Answer:
The number is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
certain positive number: x
x is multipled by 4:
4x
result of this is subtracted from the original number:
so original number minus 4x,
x - 4x
the result is 21 less than 0, this means negative 21
x - 4x = 0 - 21 = -21
do algebra:
-3x = -21
multiply both sides by -1
3x = 21
divide both sides by 3
x=7
(certain positive number: x) is equal to 7
I encountered this problem before but it had an accompanying image and list of answer choices.
I'll attach the image and include the list of options.
Each unit on the grid stands for one mile. Determine two ways to calculate the distance from Josie's house to Annie's house.
A) Distance Formula and Slope Formula
B) Midpoint Formula and Slope Formula
C) Distance Formula and Midpoint Formula
<span>D) Distance Formula and Pythagorean Theorem
</span>
My answer is: D.) Distance formula and Pythagorean Theorem.
When looking at the image, I can visualize a right triangle. I'll simply get the measure of the long and short legs and solve for the hypotenuse.
Since the distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem, it can be used to determine the distance from Josie's house to Annie's house.
Using it's concept, it is found that there is a 0.001 = 0.1% probability that he will forget to brush his teeth three days in a row.
<h3>What is a probability?</h3>
A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.
In this problem, for each day, there is a 0.1 probability that he forgers to brush his teeth, and days are independent, hence for 3 consecutive days the probability is given by:
p = (0.1)³ = 0.001.

Answer:
I believe it would be B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Range: area of variation with real numbers
Also, seeing the quadrant it is in means there are negative numbers. This takes out the possibility of option A.
This inequality is true doll!!
