Answer:
Her final answer should have been x = 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Her 2 errors were that she didn't distribute the 2x to both 4 and -17 and that she made the 13 positive instead of negative when she added 4 and -17 together.
Correct solution:
8(x-3)+7=2x(4-17)
8x-24+7=8x-34x
-17=-34x
The negatives on both sides cancel each other out
x = 1/2
Answer:
the second value is ten times higher then the refference one
Answer:
y=2x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
well first you have to move the -8x to the other side where the -16 is. by doing so, the -8x will turn into a POSTIVE 8x. than your problem should look like (4y=8x-16). now that your problem is like that, you want "y" to be alone. so, you divide the 4 by every number. (so you would do 4y/4, 8x/4, and -16/4). than your final product would be: y=2x-4
The question given is incomplete, I googled and got the complete question as below:
You are a waterman daily plying the waters of Chesapeake Bay for blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus), the best-tasting crustacean in the world. Crab populations and commercial catch rates are highly variable, but the fishery is under constant pressure from over-fishing, habitat destruction, and pollution. These days, you tend to pull crab pots containing an average of 2.4 crabs per pot. Given that you are economically challenged as most commercial fishermen are, and have an expensive boat to pay off, you’re always interested in projecting your income for the day. At the end of one day, you calculate that you’ll need 7 legal-sized crabs in your last pot in order to break even for the day. Use these data to address the following questions. Show your work.
a. What is the probability that your last pot will have the necessary 7 crabs?
b. What is the probability that your last pot will be empty?
Answer:
a. Probability = 0.0083
b. Probability = 0.0907
Step-by-step explanation:
This is Poisson distribution with parameter λ=2.4
a)
The probability that your last pot will have the necessary 7 crabs is calculated below:
P(X=7)= {e-2.4*2.47/7!} = 0.0083
b)
The probability that your last pot will be empty is calculated as:
P(X=0)= {e-2.4*2.40/0!} = 0.0907
I believe the answer would be 50
explanation:
calculate
2 ÷ 5^-2
use negative power rule x^-a = 1/x^a
2 ÷ 1/5^2
simply 5^2 to 25
2 ÷ 1/25
use this rule a ÷ b/c = a • c/b
2 • 25
simplify
50
