Answer:
8. m=6
9. x=2; Alyssa is incorrect because she subtracted 8 from 16 when in reality she should have divided 16 by 8 to get 2. The real solution is 2 because 8 times 2 is equal to 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 8:
2m-6=m
-2m -2m (subtract 2m from both sides)
<u>-6</u>=<u>-m</u>
- - (divide both sides by the negative)
m=6
Question 9:
<u>8x</u>=<u>16 </u> (divide both sides of the equation by 8)
8 8
x=2
The known facts
- the sum of Natalie's age and Fred's age is 36
- the sum of Fred's age times four and Natalie's age is 72
Now, let's set up the equations where N is Natalie's age and F is Fred's age.
N + F = 36 ---- equation 1
N + 4F = 72 ---- equation 2
equation 2 minus equation 1 ---> 3F = 36 ---> F = 12, thus N = 24
Thus Fred is 12 years old, and Natalie is 24 years old.
Answer:
P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)
Step-by-step explanation:
Here given that a basketball player that shoots 80% from the free throw line attempts two free throws.
If x is the no of shoots he makes (say) then we find that each throw is independent of the other.
In other words, because he made successful first attempt, his chances for second attempt will not change
Prob for success in each attempt remains the same as 0.80
Hence I throw is independent of II throw.
When A and B are independent,then we have
P(A/B) = P(A)
Hence answer is
P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)
