Answer: 55x + 75 = 350; 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

- A flat fee is $75

- John charges $55 an hour

- The total charge is $350

We need to write an equation to find how many hours John works.

<em>x </em>will represent hours worked.

55x + 75 = 350

We now need to solve for x.

Subtract 75 from both sides.

55x + 75 - 75 = 350 - 75

Simplify.

55x = 275

Divide 55 from both sides.

55x/55 = 275/55

Simplify.

x = 5

John worked 5 hours.

To check our work, we just plug in our x value!

55(5) + 75

275 + 75 = 350

If A and B are independent events with P(A) = .5 and P(B) = .2, find the following:a) P(A U B)b) P(A^c ? B^c)c) P(A^c U B^c)**No

Effectus [21]

If A and B are independent, then $P(A\cap B)=P(A)P(B)$ .

$P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A)P(B)$

$P(A\cup B)=0.5+0.2-0.5\cdot0.2$

$\boxed{P(A\cup B)=0.6}$

b. I'm guessing the ? is supposed to stand for intersection. We can use DeMorgan's law for complements here:

$P(A^c\cap B^c)=P(A\cup B)^c=1-P(A\cup B)$

$P(A^c\cap B^c)=1-0.6$

$\boxed{P(A^c\cap B^c)=0.4}$

c. DeMorgan's law can be used here too:

$P(A^c\cup B^c)=P(A\cap B)^c=1-P(A\cap B)=1-P(A)P(B)$

$P(A^c\cup B^c)=1-0.5\cdot0.2$

$\boxed{P(A^c\cup B^c)=0.9}$

Permiter math equation help pls

Anestetic [448]

First dont panic. this one is pretty easy.

you known that the perimeter is the addition of every sides of a figure.

you have the total perimeter : 84.6

so now you just have to withdraw every side you have to the total , and the missing measure will be the result.

have a try ! you can make it.
