Which describes the first step in solving the equation 4x - 7 = -15?

Mathematics

GalinKa [24]3 years ago

7 0

Answer:

Add 7 to both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

You would need to add 7 to both sides to cancel out the 7 on the right side of the equation to get x one step closer to being by itself.

Then you would get 4x = -8.

Next divide by 4 on both sides to get x by itself so do the inverse operation of what 4 was doing to x.

x = -2

Determine the written description of the complement of the given event. When 13 computers are shipped, at least one of them is

julsineya [31]

Answer:

A. None of them are defective

True that's equivalent since none defective means 0 defective

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have a total of 13 computers and we define the event:

E= "At least one of them is defective"

When we say at last one means that can be 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 or 13

The complement for this case is E' ="None of them is defective"

Let's analyze one by one the possible options:

A. None of them are defective

True that's equivalent since none defective means 0 defective

B. None of them are free of defects

False thats note equivalent since that means all have defects and that's not the complement.

C. More than one of them are free of defects

False we are interested on the complement and on this case 1 or more defective is not the complement for this case.

D. All of them are defective

False the complement is defined as non of them defective and for this case is not the correct way.

Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

SSSSS [86.1K]

ANSWER

The correct answer is D.

$\sum_{n=1} ^{6} (n - 3) = ( - 2) + ( - 1) + (0) + (1) + (2) + (3) = 3$

EXPLANATION

The given expression is

$\sum_{n=1} ^{6} (n - 3)$

The symbol means summation.

So we need to substitute

$n=1,n=2,n=3,n=4,n=5, \:and\:n=6$

into the formula and add all to get,

$\sum_{n=1} ^{6} (n - 3) = (1 - 3) + (2 - 3) + (3- 3) + (4 - 3) + (5 - 3) + (6 - 3)$

We simplify to obtain,

$\sum_{n=1} ^{6} (n - 3) = ( - 2) + ( - 1) + (0) + (1) + (2) + (3) = 3$

The correct answer is D

In question 1, you found the cubes of both positive and negative numbers. Does x3 = 8 have two solutions as x2 = 4 does? Why or

Temka [501]

No it doesn’t. This is because if you have a negative number and multiply it by itself 3 times, you’ll still have a negative number (-1 times -1 times -1 is still -1). On the other hand, if you take a negative number and multiply it by itself twice (-1 times -1) you’ll have the answer that is positive (1).
