He had 40 pencils left after he gave away 8, so originally he had 40 + 8 pencils, which is 48.

Now, he bought 4 packages, which had a total of 48 pencils, so divide 48 by 4, which is 12. He had 12 pencils in each package.

To determine the solution arithmetically, first add 8 to 40, then divide 48 by 4.

To determine the solution algebraically, set up and solve the equation 40 = 4x - 8.

Each package contained 12 pencils.

Hope this helps

Answer:

X=7 ST=11 RT=17

Step-by-step explanation:

RT=RS+ST. RS= 2(7)-8. ST=11

X+10=2x-8+11. =14-8=6. RT= x+10

X+10=2x+3. RS=6. 7+10=17

10=x+3. RT=17

X=7

Find two complex numbers that have a sum of i10 a different of -4and a product of -29

lianna [129]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the complex numbers be $a+ib\textrm{ and }c+id$ .

Given, sum is $10i$ , difference is $-4$ and product is $-29$ .

$(a+c)+i(b+d)=10i$ ⇒ $a+c=0,b+d=10$

$(a-c)+i(b-d)=-4$ ⇒ $a-c=-4,b-d=0$

$a=-2,c=2,b=5,d=5$

$(a+ib)(c+id)=(-2+5i)(2+5i)=-4-25=-29$

Hence, all three equations are consistent yielding the complex numbers $-2+5i\textrm{ and }2+5i$ .

A computer randomly selects a letter from the alphabet.

Nikolay [14]

1) 26 different outcomes are in the sample space.

2) 1 / 26 is the probability that the computer produces the first letter of your first name.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u>1) You have to find out the different outcomes in the sample space :</u>

A "Sample space" is defined as the set of all the possible outcomes of an event.
Here, the given event is randomly selecting a letter from the alphabets.

Therefore, the sample space must contain all the possible alphabets that can be chosen randomly.

The sample space is the set of all the 26 alphabets in English language.

⇒ Sample space = {A,B,C,D...........,Y,Z}

⇒ 26 different outcomes.

<u>2) The probability the computer produces the first letter of your first name :</u>

Here, the required outcome is getting the first letter of your first name.

Probability = No. of required outcomes / total no. of outcomes.

For example, The name Alex Davis has the first letter of the fist name as alphabet 'A'.

∴ Probability = 1 / 26

Similarly, for any first name there is going to be any one alphabet from the 26 alphabets, thus the probability to get the first letter will be always 1 / 26.

The distance between New York and Philadelphia by railroad is 90 miles; the distance between them by river and ocean is 240 mile

VladimirAG [237]

Start with 90/240, then reduce the fraction
you can reduce by dividing each by 10 to get 9/24
reduce more from there, seeing that each number can be divided by 3
9/3 = 3
24/3 = 8
answer 3/8
