Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+1)=x+5

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+1.

2x+2=x+5

Subtract x from both sides.

2x+2−x=5

Combine 2x and −x to get x.

x+2=5

Subtract 2 from both sides.

x=5−2

Subtract 2 from 5 to get 3.

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Ski

Event B: Snowboard.

28 out of 120 students ski:

This means that $P(A) = \frac{28}{120} = 0.2333$

16 out of 120 do both:

This means that $P(A \cap B) = \frac{16}{120} = 0.1333$

P ( snowboard I ski)

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.1333}{0.2333} = 0.5714$

P ( snowboard I ski) = 0.5714

Find xif 4; 4+2×;4+4× are in Geometric sequences

Ray Of Light [21]

Given:

$4,4+2x,4+4x$ are in geometric sequences.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

If a, b, c are in geometric sequences, then

$\dfrac{b}{a}=\dfrac{c}{b}$

$b^2=ac$ ...(i)

It is given that $4,4+2x,4+4x$ are in geometric sequences. By using (i), we get

$(4+2x)^2=(4)(4+4x)$

$4^2+2(4)(2x)+(2x)^2=(4)(4)+4(4x)$

$16+16x+4x^2=16+16x$

$4x^2=16+16x-16-16x$

On further simplification, we get

$4x^2=0$

$x^2=0$

$x=0$

Therefore, the value of x is 0.
