In probability, you study the chances of an event to happen based on statistics gathered. Probability is always expressed as a part of a whole, thereby in fractions or percentages. From the statistics gathered, it said that 80% of the time, the plane arrives right on schedule in El Centro. That means that the probability of NOT arriving on time is the other portion, which is 20%. Thus, the answer is 20%.

A. 18 is 20 percent of what number? B. 15 is 25 percent of what number? C. 12 is 30 percent of what number? D. 24 is 40 percent
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

18=x*.20

15=x*.25

12=x*.30

24=x*.40

39=x*.60

78=x*.30

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x on each, divide the number on the left of the equal side by the number x is being multiplied by.  For example, 18/.20=x

Solve each proportion. <br> 8/x+9=2/x-3<br> Please show work.
emmainna [20.7K]


8/x+9-(2/x-3)=0

Step by step solution :


Step 1 :

2
Simplify —
x
Equation at the end of step 1 :

8 2
(— + 9) - (— - 3) = 0
x x
Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x as the denominator :

3 3 • x
3 = — = —————
1 x
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

2 - (3 • x) 2 - 3x
——————————— = ——————
x x
Equation at the end of step 2 :

8 (2 - 3x)
(— + 9) - ———————— = 0
x x
Step 3 :

8
Simplify —
x
Equation at the end of step 3 :

8 (2 - 3x)
(— + 9) - ———————— = 0
x x
Step 4 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

4.1 Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x as the denominator :

9 9 • x
9 = — = —————
1 x
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

8 + 9 • x 9x + 8
————————— = ——————
x x
Equation at the end of step 4 :

(9x + 8) (2 - 3x)
———————— - ———————— = 0
x x
Step 5 :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

5.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

(9x+8) - ((2-3x)) 12x + 6
————————————————— = ———————
x x
Step 6 :

Pulling out like terms :

6.1 Pull out like factors :

12x + 6 = 6 • (2x + 1)

Equation at the end of step 6 :

6 • (2x + 1)
———————————— = 0
x
Step 7 :

When a fraction equals zero :

7.1 When a fraction equals zero ...
Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

6•(2x+1)
———————— • x = 0 • x
x
Now, on the left hand side, the x cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :
6 • (2x+1) = 0

Equations which are never true :

7.2 Solve : 6 = 0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Hello there!
djyliett [7]

2. f(x) = x - 2x² - 5 + 10x

=-2x² + 8x - 5

f'(x)= -4x + 8

4. y = 100(45x - 30 - 3x³ + 2x²)

= 100(-3x³ + 2x² + 45x -30)

= -300x³ + 200x² + 4500x - 3000

y' = -900x² + 400x + 4500
