Kx + 3x = 4 solve for x.

1 answer:

4 0

Take out a common factor between 3x and kx. That means use the distributive law to get what you normally would start with.

x(k + 3) = 4

Now divide by k + 3

x = 4/(k + 3)

That's as much as you can do with this question.

Alyssa wants to know the gas mileage of her new car. She kept track of the number of miles she traveled and the number of gallon

Anna [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Alyssa wants to know her gas mileage, which is MILES PER GALLON, she will need to divide total miles by total gallons.

"per gallon" means per 1 unit of gallon, which we will get ONLY IF WE DIVIDE by TOTAL NUMBER OF GALLONS, hence we get "per unit of gallon".

<u>So we need to divide 243.8 miles by 7.71 gallons to get Alyssa's gas mileage.</u>

Answer choice D is right.

Children inherit their blood type from their parents, with probabilities that reflect the parents' genetic makeup. Children of J

anygoal [31]

Answer:

$n = 4, p = 0.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

We treat adult having blood type A as a success.

P(Blood type A) =

$p=\dfrac{1}{4} = 0.25$

Then the number of Children of Juan and Maria who have blood type A follows a binomial distribution as there are

n independent trial.
Each trial have to outcomes(Blood type A or not)
Probability of success is same for each success

Here,

$P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}$

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Thus, for the given binomial distribution,

$n = 4, p = 0.25$

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

a) $P(X$

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel and we got:

$P(z$

b) $P(X>48)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{48-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{48-46.8}{1.75})=P(z>0.686)$

And we can find this probability using the complement rule, the normal standard table or excel and we got:

$P(z>0.686)=1- P(Z$

c) $P(46.8-1.5*1.75$

And we can find this probability with this difference:

$P(-1.5$

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

$P(-1.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the velocities of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(46.8,1.75)$

Where $\mu=46.8$ and $\sigma=1.75$

We are interested on this probability

$P(X$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(X$

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel and we got:

$P(z$

Part b

$P(X>48)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{48-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{48-46.8}{1.75})=P(z>0.686)$

And we can find this probability using the complement rule, the normal standard table or excel and we got:

$P(z>0.686)=1- P(Z$

Part c

$P(46.8-1.5*1.75$

And we can find this probability with this difference:

$P(-1.5$

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

$P(-1.5$

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

For a better understanding of the solution provided please go through the diagram in the file attached.

Let ABCD be the rectangular yard. The diagonal d=17 meters. AD=8 meters. Therefore, the length of DC can be found by applying the Pythagorean theorem in the right triangle $\Delta ADC$ as:

$DC=\sqrt{17^2-8^2}=\sqrt{(AC)^2-(AD)^2}=\sqrt{225} =15$ meters.

Alvin and Bala has 26 stickers.Alvin had 8 more stickers thab Bala.How many stickers did Bala have?

Brilliant_brown [7]

Bala had 9 stickers

You could set this up as a equation. Because there was a total of 26 you would for sure put =26. Next you are told Alvin has 8 MORE than Bali, therefore you would be adding the unknown value of Bala by 8. This could be represented as x+8=26. Now that you have x added to 8 you need to add another x to the equation to fully represent the problem since Alvin has 8 more stickers than Bala does. The new equation would become 2x+8=26.

You must now isolate x by first subtraction 8 from both sides which will leave you with 2x=18. Then you divide on both sides by 2 and will leave you with x=9
