Answer:

7/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Odds against = number of failures / number of successes

So number of failures = 9 and the number of successes = 7.

Probability = number of successes / number of total events

P = 7 / (7 + 9)

P = 7/16

➷ Substitute -3 into g(x)

g(-3) = 2(-3) + 4

Solve:

g(x) = -2

Substitute this value into f(x)

f(-2) = 3(-2)^2

Solve:

f(-2) = 12

The answer is B. 12

Use a system of equations to solve this problem. Dr. Graham currently has two acid solutions. She only has a 60% acid solution a
Natalka [10]
<span>Dr. Graham currently has two acid solutions.
60% acid AND 20% acid </span>
Dr. Graham needs 30 L of a 50% acid solution
We set up 2 equations in which s = 60% acid and t = 20% acid
A) s + t = 30
B) .60s + .20t = (.50 * 30)
We multiply equation A by -.20
A) = -.20s -.20t = -6 then we add it to B)
B) .60s + .20t = 15
.40s = 9
s = 22.5
t = 7.5
So, she needs to mix 22.5 liters of 60% acid with 7.5 liters of 20% acid.

A 24-foot ladder is placed against a vertical wall of a building, with the bottom of the ladder standing on level ground 6 feet
andrezito [222]

Answer:

23.24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c², where a and b are legs of the right triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

In this situation, the ladder is the hypotenuse of the triangle, and the distance from the base of the building is the long leg.

Plug in the ladder length as c and plug in the distance from the base of the building as a:

a² + b² = c²

(6²) + b² = (24)²

36 + b² = 576

b² = 540

b = 23.24

So, the ladder reaches approximately 23.24 feet up the wall
