Answer:

y=0.20

Step-by-step explanation:

-6y+5=29y-2 Carry the -6 over to the 29.

5=35y-2 Carry the -2 over to the 5.

7=35y

y=0.20

CHECK: -6(0.20)+5=29(0.20)-2

-1.2+5= 5.8-2

3.8=3.8

Answer:

y = 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

-6y + 5 = 29y + -2

Reorder the terms:

5 + -6y = 29y + -2

Reorder the terms:

5 + -6y = -2 + 29y

Solving

5 + -6y = -2 + 29y

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-29y' to each side of the equation.

5 + -6y + -29y = -2 + 29y + -29y

Combine like terms: -6y + -29y = -35y

5 + -35y = -2 + 29y + -29y

Combine like terms: 29y + -29y = 0

5 + -35y = -2 + 0

5 + -35y = -2

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.

5 + -5 + -35y = -2 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0

0 + -35y = -2 + -5

-35y = -2 + -5

Combine like terms: -2 + -5 = -7

-35y = -7

Divide each side by '-35'.

y = 0.2

Simplifying

y = 0.2

How much interest is earned on a principal of $2.58 invested at an interest rate of 5% for four years?

pochemuha

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is

prt = I, where p is the initial investment, r is the interest rate in decimal form, t is the time it's invested for, and I is the interest earned. We multiply the p, the r, and the t together to get I. For us that looks like this:

(2.58)(.05)(4) = I and

I = .516 or 52 cents.

There are three motors available to repair Ralph’s vacuum cleaner. Motor #1 has a 65% chance of breaking by the end of the week.

Orlov [11]

Answer:

0.619

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question we have the following data:

probability of motor 1 breaking = 65% = 0.65

probability of motor 2 breaking = 35% = 0.35

probability of motor 3 breaking = 5% = 0.05

since we have 3 motors the probability of any of them breaking down is = $\frac{1}{3}$

but what the question requires from us is the conditional probability of the first one being installed

we have to solve this questions using bayes theorem

such that:

$\frac{0.65*\frac{1}{3} }{0.65*\frac{1}{3}+0.35*\frac{1}{3}+0.05*\frac{1}{3} }$

= $\frac{0.2167}{0.2167+0.1167+0.0167}$

= $\frac{0.2167}{0.3501}$

= 0.618966

approximately 0.619

therefore the conditional probability ralph installed the first motor is 0.619

Rob coloured 1/4 of a rectangle .what is another way to name 1/4?

mixas84 [53]

another way to name 1/4 is a quarter because 1/4 of 100 is 25 %, so that's why it is called a quarter.

hopefully this helps you :)
