Answer: x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x + 8 = -4

Subtract 8 on both sides

2x + 8 - 8 = -4 - 8

2x = -12

Divide 2 on both sides

2x / 2 = -12 / 2

x = -6

NOTE: I assume the questions "solve for c" actually means "solve for x"

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions

Alex and Ben were given a total of £240 They shared the money in the ratio 5:7

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Ben received: £140

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount = £240

Given ratio: 5:7

It means £240 is divided into 12 parts

So 1 part will be equal to: £240/12

1 part = £20

Now given ratio is:

5:7

Multiplying each share with £20

5*(£20) : 7* (£20)

£100: £140

So according to ratio amounts:

Alex received: £100

Ben received: £140

I hope it will help you!

The time between arrivals of customers at the drive-up window of a bank follows an exponential probability distribution with a m

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

a) 50.34% probability that the arrival time between customers will be 7 minutes or less.

b) 24.42% probability that the arrival time between customers will be between 3 and 7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

$f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}$

In which $\mu = \frac{1}{m}$ is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

$P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx$

Which has the following solution:

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

$P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}$

Mean of 10 minutes:

This means that $m = 10, \mu = \frac{1}{10} = 0.1$

A. What is the probability that the arrival time between customers will be 7 minutes or less?

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

$P(X \leq 7) = 1 - e^{-0.1*7} = 0.5034$

50.34% probability that the arrival time between customers will be 7 minutes or less.

B. What is the probability that the arrival time between customers will be between 3 and 7 minutes?

$P(3 \leq X \leq 7) = P(X \leq 7) - P(X \leq 3)$

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

$P(X \leq 7) = 1 - e^{-0.1*7} = 0.5034$

$P(X \leq 3) = 1 - e^{-0.1*3} = 0.2592$

$P(3 \leq X \leq 7) = P(X \leq 7) - P(X \leq 3) = 0.5034 - 0.2592 = 0.2442$

24.42% probability that the arrival time between customers will be between 3 and 7 minutes

What is that product of 2x + y and 5x -y + 3

poizon [28]

Answer:

10x² + 6x + 3xy + 3y - y²

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, as shown

(2x + y)(5x - y + 3)

= 2x(5x - y + 3) + y(5x - y + 3) ← distributing

= 10x² - 2xy + 6x + 5xy - y² + 3y ( collect like terms )

= 10x² + 6x + 3xy + 3y - y²
