1a) no it would be 54
1b) yes
1c) yes
1d) no it would be 40
1e) yes
hope this helped
2/X^2=4/X+1 times by both denominators
2(x+1)=4(x^2)
2x+2=4x^2
4x^2-2x-2=0
(2x+1)(2x-2)=0
x=2x+1 or 2x-2
x=-1/2 or 1
Answer:
<u>The correct answer is B. 1/729</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Probability of any of the nine words would be randomly cited.
Using the Laplace Rule, we calculate that probability is 1/9
2. Now let's calculate the probability of any two - word phrase in specific order from those nine in the dictionary. We should remember that the probability of occurrence of two or more statistically independent events is equal to the product of their individual probabilities. So,
1/9 * 1/9 = 1/81
3. Using the same Multiplication Rule, we can calculate the probability of a random generation of the phrase "three blind mice", in that specific order. Because there are other phrases that could be generated with those three words, but in different order. The question was specific about the order.
1/9 * 1/9 * 1/9 = 1/729
<u>The probability of randomly generating the phrase "three blind mice" is 1/729 or 0.137%</u>
Ok so right now leave the x's alone. Now add/subtract the numbers without variables which would equal to 0 since -1+4 = 3 and 3-3 =0
now 7x+x =8x so 8x is answer
Let x be the number.
Set up an equation:
2x - 2/3x = 20
Simplify:
1 1/3x = 20
Divide both sides by 1 1/3
X = 15
The number is 15
