to what the variable x equals is 7.5.

I hope this helps you!!

hram777 [196]

The probability of a success on each roll of the coin that is filipped by Dion is 0.5.

<h3>What is the probability?</h3>

Probability is the likelihood that a stated event would occur. The odds the event occurs is 1 and the odds that the event does not happen is 0. If a coin is flipped, there is 50% chance of getting either a head or a tail.

What is the average rate of change of the function on the interval from x = 1 to x = 2?

neonofarm [45]

x=1 f = 10(5.5)(1) = 55

x=2, f = 10(5.5)(2) = 110

110-55 = 55

2-1 =1

55/1 = 55

average rate of change = 55

Kristie has taken five tests in science class. The average of all five of Kristie's test scores is 94. The average of her last t

Bingel [31]

Answer: The average of the first two test scores is 97.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Kristie has taken five tests in science class. The average of all five of Kristie's test scores is 94 and the average of her last three test scores is 92.

We are to find the average score of her first two tests.

Let a1, a2, a3, a4 and a5 be teh scores of Kristle in first , second, third, fourth and fifth tests respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$\dfrac{a1+a2+a3+a4+a5}{5}=94\\\\\Rightarrow a1+a2+a3+a4+a5=94\times5\\\\\Rightarrow a1+a2+a3+a4+a5=470~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

and

$\dfrac{a3+a4+a5}{3}=92\\\\\Rightarrow a3+a4+a5=92\times3\\\\\Rightarrow a3+a4+a5=276~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)$

Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get

$(a1+a2+a3+a4+a5)-(a3+a4+a5)=470-276\\\\\Rightarrow a1+a2=194\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a1+a2}{2}=\dfrac{194}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a1+a2}{2}=97.$

Thus, the average of the first two test scores is 97.
