Answer:

a=-36

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6(a+12)=-4

1) Distribute <u>1/6</u> to a and 12:

1/6a+2=-4

2) Subtract 2 from both sides:

1/6a=-6

3) Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/6: (6/1)

a=-36

Let me know if you have any confusion on how I reached the solution :)

If 15 actuators have failed today, what is the probability that a) at least 10 are repairable? b) from 3 to 8 are repairable? c)
Ann [662]

The probabilities of at least 10 are repairable is 1/3. and probabilities of from 3 to 8 are repairable is 1/5*8/15 and probabilities of exactly 5 are repairable is 1/3.

According to the statement

we have given that If 15 actuators have failed and we have to find the probabilities on some conditions.

we know that the formula of probabilities is

probability = possible outcomes / total outcomes

So,

  • at least 10 are repairable = 1 - (10 are not repairable)

at least 10 are repairable = 1 - 10/15

at least 10 are repairable = (15 - 10)/15

at least 10 are repairable = (5)/15

at least 10 are repairable = 1/3

  • from 3 to 8 are repairable = 3/15 *8/15

from 3 to 8 are repairable = 1/5 *8/15

  • exactly 5 are repairable = 5/15

exactly 5 are repairable = 1/3

These are the probabilities of the given conditions.

So, The probabilities of at least 10 are repairable is 1/3. and probabilities of from 3 to 8 are repairable is 1/5*8/15 and probabilities of exactly 5 are repairable is 1/3.

Explain or show work to prove that the following equation is true.6 x 8 = 3 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove the equation id true, solve both sides and if they are equal then the equation is true.

left side = 6 × 8 = 48

right side = 3 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

               = 6 × 2 × 2 × 2

              = 12 × 2 × 2

              = 24 × 2

=             = 48

Since both sides are equal then the equation is true
