RT = RS + ST
8x - 43 = 2x - 4 + 4x - 1
8x - 43 = 6x - 5
8x - 6x = -5 + 43
2x = 38
x = 38/2
x = 19

QS = 2RS = 2(2x-4) = 2(2*19-4) = 2*34 = 68

Harrison has 30 cds in his music collection. If 40% of the cds are country and 30% are pop, how many are other types of music
Pavel [41]
Well you have to find out how many cd is 40% and 30% 
30% = 30x.3=9
40% = 30x.4=16
now add 16 and 9
16+9=25 now subtract 25 from 30 and see that you have 5 cd of a different type of music to find that as a % divide 5 by 35 to get .14 I rounded it to the nearest hundreth now move the decimal over 2 spots to get 14%

A gene can be either type A or type B, and it can be either dominant or recessive. If the gene is type B, then there is a probab
WARRIOR [948]

Answer: The probability that a gene is of type A is 0.29.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event of type A.

Let B be the event of type B.

Let D be the event of dominant.

So, P(B and D) = 0.22

P(D|B)=0.31

So, Using the conditional probability, we get that

P(B|D)=\dfrac{P(B\cap D)}{P(B)}\\\\0.31=\dfrac{0.22}{P(B)}\\\\P(B)=\dfrac{0.22}{0.31}=0.71

So, the probability that a gene is of type A is given by

P(A)=1-P(B)=1-0.71=0.29

Hence, the probability that a gene is of type A is 0.29.

Write a quadratic function f whose zeros are 11 and 3 .
Harman [31]
Let the variable of the equation be x.

I'm gonna go backwards of the factorization process.

Given,

x = 11 or 3

(x - 11)(x - 3) = 0

x² -3x -11x + 33 = 0 

x² -14x + 33 = 0 

Hence, f(x) = x² - 14x + 33.
