1 answer:
belka [17]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

He's reading at a rate of 1/3 chapter per night and if there 2 1/3 chapters left to read we can divide the chapters left by his reading rate (2 1/3 ÷ 1/3 = 7 nights).

Another way to solve this problem is to make an equation to show the situation with x being the number of nights reading.

1/3x=2 1/3

<em>Solve for x by dividng 1/3 from each side of the equation.</em>

x=7

So he must read for 7 nights to finish the chapters that are left.

1.) Solve for x:
5 x + 7 = 3 x + 21

Subtract 3 x from both sides:
(5 x - 3 x) + 7 = (3 x - 3 x) + 21

5 x - 3 x = 2 x:
2 x + 7 = (3 x - 3 x) + 21

3 x - 3 x = 0:
2 x + 7 = 21

Subtract 7 from both sides:
2 x + (7 - 7) = 21 - 7

7 - 7 = 0:
2 x = 21 - 7

21 - 7 = 14:
2 x = 14

Divide both sides of 2 x = 14 by 2:
(2 x)/2 = 14/2

2/2 = 1:
x = 14/2

The gcd of 14 and 2 is 2, so 14/2 = (2×7)/(2×1) = 2/2×7 = 7:
Answer:  x = 7

2.)  Solve for x:
3 x - 2 (5 - x) = 3 x - 3 (x - 10)

-2 (5 - x) = 2 x - 10:
2 x - 10 + 3 x = 3 x - 3 (x - 10)

Grouping like terms, 3 x + 2 x - 10 = (3 x + 2 x) - 10:
(3 x + 2 x) - 10 = 3 x - 3 (x - 10)

3 x + 2 x = 5 x:
5 x - 10 = 3 x - 3 (x - 10)

-3 (x - 10) = 30 - 3 x:
5 x - 10 = 30 - 3 x + 3 x

3 x - 3 x = 0:
5 x - 10 = 30

Add 10 to both sides:
5 x + (10 - 10) = 10 + 30

10 - 10 = 0:
5 x = 30 + 10

30 + 10 = 40:
5 x = 40

Divide both sides of 5 x = 40 by 5:
(5 x)/5 = 40/5

5/5 = 1:
x = 40/5

The gcd of 40 and 5 is 5, so 40/5 = (5×8)/(5×1) = 5/5×8 = 8:

<span>Answer: x = 8

_________________________________________________________

3.) Solve for x:</span>
5 (x + 1) = 3 (2 x + 3) + 5

3 (2 x + 3) = 6 x + 9:
5 (x + 1) = 6 x + 9 + 5

Grouping like terms, 6 x + 5 + 9 = 6 x + (9 + 5):
5 (x + 1) = 6 x + (9 + 5)

9 + 5 = 14:
5 (x + 1) = 6 x + 14

Expand out terms of the left hand side:
5 x + 5 = 6 x + 14

Subtract 6 x from both sides:
(5 x - 6 x) + 5 = (6 x - 6 x) + 14

5 x - 6 x = -x:
-x + 5 = (6 x - 6 x) + 14

6 x - 6 x = 0:
5 - x = 14

Subtract 5 from both sides:
(5 - 5) - x = 14 - 5

5 - 5 = 0:
-x = 14 - 5

14 - 5 = 9:
-x = 9

Multiply both sides of -x = 9 by -1:
(-x)/(-1) = -9
(-1)/(-1) = 1:

earned $4200 and earned $174 in interest if one earns 3.5% and the other 4.5 % how much was invested at each rate
Leno4ka [110]
X + y = 4200 so x = 4200 - y
0.035x + 0.045y = 174

substitute x = 4200 - y into 0.035x + 0.045y = 174

0.035x + 0.045y = 174
0.035(4200 - y) + 0.045y = 174
147 - 0.035y + 0.045y = 174
0.01y = 27
y = 2700


x + y = 4200
x = 4200 - 2700
x = 1500

answer

$1500 in <span>3.5% 
$2700 in 4.5%</span>

Determine whether the distribution is a probability distribution. x 0 1 2 3 4 5 ​P(x) StartFraction 1 Over 25 EndFraction one fi
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

D. No comma because the total probability is not equal to 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the distribution:

\left|\begin{array}{c|cccccc}x&0&1&2&3&4&5\\ P(x)&1/25&1/5&1/2&3/4& 1/50&1/100\end{array}\right|

The sum of the probabilities

\sum P(x)=1/25+1/5+1/2+3/4+ 1/50+1/100\\\sum P(x) =1.52 \neq 1

Therefore, the distribution is not a probability distribution because the total probability is not equal to 1.

The correct option is D.
