Answer:

small number = -3

large number = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose two numbers are x and y

smaller number = x

larger number = y

Given that,

The difference of two numbers is 15

<h2>Equation 1</h2><h3>y - x  = 15</h3>

Five times the smaller is the same as 9 less than twice the larger.

<h2>Equation 2</h2><h3>5x = 9 - 2y</h3>

Solve them

-x = 15 - y

x = y -15

put value of x in equation 2

5(y - 15) = 9 - 2y

-75 + 5y = 9 - 2y

-75 - 9 = -2y - 5y

-84 =  -7y

y = 84/7

y = 12

x = 12 - 15

x = -3

Consider f(x) = 1.8x – 10 and g(x) = −4.
erastova [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The input value at which f(x) = g(x) can be found by setting the right sides of each of those equal to each other and solving for x.

1.8x - 10 = -4 and

1.8x = 6 so

x = 3 1/3

The bold equation is the answer to the first part, and the second part is that x = 3 1/3

Incorrect, 12.1.53
Ganezh [65]

0.442

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given that 11% of the lights are defective.

So probability of a light randomly chosen is defective is .11

This implies probability of a light randomly chosen is not defective is 1 - .11 = .89

Step 2 :

In a pack of 5 light bulbs the probability that none of them are defective is (0.89)^ 5

Hence the probability that at least one of the light bulbs is defective is

1-(0.89)^ 5  = 1 - 0.558 = 0.442
