Katarina [22]3 years ago

Answer:

I solution; x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation and then isolating the variable

3(x+2)= 2x+14

Distributive Property

3x+6=2x+14

Isolate the variable

3x+6-6=2x+14-6 which is 3x=2x+8

3x-2x=2x-2x+8

x=8

A. The pair of linear equations are: x + y = 55 and y = x + 25

B. Number of time she spend running everyday is: 15 minutes.

C. It is not possible.

<h3>How to Write a System of Linear Equations?</h3>

A system of equations consist of linear equations that have unknown variables whose values make the linear equations in the system true.

<u>Part A:</u> To write a pair of linear equations, do the following,

Let x represent the time Jackie runs

Let y represent the time Jackie dances

We are given that, Jackie runs and dances for a total of 55 minutes every day, therefore, the first linear equation would be:

x + y = 55 --> equation 1

We are also given that Jackie dances for 25 minutes longer than she runs, therefore, the second linear equation would be:

y = x + 25 --> equation 2

Therefore, the two pair of linear equations that shows the relationship between the number of minutes Jackie runs and dances everyday are:

x + y = 55

y = x + 25

Part B: Substitute y = (x + 25) into equation 1

x + y = 55 --> equation 1

x + x + 25 = 55

2x + 25 = 55

2x = 55 - 25

2x = 30

x = 15

Therefore, the number of time she spend running everyday is: 15 minutes.

Part C:

If she spent 45 minutes dancing (y = 45), and x = 15, substitute the values into x + y = 55 to find out if it is possible.

15 + 45 = 55

60 = 55 (not true)

Therefore, it is not possible.

Answer:

question A: 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

For question A: the percentage is ( enroll(2014) - enrol(2012) ) / enrol(2012) for that is 0.5 = 50%, same method for the other questions

A production process is known to produce a particular item in such a way that 5 percent of these are defective. If two items are

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

0.0025 = 0.25% probability that both are defective

Step-by-step explanation:

For each item, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are defective, or they are not. Items are independent of each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
