The equation that's been computed shows that the number of cell phones that his family can have will be 2.

<h3>How to solve the equation</h3>

From the question, it was stated that the cell phone company charges $50 plus $40 per line each month and that Luke must spend under $170 on his family's cell phone bill each month.

Let the number of cell phones that can be bought be represented by x.

The equation to solve the question will be:

50 + 40(x) < 170

50 + 40x < 170

Collect like terms

40x < 170 - 50

40x < 120

x < 120/40

x < 3

Therefore, the number of cell phones has to be less than 3. Hence, this will be 2.

A cable car starts off with n riders. The times between successive stops of the car are independent exponential random variables
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The distribution is \frac{\lambda^{n}e^{- \lambda t}t^{n - 1}}{(n - 1)!}

Solution:

As per the question:

Total no. of riders = n

Now, suppose the T_{i} is the time between the departure of the rider i - 1 and i from the cable car.

where

T_{i} = independent exponential random variable whose rate is \lambda

The general form is given by:

T_{i} = \lambda e^{- lambda}

(a) Now, the time distribution of the last rider is given as the sum total of the time of each rider:

S_{n} = T_{1} + T_{2} + ........ + T_{n}

S_{n} = \sum_{i}^{n} T_{n}

Now, the sum of the exponential random variable with \lambda with rate \lambda is given by:

S_{n} = f(t:n, \lamda) = \frac{\lambda^{n}e^{- \lambda t}t^{n - 1}}{(n - 1)!}

The fair will be traveling to a place that uses the metric system. They received directions to their next stop, but they are in
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

2x - 0.4x ;

8x/5 ;

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of miles = x

Arlene:

Double number of miles = 2 * x = 2x

Subtract 20% of the result :

2x - 20% of 2x ;

2x - 0.4x

Raul:

Divides Number of miles by 5 ; x / 5

Multiplies result by 8 ;

8 * (x/5) = 8x /5

To know if expressions are equivalent :

Let x = 10 miles

Using Arlene's expression:

2x - 0.4x

x = 10

2(10) - 0.4(10) = 16

Using Raul's expression :

8x / 5

(8*10) / 5

80/5

= 16

Since they give the same result, we can conclude that the expression are equivalent

What is the Pythagorean’s Theorem ?
mr Goodwill [35]
A^2 + b^ = c^2

c is the longest side of the triangle
a and b are the other two sides

So the given are the hypotenuse leg, and one of the other legs

So
a= ?
b= 12
c= 14

a^2+12^2=14^2

a^2+144=196
-144 -144

a^2=52

So we find the square root of 52

Which is 7.211 which you can round to 7.21 or 7.2
