Divide distance by time:

3.2 meters / 5 minutes = 0.64

The descent was -0.64 meters per minute

Answer:

.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you see x per y that means that you're looking at a ratio, which can be expressed as a fraction.

It would look like 3.2/5

The rate of descent may not be consistent, but on average it's reflected by the ratio and so you can just cut 3.2 meters into five equal parts to see, on average, how far the diver descended every minute.

Answer:

I is clear that, the linear equation $5x+12=5x-7$ has no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Checking the first option:

$\frac{2}{3}\left(9x+6\right)=6x+4$

$6x+4=6x+4$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}4\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$6x+4-4=6x+4-4$

$6x=6x$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}6x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$6x-6x=6x-6x$

$0=0$

$\mathrm{Both\:sides\:are\:equal}$

$\mathrm{True\:for\:all}\:x$

Checking the 2nd option:

$5x+12=5x-7$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}5x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$5x+12-5x=5x-7-5x$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$12=-7$

$\mathrm{The\:sides\:are\:not\:equal}$

$\mathrm{No\:Solution}$

Checking the 3rd option:

$4x+7=3x+7$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}7\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$4x+7-7=3x+7-7$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$4x=3x$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}3x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$4x-3x=3x-3x$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$x=0$

Checking the 4th option:

$-3\left(2x-5\right)=15-6x$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}15\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$-6x+15-15=15-6x-15$

$\mathrm{Simplify}\$

$-6x=-6x$

$\mathrm{Add\:}6x\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}$

$-6x+6x=-6x+6x$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$\mathrm{Both\:sides\:are\:equal}$

$\mathrm{True\:for\:all}\:x$

Result:

Therefore, from the above calculations it is clear that, the linear equation

$5x+12=5x-7$ has no solution.

6th grade math please help

Sholpan [36]

Answer: 9x-3x and 5x+x

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Brianna's thinking is incorrect because of course, when x is 0, the expression will equal whatever value isn't an x term. To find equivalent expression, you actually need to find which expressions have the same amount of x terms and the same value.

2. Expressions A and C are equivalent.

3. Expression A can be simplified, as you can do 9x - 3x = 6x, so your final expression would be 6x - 4. Expression C can also be simplified with 5x + x = 6x, which can then also be written as 6x - 4. This means both expressions have the same amount of x terms, and the same value, so they are equivalent.

Vlad [161]

Answer:

The required probability is 0.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There are 400 refrigerators, of which 40 have defective compressors.

Therefore N = 400 and X = 40

The probability of defective compressors is:

$\frac{40}{400}=0.10$

It is given that If X is the number among 15 randomly selected refrigerators that have defective compressors,

That means n=15

Apply the probability density function.

$P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

We need to find P(X ≤ 3)

$P(X\leq3) =P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)\\P(X\leq3) =\frac{15!}{15!}(0.1)^0(1-0.1)^{15}+\frac{15!}{14!}(0.1)^1(1-0.1)^{14}+\frac{15!}{13!2!}(0.1)^2(1-0.1)^{13}+\frac{15!}{12!3!}(0.1)^3(1-0.1)^{12}\\$

$P(X\leq3) =0.944444369992\approx 0.94$

Hence, the required probability is 0.94
