Answer:

4. Infinitely many

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3(x − 1) = 10x − 2x − 3

5x+3x-3=8x-3

5x+3x-8x=3-3

0=0

x∈R

PLEASE HELP QUICK!!! A bowl has 85 pieces of candy. Nineteen children empty the bowl of candy. Some children take 3 pieces, some

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer: 3 kids take 3 pieces of candy each

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of children that took 3 pieces is x ( total take 3*x pieces of candy)

Number of children that took 5 pieces is y ( total take 5*y pieces of candy)

1 child took 1 piece that actually means that x+y=18 and 3*x+5*y=84.

( Because total number of all kids is 19. We just deduct one kid (Let his name is John) who took only 1 candy. So we have 19-1 =18 kids without John. The similar is with the candies. Total number is 85. We deduct 1 piece which John has taken. )

So we have 2 equations or the system of 2 equations:

1). x+y=18

2). 3*x +5*y=84

Multuply both sides of equation 1) by 3

We have 3*x+3*y=18*3

Deduct 3*y from both sides of this equation

3*x+3*y-3*y=54-3*y

3*x=54-3*y

Substitute 3*x in equation 2). by 54-3*y

2) 54-3*y+5*y=84

2*y=30

y=15 ( kids take 5 pieces of candy each)

Using equation 1) find x

x+15=18

x=3 (kids take 3 pieces of candy each)

Answer:

The approximated length of EF is 2.2 units ⇒ A

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The tangent ratio in the right triangle is the ratio between the opposite side to the adjacent side of one of the acute angle in the triangle</em>

In the given figure

∵ The triangle DFE has a right angle F

∵ The opposite side to angle D is EF

∵ The adjacent side to angle D is DF

→ By using the tangent ratio above

∴ tan(∠D) = $\frac{EF}{DF}$

∵ DF = 6 units

∵ m∠D = 20°

→ Substitute then in the ratio above

∴ tan(20°) = $\frac{EF}{6}$

→ Multiply both sides by 6

∴ 6 tan(20°) = EF

∴ 2.183821406 = EF

→ Approximate it to the nearest tenth

∴ 2.2 = EF

∴ The approximated length of EF is 2.2 units

The probability of drawing a heart from a standard deck of cards is 0.25. You record the car do you draw and return the car befo

Licemer1 [7]

Answer: C) 0.112

Step-by-step explanation:

In binomial distribution with parameters n (Total trails) and p (probability of getting success sin each trial) , the probability of getting success in x trials is given by :-

$P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

Given : The probability of drawing a heart from a standard deck of cards is 0.25

Here , getting heart is the success.

Then p= 0.25

For n= 20

The probability that you will draw a heart seven times i.e. x= 7:

$P(X=7)=^{20}C_7(0.25)^7(1-0.25)^{20-7}$

$P(X=7)=\dfrac{20!}{7!(20-7)!}(0.25)^7(1-0.25)^{20-7}\ \ [\because\ ^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}]$

$=\dfrac{20\times19\times18\times17\times16\times15\times14\times13!}{7!13!}(0.25)^7(0.75)^{13}\\\\=77520(0.00006103515625)(0.0237572640181)\\\\=0.112406195476\approx0.112$

Hence, the probability that you will draw a heart seven times = 0.112

Thus , the correct answer is C) 0.112 .
