X is the short piece
(3•x-1)+x=31
4x=31+1
X=32/4=8
Short piece is 8
Long piece is 3•8-1=23
Check 8+23=31 ✔️
To add the probabilities, you would have to treat them like any other numbers. If they are decimals or percents, you can follow basic addition rules. If you are given the probabilities as fractions, make sure that you have common denominators when you add them.
2² - y - 5 = 0
Evaluate the power.
4 - y - 5 = 0
Calculate the sum or difference.
-1 - y = 0
Move constant to the right side and change its sign.
-y = 1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation.
y = -1
I am honestly not sure about this answer... try Khan Academy. Or, try breaking it down into steps.
I hope this helped... sorry about that. I will try this concept soon. :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The radius of a circle is always half the radius.
Thus, in this case, the radius is (1/2)(34 in) = 17 in.
The "how far" question is answerable by finding the circumference of the wheel. The circumference, C, is found by calculating C = πd, where d is the diameter of the circle in question.
Here, C = (34 in)π, which comes out to 106.81 inches. The bike will move 106.81 inches forward if the wheel turns once.
If the wheel turns 5 times, the total distance traveled is 5 times the circumference, or 5(106.81 in) = 534.07 in.
