Answer:

The correct answer is B.) 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is given to be : 4(2s − 1) = 7s + 12

We need to find the value of s in the given equation

⇒ 4(2s − 1) = 7s + 12

⇒ 8s - 4 = 7s + 12 (By Distributive law of multiplication over addition)

⇒ 8s - 7s = 12 + 4

⇒ s = 16

Therefore, The correct answer is B.) 16

Answer: 15.7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the time in the beginning (in minutes).

Given: The track team is trying to reduce their time for a relay race.

First they reduce their time by 2.1 minutes.

Then they are able to reduce that time by 10

If their final time is 3.96 minutes, then

x-t1-t2= 3.6
x= 3.6+ t1+ t2
x= 3.6+ 2.1+ 10
x= 15.7

Hence, their beginning time was 15.7 minutes.

Vanessa uses the expressions (3x2 + 5x + 10) and (x2 – 3x – 1) to represent the length and width of her patio. Which expression

VMariaS [17]

To find the answer to this, you have multiply both expressions by each other. To do this, you have to multiply each term in the first expression by each term in the second expressions. This yields the following: 3x^4-9x^3-3x^2+5x^3-15x^2-5x+10x^2-30x-10. Combing like terms and simplifying gives the final expression: 3x^4 - 4x^3 - 8x^2 - 35x - 10

Answer:

$Sum = -81$

Step-by-step explanation:

See the comment for complete question.

Given

$c = 36$ ----- Constant

No coefficient of x^2

Required:

Determine the sum of all distinct positive integers of the coefficient of x

Reading through the complete question, we can see that the question has 3 terms which are:

x^2 ---- with no coefficient

x ---- with an unknown coefficient

36 ---- constant

So, the equation can be represented as:

$x^2 + ax + 36 = 0$

Where a is the unknown coefficient

From the question, we understand that the equation has two negative integer solution. This can be represented as:

$x = -\alpha$ and $x = -\beta$

Using the above roots, the equation can be represented as:

$(x + \alpha)(x + \beta) = 0$

Open brackets

$x^2 + (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha \beta = 0$

To compare the above equation to $x^2 + ax + 36 = 0$ , we have:

$a = \alpha + \beta$

$\alpha \beta = 36$

Where: $\alpha, \beta$ and $\alpha \ne \beta$

The values of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ that satisfy $\alpha \beta = 36$ are:

$\alpha = -1$ and $\beta = -36$

$\alpha = -2$ and $\beta = -18$

$\alpha = -3$ and $\beta = -12$

$\alpha = -4$ and $\beta = -9$

So, the possible values of a are:

$a = \alpha + \beta$

When $\alpha = -1$ and $\beta = -36$

$a = -1 - 36 = -37$

When $\alpha = -2$ and $\beta = -18$

$a = -2 - 18 = -20$

When $\alpha = -3$ and $\beta = -12$

$a = -3 - 12 = -15$

When $\alpha = -4$ and $\beta = -9$

$a = -4 - 9 = -13$

At this point, we have established that the possible values of a are: -37, -20, -15 and -9.

The required sum is:

$Sum = -37 -20 -15 - 9$

$Sum = -81$

You ended without giving the values, so we can't get the exact answer. However, I can tell you steps.

First, you need to find the z-score. Then, look up the z-score on a normal distribution table and you will get the percent.

Let's call your value X. Just plug X into the equation below and you will have your z-score.

(x - 20.5) / 3.5 = z

Now, look up the z-score and you will have your probability.<span />
