Answer:
x = -19
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both sides of the equation by -9.
x - 26 = -45
Add 26 to both sides.
x - 26 + 26 = -45 + 26
x = -19
The probability of getting 0 heads in 4 tosses (or equivalently, 4 tails) is
.
So the desired probability is
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
When you match the form
... ax² + bx + c = 0
to the equation
... 3x² + 5x + 7 = 0
it is reasonable to conclude that ...
... a = 3, b = 5, c = 7.
_____
The question presumes you are familiar with the form
... ax² +bx +c = 0
which is often used as the representation of a general quadratic equation. This lets us use a, b, and c instead of specific numbers, to talk about ways of factoring, graphing, or solving equations like this.
Answer:
2 : 5
Step-by-step explanation:
2 days of the week begin with the letter T (Tuesday, Thursday).
5 days of the week do not begin with the letter T (Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday).
The ratio of those that do to those that do not is ...
(begin with T) : (do not begin with T)
2 : 5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A new study suggests that waiting at least an hour after dinner before going to sleep reduces your risk of stroke by about two-thirds.
And for every 20 minutes more that you wait, stroke risk drops another 10%, says researcher Cristina-Maria Kastorini, MSc, a nutritionist at the University of Ioannina Medical School in Greece.
The study does not prove cause and effect -- only that there seems to be an association between waiting an hour or more between dinner and bedtime and reduced stroke risk.
Results of the 1,000-patient study were presented here at the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2011.
