Answer:

x=80

Step-by-step explanation:

x=0.7x+24

We move all terms to the left:

x-(0.7x+24)=0

We get rid of parentheses

x-0.7x-24=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

0.3x-24=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

0.3x=24

x=24/0.3

x=80

Answer:

x = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation.

x = 0.7x + 24

And we want to solve it for x.

For these kinds of equations, the way to solve for x is to isolate x on one side.

Because we have terms with x on both sides of the equation, we need to remove it from one side.

It's a good idea to remove x from the right side, as we also have our numbers on that side. If we move it to the left side, there aren't any numbers there, so we can more easily solve this equation.

Here is our equation again:

x = 0.7x + 24

Subtract 0.7x from both sides.

x = 0.7x + 24

-0.7x -0.7x

______________________

0.3x = 24

Now, we have variables on one side, and numbers on the other, but we aren't done yet.

Remember that we are solving for x, not 0.3x. (When x is written by itself, it is the same as 1x).

So, in order to find the value of 1x, we need to divide both sides by 0.3, as when a number is divided by itself, the value is 1. If there is a variable, the value will be 1*that variable (e.g. 1n, or n)

**Note that we don't divide by 0.3x, as if we did that, the left side would equal just 1, not 1x.

So, let's divide both sides by 0.3.

0.3x = 24

÷0.3   ÷0.3

The confounding variable which is controlled by randomly assigning individuals to treatments is: C. the time of day participants drank the beverages.

A confounding variable is also referred to as a confounder and it can be defined as a type of variable that has the ability to influence both the independent and dependent variables.

Also, a confounding variable is usually not accounted for by the researcher and as such it can cause a spurious association between the independent and dependent variables.

In this context, we can infer and logically deduce that the time of day at which participants drank the beverages is a confounding variable which is controlled by randomly assigning individuals to treatments.

Notice that

5 - 3 = 2

11 - 5 = 6

29 - 11 = 18

and these differences form a geometric sequence,

{2, 6, 18, ...} = {2×3⁰, 2×3, 2×3², ...}

so a reasonable guess for the next number in the sequence might be 2×3³ = 54.

The sequence might be 2×3^3^3 = 54.

We notice that 5 - 3 = 2

11 - 5 = 6

29 - 11 = 18

and these differences form a geometric sequence,

A geometric sequence is a special type of sequence where the ratio of every two successive terms is a constant.

Answer:

О  x = 10 3/4

[tex]x = 10\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/5 ( x + 1 3/4) = -2 1/2

Particularly:

1 3/4 = 1 + 3/4 = 4/4 + 3/4 = 7/4

-2 1/2 = -2 - 1/2 = -4/2 - 1/2 = -5/2

Then:

-1/5 (x + 7/4) = -5/2

(x*-1/5 + 7/4*-1/5) = -5/2

(-x/5 + ((7*-1) / (4*5))) = -5/2

-x/5 + (-7/20) = -5/2

-x/5 - 7/20 = -5/2

-4x/20 - 7/20 = -50/20

-4x - 7 = -50

-4x =  -50  + 7

-4x = -43

x = -43/-4

x = 43/4

43/4 = 40/4 + 3/4 = 10 + 3/4 = 10 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be = x

Let the second number be = 4x -28

Let the third = x-7

x + 4x+ x -28 - 7

6x - 35

6x -35 = 157

6x = 157 +35

6x = 192

x = 32

therefore, x = 32, the second x = 4(32) -28

728 - 28

x = 100

third x = 32 - 7

x = 25.

Answer:

10x² + 8x + 22

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is the measurements of all four side lengths added together

(you can simply multiply both side lengths by 2, because they are the same on both sides--but I'll write them all out for clarity)

side A (top): 5x² + 3x + 7

side B (right): x + 4

side C (bottom): 5x² + 3x + 7

side D (left): x + 4

perimeter = side A + side B + side C + side D

5x² + 3x + 7 + x + 4 + 5x² + 3x + 7 + x + 4

now, as you might have noticed, this is a long equation

so, we must combine like terms:

(this is the problem reordered so like terms are next to each other:)

(5x² + 5x²) + (3x + x + 3x + x) + (7 + 4 + 7 + 4)

10x² + 8x + 22

So, the perimeter of this rectangle is 10x² + 8x + 22

Answer: constant of proportionality = 0.75

How to find constant of proportionality?

Constant of proportionality is the same as the slope of a straight line.

Slope formula is given by:

[tex]\sf slope: \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2- x_1} = \dfrac{\triangle y}{\triangle x} \ \ where \ (x_1 , \ y_1), ( x_2 , \ y_2) \ are \ points[/tex]

Here take two points: (0, 0), (4, 3)

[tex]So, \sf \ slope : \dfrac{3-0}{4-0} = \dfrac{3}{4} \quad or \quad 0.75[/tex]

Hence, the constant of proportionality is 0.75

Answer:

Constant of proportionality = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the constant of proportionality of a graph that goes through the origin:

• First select a point on the graph whose coordinates you can easily read; in this case such a point is already marked (4, 3).

• Next, simply divide the y-value by the x-value of the coordinates to find the constant of proportionality:

Constant of proportionality = y ÷ x

                                             ⇒ 3 ÷ 4

                                             ⇒ 0.75

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.3222 = 32.22% probability that at least 3 Canadian are on CERB in the sample.

The formula is:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

The parameters are:

The values of the parameters are:

n = 10, p = 0.2.

The probability that at least 3 Canadian are on CERB in the sample is:

[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)[/tex]

In which:

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2).

Then:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.1074[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{9} = 0.2684[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{8} = 0.3020[/tex]

Then:

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.1074 + 0.2684 + 0.3020 = 0.6778.

[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3) = 1 - 0.6778 = 0.3222[/tex]

0.3222 = 32.22% probability that at least 3 Canadian are on CERB in the sample.

By applying the radioactive simple decay model, we find that the initial quantity of the radioactive isotope is equal to approximately 5.63 grams.

Mass of radioactive isotopes (m (t)), in grams, decay exponentially in time according to the following model:

[tex]m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-t/\tau}[/tex]     (1)

Where:

The time constant can be found in terms of half-life:

τ = t'/㏑ 2

If we know that t' = 24100 yr, t = 1000 yr and m(t) = 5.4 g, then the initial mass of the radioactive isotope is:

τ = 24100 yr/㏑ 2

τ ≈ 34768.95 yr
