The answer is x = -3.8.
Step 1: add 7+3 (2x+10=-3x=9)
Step 2: add 3 to each side of the equation (5x+10=-9)
Step 3: subtract 10 from each side of the equation (5x=-19)
Step 4: divide by 5 on each side of the equation (x=-3.8)
Initial value: 1, rate of change 3 over 5.
Before we calculate we can use some common sence thinknig to narrow down the choices. We know that Robert is gonig DOWN the hill, so it doesnt make sence that he woudl have a positive rate of change (i.e. the number feet up the hill he is is decreasing, not increasing) So right away, A & B are clearly wrong.
If we look at the last two (C & D) we can see that if -460 were right after 10 minutes he would have walked down 4,600 feet. This is WAY more that the total height of the hill and so can't be correct.
So C must be correct.
We can check this with some simple math:
Answer:
Therefore, the probability is P=0.74.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that Jose estimates that if he leaves his car parked outside his office all day on a weekday, the chance that he will get a parking ticket is 26%.
Therefore the probability that he will get a parking ticket is P1=0.26.
We calculate the probability that he will not get a parking ticket.
We get:
P=1-P1
P=1-0.26
P=0.74
Therefore, the probability is P=0.74.
Answer: 1/70
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a question that can also be interpreted as what is the probability of having the first number of a phone number to be 8 and the last number of the phone number to also be 8. This answer gives the fraction of the phone numbers that starts with 8 and end with 8.
Since three numbers (0,1,2) cannot start a phone number and we are left to pick from 7 numbers,
then the probability of figure "8" starting phone number = 1/7
Since all 10 numbers can possibly end a phone number,
then the probability of having figure "8" as the last digit of a phone number = 1/10
Hence probability of having "8" as the first and last digit of a phone number = fraction of total telephone numbers that begin with digit 8 and end with digit 8 = 1/7 × 1/10 = 1/70.
