Answer:
x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+6=8x+18
We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
4x+6=8x+18
We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.
+4x-8x=+18-6
We simplify left and right side of the equation.
-4x=+12
We divide both sides of the equation by -4 to get x.
x=-3
If we draw the contingency table of x (vertical) against y (horiz.), we have a square.
For n=4, we have (legend: < : x<y = : x=y > : x>y
y 1 2 3 4
x
1 = < < <
2 > = < <
3 > > = <
4 > > > =
We see that there are n(n-1)/2 cases of x<y out of n^2.
Therefore,
p(x<y)=n(n-1)/(2n^2)=(n-1)/(2n)
However, if the sample space is continuous, it will be simply p(x<y)=1/2.
3+3=6 therefore the answer would be 6x.
Let the two parts with equal length have length x.
The longer part has length x + 20.
The sum of the three lengths is 695 m.
x + x + x + 20 = 695
3x + 20 = 695
3x = 675
x = 225
x + 20 = 245
The two short parts measure 225 m, and the long part measures 245 m.
