Answer:

x = -2.3

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 1.3 = -7.9

First we want to combine the like terms.

Subtract 1.3 from both sides.

4x = -9.2

Now we want to isolate x by dividing both sides by 4.

x = -2.3

Check your answer by plugging x back into the original equation.

4x + 1.3 = -7.9

4(-2.3) + 1.3 = -7.9

Multiply.

-9.2 + 1.3 = -7.9

Add.

-7.9 = -7/9

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 1.3 = - 7.9

4x = - 7.9 - 1.3

4x = - 9.2

x = - 9.2/4

= - 2.3

2x+3y=15<br> x+y=6<br> work out the values of x and y

Anna [14]

Answer:

x=3

y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 6-y

-plug in (6-y) into first equation

2(6-y)+3y = 15

12-2y+3y=15

-2y+3y = 3

y=3

x=6-3

x=3

double check:

(2*3) + (3*3) = 6 + 9 = 15

3 + 3 = 6

A lottery game has balls numbered 1 through 21. What is the probability of selecting an even numbered ball or an 8? Round to nea

Viktor [21]

Answer: 0.476

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A = Event of choosing an even number ball.

B = Event of choosing an 8 .

Given, A lottery game has balls numbered 1 through 21.

Sample space: S= {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,...., 21}

n(S) = 21

Then, A= {2,4,6,8, 10,...(20)}

i.e. n(A)= 10

B= {8}

n(B) = 1

A∪B = {2,4,6,8, 10,...(20)} = A

n(A∪B)=10

Now, the probability of selecting an even numbered ball or an 8 is

$P(A\cup B)=\dfrac{n(A\cup B)}{n(S)}$

$=\dfrac{10}{21}\approx0.476$

Hence, the required probability =0.476

Which of the following comparisons is correct?<br>-2 2<br>4<−4<br>−6< −5

zlopas [31]

<h3>Answer: Choice D) -6 < -5</h3>

================================================

Explanation:

Let's go through the answer choices

A) This is false because -2 is actually larger than -5. Make a number line and you'll see that -2 is to the right of -5. Numbers on the right are larger than numbers on the left.
B) This is also false. The value 0 is smaller than 2. A number line might help show this.
C) Also false. It should be 4 > -4. Any positive number is always larger than any negative number.
D) This is true. On a number line, -6 is to the left of -5, so -6 is smaller than -5. This makes -6 < -5 a true statement.
