Which of the following is the solution set of the given equation? (x - 3) - 2(x + 6) = -5

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: x=−10

Step-by-step explanation:

x−3−2(x+6)=−5

x+−3+(−2)(x)+(−2)(6)=−5(Distribute)

x+−3+−2x+−12=−5

(x+−2x)+(−3+−12)=−5(Combine Like Terms)

−x+−15=−5

−x−15=−5

−x−15+15=−5+15

−x=10

A candy company claims that 20% of the candies in its bags are colored green. Steve buys 30 bags of 30 candies, randomly selects

Allisa [31]

Answer:

The probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is 0.50502.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denote the number of green candies.

The probability of green candies is, p = 0.20.

Steve buys 30 bags of 30 candies, randomly selects one candy from each, and counts the number of green candies.

So, n = 30 candies are randomly selected.

All the candies are independent of each other.

The random variable X follows a binomial distribution with parameter n = 30 and p = 0.20.

It is provided that if there are 5, 6, or 7 green candies, Steve will conclude that the company’s claim is correct.

Compute the probability of 5, 6 and 7 green candies as follows:

$P(X=5)={30\choose 5}(0.20)^{5}(1-0.20)^{30-5}=0.17228\\\\P(X=6)={30\choose 6}(0.20)^{6}(1-0.20)^{30-6}=0.17946\\\\P(X=7)={30\choose 7}(0.20)^{7}(1-0.20)^{30-7}=0.15328$

Then the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is:

P (Accepting the claim) = P (X = 5) + P (X = 6) + P (X = 7)

= 0.17228 + 0.17946 + 0.15328

= 0.50502

Thus, the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is 0.50502.

A restaurant manager can spend at most $400 a day for operating costs and payroll. It costs $100 each day to operate the bank an

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The restaurant Manager can afford 6 employees for the day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Manager can spend at most of $400.

Total Money ≤ $400

Cost to operate bank = $100

Cost for each employee = $50

Let number of employees for the day be $x$

Hence the equation will become;

$50x + 100 \leq 400$

Solving this equation we get;

$50x + 100 \leq 400\\50x \leq 400-100\\50x \leq 300\\x\leq \frac{300}{50}\\\\x\leq 6$

Hence, The restaurant Manager can afford 6 employees for the day.
