Answer 1

Answer:

Mistake is on second line.

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two lines are (I added the boldface):

3x - 5 + 3x = x + 8 - x - 1

6x – 5 = 2x + 7

The first line has x and -x. They add to 0.

The second line on the right side should have just 7, but the x and -x of the first line were incorrectly added together giving 2x.

The second line should be:

6x - 5 = 7

Add 5 to both sides.

6x = 12

Divide both sides by 6.

x = 2

E = (-52) + 13 + 49 + (-15) + (-36) + 82

Answers

Answer:

E = 41

Step-by-step explanation:

E = (-52) + 13 + 49 + (-15) + (-36) + 82

Take the -ve terms to one side and +ve terms to the other.

E = (13 + 49 + 82) - 15 - 36 - 52

E = 144 - 103

E = 41

Of the 120 apartments in a building, 75 have been scheduled to receive new carpet. What fraction of the apartments have not been scheduled to receive new carpet?

1/4
3/8
5/8
3/4

Answers

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, let's start out by figuring out how many apartments have not been scheduled to receive new carpet. We know that 75 have been scheduled and that there are 120 total apartments, so the number of apartments that have not been scheduled is 120 - 75 or 45.

Now, we need to find the fraction of apartments that have not been scheduled to receive new carpet. To do this, we divide the number of apartments that have not been scheduled to receive new carpet by the total number of apartments:

[tex]\frac{45}{120}[/tex]

We can divide both sides by a common factor of 15 to find the simplified fraction and determine our answer.

[tex]\frac{45}{120} /\frac{15}{15} =\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

So, 3/8 of the apartments have not been scheduled to receive new carpet.

What is Calculus ???

Answers

Answer:

Calculus, originally called infinitesimal calculus or "the calculus of infinitesimals", is the mathematical study of continuous change, in the same way that geometry is the study of shape and algebra is the study of generalizations of arithmetic operations.

Answer:

The fundamental idea of calculus is to study change by studying "instantaneous " change, by which we mean changes over tiny intervals of time. And what good is that? It turns out that such changes tend to be lots simpler than changes over finite intervals of time.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

I = 336

T = 2

R = 10.5 = 10½ = 21/2

I = PRT/100

336 = (2 x 21 x P)/(100 x 2)

336 = 21P/100

P= 33600/21

P=1600

Assume a minimum of 154 cm^2 and calculate the area of a rectangle having a width of 12 cm.  Let x be the length of the rectangle, so that:

(12)*x = Area

Area => 154 cm^2

(12)*x  => 154 cm^2

x => (154/12cm) cm^2

x => 12.8 cm

A) No, the probability of getting a 4 on a fair die does not change. It will always be 16 no matter what he got on previous rolls.
B) Yes, since he has gotten everything but a 4 on the last ten rolls, the probability of getting a 4 is higher on the next roll.
C) No, since he has not gotten a 4 yet he is guaranteed to get one on the next roll as it is time for him to get one.
