Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

3 - 2x = -1.5x

Step 2: Solve for x

Add 2x on both sides: 3 = 0.5x
Divide 0.5 on both sides: 6 = x
Rewrite: x = 6

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x: 3 - 2(6) = -1.5(6)
Multiply: 3 - 12 = -9
Subtract: -9 = -9

Here we see that -9 does indeed equal -9.

∴ x = 6 is the solution to the equation.

Answer:

x= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3-2x= -1.5x

-3 -3

-2x= -1.5x - 3

+1.5x +1.5x

-.5x= -3

divide both sides by -.5

x = 6

Suppose that your net income for the month is 1500 and that your total expenses are 2500 which statement is accurate?

mestny [16]

C. you have a deficit of 1000

Explanation:

We say that we have a surplus when the net income is more than the total expenses, while we say that we have a deficit when the net income is less than the total expenses.

In this case, the net income is 1500, which is less than the total expenses (2500): so, we have a deficit. In order to calculate the deficit, we can use the formula

deficit = total expenses - net income

Substituting the data of the problem, we find

deficit = 2500 - 1500 = 1000

The Washington, DC, region has one of the fastest-growing foreclosure rates in the nation, as 15,613 homes went into foreclosure

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

a) 0.6226 = 62.26% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure.

b) 0.7837 = 78.37% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure.

c) The proportion of foreclosures in the Nation is lower than in Washington, which means that with a sample size of 100, it is likely to have a small number(fewer than 2) of foreclosures than Washington DC.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each home, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it goes into foreclosure, or it does not. The probability of a home going into foreclosure is independent of other homes. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

a. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure?

The foreclosure rate is 1.31% for the Washington, DC area, which means that $p = 0.0131$

We wanto to find, with $n = 100$ :

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.0131)^{0}.(0.9869)^{100} = 0.2675$

$P(X = 1) = C_{100,1}.(0.0131)^{1}.(0.9869)^{99} = 0.3551$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.2675 + 0.3551 = 0.6226$

0.6226 = 62.26% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure.

b. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure?

Foreclosure rate of 0.87% for the nation, which means that $p = 0.0087$ . So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.0087)^{0}.(0.9913)^{100} = 0.4174$

$P(X = 1) = C_{100,1}.(0.0087)^{1}.(0.9913)^{99} = 0.3663$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.4174 + 0.3663 = 0.7837$

0.7837 = 78.37% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure.

c. Comment on the above findings.

The proportion of foreclosures in the Nation is lower than in Washington, which means that with a sample size of 100, it is likely to have a small number(fewer than 2) of foreclosures than Washington DC.
