The correct answer is : Step 3: He should have divided both sides by -5 because in order to isolate x from -5x, you must divide its coefficient, which is -5. Dividing 5 from both sides leaves -1x or -x.
Answer: Both trains would meet at 1 pm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t represent the time at which both trains will pass each other.
The distance between the cities is 360 miles. This means that by the time both trains meet, the total distance covered would be 360 miles.
Distance = speed × time
The freight train is travelling at 50 mph. Distance covered by the freight train in t hours is 50t.
The passenger train is travelling at 70 mph. Distance covered by the passenger train in t hours is 70t.
Since the total distance covered is 360 miles, it means that
50t + 70t = 360
120t = 360
t = 360/120
t = 3 hours
Both trains would meet at 1 pm
Answer: the following are required for IV-3 to have condition
Explanation:
-II-4 passes an X b chromosome to III-4 (probability = 1/2).
-If III-4 has the genotype X B X b (accounted for by the above probability), then she passes an X b chromosome to IV-3 (probability = 1/2).
-III-5 passes a Y chromosome to IV-3 (probability = 1/2).
All of these requirements are needed in sequence, so you apply the product rule here, too (1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8).
Once the individual probabilities are known, the sum and/or product rules can be used for various combinations (both conditions, either condition, etc.).
Answer: $22.12
Step-by-step explanation:
I just did the compound interest formula which is
starting amount * (1. interst rate) ^ number of years
example if you have 100$ and you want to know how much it is worth if it appretiates by 7% of a period of 20 years it would look something like this;
100 * (1.10) ^20 = 672.74$
but since you have to figure out what it was in 2008 which was exactly half way in the period you divide the exponent by half so your formula should be;
I know the answer is right because I asked my teacher and it's correct.
REAL EXAMPLE: 18 * (1.51) ^.5 = 22.12$
