Answer:

$- 7 < (3x + 2) < 14 \\ \\ = \: \: - 7 - 2 < 3x < 14 - 2 \\ \\ = \: \: - 9 < 3x < 12 \\ \\ = \: \: \frac{ - 9}{3} < \frac{3x}{3} < \frac{12}{3} \\ \\ = { \boxed{ \boxed{ - 3 < x < 4}}}$

Answer:

-3<x<4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the double inequality -7<3x+2<14 and we want to solve it.

If we have a double inequality and we want to do something (like subtract 3), then we must subtract 3 from the left side, middle, and right side.

An example would be with the inequality 1<x+3<5

In order to isolate x, we'll subtract 3 from the center. However, we'll also be needing to subtract 3 from the left (1-3) and the right (5-3)

Hence,

1<x+3<5

-3 -3 -3

___________

-2<x<2

In our problem then, we'll be subtracting 2 from EVERY side.

-7<3x+2<14

-2 -2 -2

________________

-9 < 3x < 12

Now in order to isolate x, we'll divide by 3, which once again, we divide on EVERY side

-3<x<4

Hope this helps!

Urn 1 contains 3 blue tokens and 2 red tokens; urn 2 contains 2 blue tokens and 4 red tokens. All tokens are indistinguishable.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

RR = 0.4

RB = 0.3

BB = 0.22

BR = 0.30

Step-by-step explanation:

P( Urn 1 ) = 2/6 = 1/3

P( Urn 2 ) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

Urn 1 contains : 3 blue and 2 red

P( blue | urn 1 ) = 3/5 ( with replacement ) , P( blue | urn 1 ) = 3/4 ( without replacement )

P( red | urn 1 ) = 2 / 5 ( with replacement ) , P(red | urn 1 ) = 1/2 ( without replacement )

Urn 2 contains : 2 blue and 4 red

P ( blue | urn 2 ) = 1/3 ( with replacement ) , P( blue | urn 2 ) = 2/5 ( without replacement )

P ( red | urn 2 ) = 2/3 ( with replacement) , P( red | urn 2 ) = 4/5 ( without replacement )

Determine

<u>i) Possible outcomes when two tokens are drawn from either Urn without replacement </u>

RR = [[ ( 2/5 * 1/3 ) + ( 2/3 * 2/3 ) ] * [( 1/2 * 1/3 ) + ( 4/5 * 2/3 ) ]] = 0.4

RB = [[ (2/5 * 1/3 ) + ( 2/3 * 2/3 ) ] * [ ( 3/4 *1/3 ) + ( 2/5 * 2/3 ) ]] ≈ 0.3

BB = [[ ( 3/5 * 1/3 ) + ( 1/3 * 2/3 ) ] * [ ( 3/4 *1/3 ) + ( 2/5 * 2/3 ) ]] ≈ 0.22

BR = [[ ( 3/5 * 1/3 ) + ( 1/3 * 2/3 ) ] * [ ( 1/2 * 1/3 ) + ( 4/5 * 2/3 ) ]] ≈ 0.30

How do you solve what is 30% of $240

DerKrebs [107]

The Answer would be x=72. Why? Because $\frac{x}{240} = \frac{30}{100}. Fraction \frac{30}{100}$ is your %. You Cross multiply 240 * 30 = 100x
240 time 30 = 7200. you want x to be alone so you do 7200 divided by 100 equaling 72. So you get x=72.

Here is an expression 3.2 evaluate the expression when t is 4 middle school math

Alik [6]

Answer: Answer: C. 3.2 × 10^4

Step-by-step explanation: for this case the multiplication of the values with exponent are summed, as the exponent are the 6 and -3

6 - 3 = 3

this will be the exponent of the common value which is the 10.

after you only need to multiply 8 and 4 by separate the

8 * 4 = 32.

then we only need to place the values one by one

32 × 10^3

3 is the result of the sum of the exponent.

10 is the common value.

32 is the result of the product.

if we add another zero to the multiplication we get 3.2 and exponent finish with one more zero, then we get this result

3.2 × 10^4

because of that the C is the correct answer, keep in mind that the other answers do not apply correctly the rule of the exponent, because the rest of answer give us wrong answer with final result of the exponent.
