-5(x-5)=2(-4x+5) find x step by step please

Mathematics
1 answer:
pychu [463]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(x-5)=2(-4x+5)

-5x + 25 = -8x +10

3x +25 = 10 (add 8 from both sides)

3x = -15 (subtract 25 from both sides)

x = -5 (divide 3 from both sides)

A bag contains Red, Green and Yellow balls. A ball is taken at random from the bag. The probability that it is Red is 0.35 and t
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

  • P(Yellow)=0.25
  • P(Not Red)=0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

P(Red)=0.35

P(Green)=0.4

(a)Since there are three colours inside the bag

P(Red)+P(Green)+P(Yellow)=1

0.35+0.4+P(Yellow)=1

P(Yellow)=1-(0.35+0.4)

P(Yellow)=0.25

(b) In probability, the sum of an event and its complement is 1.

Therefore:

P(Red)+P(Not Red)=1

0.35+P(Not Red)=1

P(Not Red)=1-0.35

P(Not Red)=0.65

Tickets for a dance recital cost $15 for adults and $7 for children. The dance company sold 253 tickets, and the total receipts
elixir [45]

Answer:

Adult tickets =125

Child tickets = 128

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult and children tickets sold be x and y respectively

So that

x+y= 253--------1

Since total sales/receipt is $2,771

And given that tickets for a dance recital cost $15 for adults and $7 for children hence

15x+7y= 2771-------2

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously we have

x+y= 253---------------1

15x+7y= 2771----------2

Let us multiply equation 1 by 15 to get equation 3 to eliminate x and subtract equation 2 from 3

15x+15y=3795---------3

-{15x+7y= 2771----------2

0+8y=1024

8y= 1024

y= 1024/8

y= 128 tickets

So solve for x let us put y= 128 in equation 1

x+ 128=253

x=253-128

x= 125 tickets

What is the volume of the cylinder below?
Svetlanka [38]

now, let's recall Cavalieri's Principle, "solids with equal altitudes and cross-sectional areas at each height, have the same volume".

so, even though this cylinder is slanted, it has the same cross-sectional area as a cylinder that's straight-up, whose altitude is h = 5, and radius r = 4.


\bf \textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\ V=\pi r^2 h~~ \begin{cases} h=5\\ r=4 \end{cases}\implies V=\pi (4)^2(5)\implies V=80\pi
