Eugene sold half of his comic books and then bought eight more. He now has 32. With how many did he begin?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

48 books

Step-by-step explanation:

32-8 = 24

24= 1/2 of total

24x2=48

Answer=48 books

Check:

48/2=24

24+8=32

YAY!!

Answer 2

Answer:

48 comic books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use x as the amount that he originally had.

If he sold half of them, that would be:

(1/2)x

Then he bought 8 more, so you would add 8 to that total.

(1/2)x + 8

If he now has 32 then we need to set that equation to equal 32.

(1/2)x + 8 = 32

Subtract 8 from each side.

(1/2)x = 24

Then you will divide 24 by 1/2. That is the same thing as multiplying by 2.

So,

x = 48

Check work

(1/2)x + 8 = 32

(1/2)(48) + 8 = 32

Half of 48 is 24.

24 + 8 = 32.

32 = 32.

the probability of randomly selecting a four-person committee consisting entirely of canadians from a pool of 11 americans and 18 canadian

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Probability =0.1744[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total

[tex]American = 11[/tex]

[tex]Canadian = 18[/tex]

Selection

[tex]American = 0[/tex]

[tex]Canadian = 4[/tex]

Required

Determine the probability of selecting a 4 committee member that are Canadian.

First, we calculate total possible selection.

[tex]Total = American + Canadian[/tex]

[tex]Total = 11 + 18[/tex]

[tex]Total = 27[/tex]

Number of ways to select 4 from 27 is:

[tex]^{27}C_4 = \frac{27!}{(27-4)!4!}[/tex]

[tex]^{27}C_4 = \frac{27!}{23!4!}[/tex]

[tex]^{27}C_4 = \frac{27*26*25*24*23!}{23!4!}[/tex]

[tex]^{27}C_4 = \frac{27*26*25*24}{4!}[/tex]

[tex]^{27}C_4 = \frac{27*26*25*24}{4*3*2*1}[/tex]

[tex]^{27}C_4 = \frac{421200}{24}[/tex]

[tex]^{27}C_4 = 17550[/tex]

Next, we calculate ways of selecting 4 Canadians from 18 is:

[tex]^{18}C_4 = \frac{18!}{(18-4)!4!}[/tex]

[tex]^{18}C_4 = \frac{18!}{14!4!}[/tex]

[tex]^{18}C_4 = \frac{18*17*16*15*14!}{14!4!}[/tex]

[tex]^{18}C_4 = \frac{18*17*16*15}{4!}[/tex]

[tex]^{18}C_4 = \frac{18*17*16*15}{4*3*2*1}[/tex]

[tex]^{18}C_4 = \frac{73440}{24}[/tex]

[tex]^{18}C_4 = 3060[/tex]

The required probability is:

[tex]Probability =\frac{3060}{17550}[/tex]

[tex]Probability =0.1744[/tex]

Solve for x if y = 3 in the equation 2x + 3y = 12 *

Answers

Answer:

x = 3/2 or 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3 in the equation 2x + 3y = 12

Substitute 3 in for y.

2x + 3(3) = 12

Multiply.

2x + 9 = 12

Subtract 9 from both sides.

2x + 9 - 9 = 12 - 9

2x = 3

Divide both sides by 2.

2x ÷ 2 = x

3 ÷ 2 = 3/2 or 1.5

x = 1.5

Answer:

X = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that Y = 3 and 3 x 3 = 9, then we need to get the difference of 9 to 12

12 - 9 = 3

we now know that x will equal 3, so 2 x 1.5 = 3, and 3 + 9 = 12

(Full equation)

2 x 1.5 + 3 x 3 = 12

Solve.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle equals to half of the base times height, i.e. A = 1/2 × b × h.

1/2 x 22 x 16 = 1/2 x 20 x BD

BD = (1/2 x 22 x 16) / (1/2 x 20)

to (7x1/
1,000)?
A 36.074
B 7,256.05
C 64.387
D 769.21

Answers

Answer:

It would be C, 64.387

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to solve 7x1/1000. This equal to 7/1000 which should be converted into decimal form (since all the answers are in decimal form). 7/1000 is 0.007 in decimal form.

It is 0.007 since in 7/1000, the denominator is 1000, making 7 in the thousandths place (the 3rd digit to the right of the decimal point).

The only number that contains 0.007 is the 3rd one, making it your answer.
