Solve for t. -5 − 2t = 3t

Tom [10]2 years ago

First, we have to isolate the t, or keep it by itself, to solve. To do that, we need to move everything with t in it to on side.

-5 - 2t + 2t = 3t + 2t

The -2t and + 2t cross out, leaving us with t on one side, which is exactly what we want!

-5 = 5t

But t isn't alone yet. We need to get rid of its five. To do that, we need to use the same process: use the opposite symbol. In 5t, 5 is being multiplied by t. To get rid of, we need to divide 5. BUT the mega rule in algebra... what you do to one side you must do to the other, or else the equation would not be true anymore, so...

-5/5 = 5t/5

-1 = t

There's your answer! Hope this helps!

T is equal to -1.
  1. <em>Add 2t to both sides of the equation.</em> -5 = 5t
  2. <em>Divide both sides of the equation by -5.</em> 1 = -t
  3. <em>Multiply both sides of the equation by -1.</em> -1 = t

The time between failures for an electrical appliance is exponentially distributed with a mean of 25 months. What is the probabi
katrin [286]

Answer:

The probability that the next failure will not occur before 30 months have elapsed is 0.0454

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Poisson distribution  where

t= number of units of time

x= number of occurrences in t units of time

λ= average number of occurrences per unit of time

P(x;λt) = e raise to power (-λt)  multiplied by λtˣ divided by x!

here λt = 25

x= 30

P(x= 30) = 25³⁰e⁻²⁵/ 30!

P (x= 30) = 8.67 E41 * 1.3887 E-11/30!    (where E= exponent)

P (x=30) = 1.204 E31/30!

Solving it with a statistical calculator would give

P (x=30) = 0.0454

The probability that the next failure will not occur before 30 months have elapsed is 0.0454

GIVEN :- Maria has 14 pencils, Ted has 9 pencils, Tom has 12 pencils, Lucinda has 13 pencils, and Jumana has 12 pencils.

The sum of all pencils are 60 and the number of persons are 5 .

So 60/5= 12
The no. of pencil which every person has after redistribution is 12 .
