RT = RS + ST
60 = 3x -16 + 4x -8
60 = 7x - 24
84 = 7x
84/7 = 7x/7
12 = x

RS = 3x - 16
RS = 3(12) - 16
RS = 36 - 16
RS = 20

Allisa [31]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x=9

Divide both sides by 3 and you get 1x=3 or basically x=3.

So the answer would be x=3.

Suppose an airline accepted 12 reservations for a commuter plane with 10seats. They know that 7 reservations went to regular com

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

<h2>See the explanation.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

7 persons will show up for sure, hence there is not any kind of probability here.

The other 5 persons have 50% chance to show up.

The flight will be overbooked, if either 4 will come or 5 will come.

From the total 5 persons, 4 can be chosen in $^5C_4 = 5$ ways.

The probability that any four among the 5 will come is $5\times(\frac{50}{100} )^{5} = 5\times(\frac{1}{2} )^{5} = \frac{5}{32}$ .

The probability that all of the 5 passengers will come is $\frac{1}{32}$ .

Hence, the required probability is $\frac{5}{32} + \frac{1}{32} = \frac{6}{32} = \frac{3}{16}$ .

(b)

The probability that there will be exactly 10 passengers on the flight is $^5C_3\times (\frac{1}{2} )^5 = \frac{20}{2} \times\frac{1}{32} = \frac{10}{32} = \frac{5}{16}$ .

The probability that there will be no empty seats in the plane is $\frac{3}{16} + \frac{5}{16} = \frac{1}{2}$ .

Hence, probability of having empty seats is $1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$ .

Select the correct answer. Consider the function f(x) = 3x and the function g, which is shown below. How will the graph of g dif

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The graph of g is the graph of f shifted up by 3 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the graph of a function r with real numbers k and h.

Transformation Effect

r(x) + k shifts the graph up k units

r(x) - k shifts the graph down k units

r(x + h) shifts the graph to the left h units

r(x - h) shifts the graph to the right h units

It is given that g(x) = f(x) + 3. Therefore, the graph of g is the graph of f shifted up by 3 units.
