Answer:
4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To the power of negative one just means 1 divided by and 1 divided by 3/4 is just 4/3
<h3>
Answer: Choice A) 0.20</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
Let's say there are 1000 students. The students must take math, science or they can take both simultaneously.
- 65% of them are in math. So there are 0.65*1000 = 650 math students.
- 43% are in science, leading to 0.43*1000 = 430 science students.
- 13% are in both so we have 0.13*1000 = 130 students who are in both.
Now onto the sentence that says "Suppose a high school student who is enrolled in a math class is selected at random"
This means we only focus on the 650 math students and ignore the 1000-650 = 350 students who aren't in math.
Of those 650 math students, 130 are also in science (since 130 are in both classes).
The probability we're after is therefore 130/650 = 0.20

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>
7(2x - 5) = 21
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute 7: 2x - 5 = 3
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: 2x = 8
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = 4
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 7(2(4) - 5) = 21
- Multiply: 7(8 - 5) = 21
- Subtract: 7(3) = 21
- Multiply: 21 = 21
Here we see that 21 does indeed equal 21.
∴ x = 4 is the solution to the equation.
For each part A through D below, the idea is to find the common factor between the terms, which you'll then use the distributive property to pull out.
==================================
Part A
3x + 18 = 3(x+6)
Note how we pulled out a 3. If we distribute it back in, we end up with 3x+18 again. The other problems are done in a similar fashion
==================================
Part B
2x - 14 = 2(x - 7)
==================================
Part C
6x + 4 = 2(3x + 2)
==================================
Part D
9x - 15 = 3(3x - 5)
