Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the addition rule of probability of two events to solve the question. According to the rule given two events A and B;

p(A∪B) = p(A)+p(B) - p(A∩B) where;

A∪B is the union of the two sets A and B

A∩B is the intersection between two sets A and B

Given parameters

P(A)=15

P(A∪B)=1225

P(A∩B)=7100

Required

Probability of event B i.e P(B)

Using the expression above to calculate p(B), we will have;

p(A∪B) = p(A)+p(B) - p(A∩B)

1225 = 15+p(B)-7100

p(B) = 1225-15+7100

p(B) = 8310

Hence the missing probability p(B) is 8310.

If 2x + 5 = 8x, then 12x = ?

satela [25.4K]

X= 10

~because~

2x+5=8x, subtract 2x from both sides:

5=6x, divide 6 on both sides:

x=5/6, then rewrite the equation:

12(5/6)

x=10

A rectangular prism has a volume of 170 cubic centimeters. The length of the prism is 5 centimeters, and the height of the prism

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The width of the prism is 2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The volume of the prism = 170 cm³

The length of the prism = 5 cm

The height of the prism = 17 cm

The volume of the prism is given by the relationship v = Length, l × Height, h × Width, w

Therefore;

The volume of the prism = 5 cm × 17 cm × w = 170 cm³

Which gives;

w = 170 cm³/(5 cm × 17 cm) = 170 cm³/(85 cm) = 2 cm

∴ The width of the prism = 2 cm.

Which of the following terms appear in the expansion of (x+y)^8? The letter a in each term represents a real constant.

Sedbober [7]

The given expression is

$(x+y)^8$

The exponent of x is decreasing and y in increasing .

That is ,

$a x^8 + b x^7y+ c x^6y^2 + d x^5 y ^3 + e x^4 y^4 + f x^3 y^5 + g x^2 y^6 +h x y^7 + i y^8$

Where a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i are th constants

So the correct options are b and d .

The two lines, P and Q, are graphed below: Line P is drawn by joining ordered pairs negative 8,15 and 6, negative 12. Line Q is

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Solution:

Keep in mind ,

Equation of line joining two points (a,b) and (p,q) is given by :

$\frac{q-b}{p-a}=\frac{y-b}{x-a}$

Equation of line P which is obtained by joining (- 8,15) and (6, - 12) is given by:

$\frac{y-15}{x+8}=\frac{-12-15}{6+8}\\\\ 14(y-15)=-27(x+8)\\\\ 14 y -210= -27 x - 216\\\\ 27 x+14 y+6=0$

Equation of line Q which is obtained by joining (4,16) and (-9, 10) is given by:

$\frac{y-16}{x-4}=\frac{16-10}{4+9}\\\\ 13(y-16)=6(x-4)\\\\ 13 y -208= 6 x - 24\\\\ 6 x-13 y+184=0$

Equation of line P and Q are

27 x+14 y+6=0-------(1)× 2

6 x-13 y+184=0-------(2)× 9

54 x + 2 8 y+12=0---(1)

54 x -117 y +1656=0----(2)

(1) - (2)

145 y= 1644

y=11.33,

27 x+14 y+6=0-------(1)×13

6 x-13 y+184=0-------(1)×14

351 x + 182 y + 78=0-----(1)

84 x - 182 y +2576=0----(2)

(1) + (2)

435 x + 2654=0

x = - 6.11

So, solution set is (-6.11, 11.33)

Option (C) is true. (−2, 4), because this point makes both the equations incorrect.

"If you switch to the late shift, you will receive a 10% wage increase." Great! I make $12.00 per hour now, and that extra 10% w

maxonik [38]

Answer:

$13.20/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

A 10% wage increase would amount to 0.10($12) = $1.20. Adding this increase to the starting rate $12/hr results in $13.20/ hr.

A faster way in which to do this is shown below:

Wages after a 10% increase = (1.10)($12/hr) = $13.20/hr
