If bd = 7x-10, bc = 4x-29, and cd = 5x-9, find each value

Answer:

bd=88, bc=27, cd=61

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have that

bd=bc+cd

we have

bd=7x-10

bc=4x-29

cd=5x-9

substitute the values and solve for x

7x-10=(4x-29)+(5x-9)

Group terms that contain the same variable in the right sides

7x-10=(4x+5x)+(-29-9)

Combine like terms in the right side

7x-10=9x-38

9x-7x=-10+38

2x=28

x=14

<u><em>Find the value of bd</em></u>

bd=7(14)-10=88

Find the value of bc

bc=4(14)-29=27

<u><em>Find the value of cd</em></u>

cd=5(14)-9=61

Your school wants to take out an ad in the paper congratulating the basketball team on a successful​ season, as shown to the rig
Serga [27]

Answer:

1.4in

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of Photo = 4in

Width of Photo = 3in

Unknown:

Value of X = ?

Solution:

Follow these steps:

  Area of a rectangle  = l x w

Since the photo is a rectangle; area of photo:

  Area of photo  = 4in x 3in = 12in²

For the area of the ad;

   Length of ad  = 4 + x

   Width of ad = 3 + x

Given that,

                  the area of the photo  = \frac{1}{2} area of ad

                           12in²  = \frac{1}{2} area of ad

                   Area of ad  = 24in²

Area of the ad;

             (4 + x) (3 + x)  = 24

               12 + 4x + 3x + x² = 24

                12 + 7x + x²  = 24

                       x² + 7x = 24 - 12

                       x² + 7x = 12

                     x² + 7x - 12  = 0

            Using the almighty formula where

     a  = 1, b = 7 and c = -12

          x  = \frac{-b (+/-) \sqrt{b^{2} } - 4ac}{2a}

     

          x = \frac{-7 + \sqrt[]{-7^{2} - 4x1x-12 } }{2x1}   or \frac{-7 - \sqrt[]{-7^{2} - 4x1x-12 } }{2x1}

          x  = 1.4  or  -8.4

therefore the answer is 1.4in

x is 1.4in

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

=(k−1)*P(X>k−1) or (k−1)365k(365k−1)(k−1)!

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to find PMF

Let X = k represent the case in which there is no birthday match within (k-1) people

However, there is a birthday match when kth person arrives

Hence, there is 365^k possibilities in birthday arrangements

Supposing (k-1) dates are placed on specific days in a year

Pick one of k-1 of them & make it the date of the kth person that arrives, then:

The CDF is P(X≤k)=(1−(365k)k)/!365k, so the can obtain the PMF by  

P(X=k) =P (X≤k) − P(X≤k−1)=(1−(365k)k!/365^k)−(1−(365k−1)(k−1)!/365^(k−1))=

(k−1)/365^k * (365k−1) * (k−1)!

=(k−1)*(1−P(X≤k−1))

=(k−1)*P(X>k−1)

Solve the inequality. Using a verbal statement, in simplest terms, describe the solution of the inequality. Be sure to include t
rodikova [14]
-2x + 3 > 3(2x - 1)

the inequality sign > means 'greater than'.

First simplify the right side of the equation by distributing the 3 over the parentheses:-

-2x + 3 > 6x - 3

Now add -6x to both sides of the inequality  which gives us
-8x + 3 > -3
Adding -3 to both sides we have
-8x > -6

The next step is to divide  both sides by -8 so x is isolated on the left side and this gives us the solution. However there is a rule with inequalities that if you divide  the variable term by a negative the inequality is flipped. So in this case , greater that (>) becomes  less than (<):-

-8x / -8 < -6/-8

x <  3/4  is your answer.
