<u>Answer:</u>

  • The solution to the problem is -38.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

  • -(6m + 8) = 4(17 - m)
  • => -6m - 8 = 68 - 4m
  • => -6m + 4m = 68 + 8
  • => -2m = 76
  • => m = 76/-2
  • => m = -38

Hence, <u>the solution to the problem is -38.</u>

Hoped this helped.

A rectangle is 5 meters longer than its width. If the length is shortened by 2 meters and width is increased by 1 meter, the are
Katarina [22]

Answer: Area = 6m²

              Smaller number = 16

              Hours = 9.6 h

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle is 5 meters longer than its width. If the length is shortened by 2 meters and width is increased by 1 meter, the area remains the same. Find the area of the rectangle.

1) w = x m                                2) w = x + 1 m

     l = x + 5  m                               l = x + 5 - 2 = x + 3 m

A₁ = A₂

A = w*l

A₁ = x(x+5) = x² + 5x

A₂ = (x+1)(x+2) = x² + x + 2x + 2 = x² + 3x + 2

A₁ = A₂

x² + 5x = x² + 3x + 2

5x - 3x = 2

2x = 2

x = 1

A₁ = x(x+5) = 1.6 = 6 m²

The ratio of two numbers is 2:5. If the larger number is 40, what is the smaller number.

<u> 2 </u> = <u> x </u>

5     40

5x = 80

x = 80/5 = 16

Describe how to compare the two ratios 5:8 to 7:9. Tell each step to set up the ratios, then explain what to do to be able to co
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

5/8 is smaller.

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio is just a different type of fraction, a 5:8 ratio means 5/8 which is 0.625. A 7:9 ratio equals 7/9 which is 0.777777

Then to compare them you see which is smaller or bigger.

0.77777  is bigger than 0.625 so we know that 0.77777777 which was the 7:9 ratio is the bigger one.

Suppose that lithium calculator battery with a charge of 3 volts, actually has a voltage with uniform distribution between 2.93
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

b. E(X) = 3.015, STDEV(X)= 0.049, P (X ≤ 2.98) = 0.2941

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The mean of the uniform probability distribution is:

M = \frac{a + b}{2}

The standard deviation of the uniform distribution is:

S = \sqrt{\frac{(b-a)^{2}}{12}}

The probability that we find a value X lower than x is given by the following formula.

P(X \leq x) = \frac{x - a}{b-a}

Uniform distribution between 2.93 and 3.1 volts

This means that a = 2.93, b = 3.1. So

Mean:

M = \frac{2.93 + 3.1}{2} = 3.015

Standard deviation:

S = \sqrt{\frac{(3.1 - 2.93)^{2}}{12}} = 0.049

What is the probability that a battery has a voltage less than 2.98?

P(X \leq 2.98) = \frac{2.98 - 2.93}{3.1 - 2.93} = 0.2941

So the correct answer is:

b. E(X) = 3.015, STDEV(X)= 0.049, P (X ≤ 2.98) = 0.2941
