The sum of two consecutive integers is 59. Write an equation that models this situation and find the values of two integers.

Set on of the numbers as x. The consecutive integer to it would be x+1 (or x-1, which ever one you like. I'm going to use x+1 though).

The sum would be

x + (x+1)

Set it equal to 59.

x+x+1=59
2x+1=59
2x=58
x=49

One integer is 49. The other integer, x+1, is 50.

Hope this helps!

25% of all who enters a race do not complete. 30 haveentered.

Answer:

The probability that exactly 5 are unable to complete the race is 0.1047

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 25% of all who enters a race do not complete.

30 have entered.

what is the probability that exactly 5 are unable to complete the race?

So, We will use binomial

Formula : $P(X=r) =^nC_r p^r q^{n-r}$

p is the probability of success i.e. 25% = 0.25

q is the probability of failure = 1- p = 1-0.25 = 0.75

We are supposed to find the probability that exactly 5 are unable to complete the race

n = 30

r = 5

$P(X=5) =^{30}C_5 (0.25)^5 (0.75)^{30-5}$

$P(X=5) =\frac{30!}{5!(30-5)!} \times(0.25)^5 (0.75)^{30-5}$

$P(X=5) =0.1047$

Hence the probability that exactly 5 are unable to complete the race is 0.1047

Rearrange the equation A = xy to solve for x.

mote1985 [20]

X = A/y
You divide the y from both sides
The y on the right cancels
On the left you have A/y = x

Write an equation of the line satisfying the given conditions. Through (2, -5), parallel to 5x 6y + 7

mojhsa [17]

We have to determine the equation of the line passing through the point (2,-5) and parallel to the line $5x = 6y+7$

When two lines are parallel, then the slopes of the two lines are equal.

Equation of line with point $(x_1, y_1)$ and slope 'm' is given by:

$(y-y_1) = m(x-x_1)$

Since, we have to determine the equation of a line with point (2,-5).

So, the equation of the line is : $(y-(-5)) = m(x-2)$

$y+5 = m(x-2)$

Since, the line is parallel to the line $5x = 6y+ 7$

So, $6y +7 = 5x$

$6y = 5x - 7$

$y = \frac{5}{6}x - \frac{7}{6}$

So, slope of the line 'm' is $\frac{5}{6}$ .

Therefore, the equation of the line is:

$(y+5) = \frac{5}{6}(x-2)$

$6y + 30 = 5x - 10$

$6y - 5x = -10-30$

$6y - 5x = -40$

Therefore, $6y - 5x = -40$ is the required equation of the line.
