5x+17=8x-31

Subtract -5x from each side

17=3x-31

Add 31 to both sides

48=3x

Divide 48 by 3

x=16

RS=5(16)+17

RS=97

A CD has a 5% chance of being a smash hit and profiting $5.2 million, a 50% chance of being a modest success and profiting $0.9
Zina [12379]

P(S) = Probability of Smash = 0.05 (5%)
P(M) = Probability of Modest = 0.5 (50%)
P(F) = Probability of Flop = 0.45 (45%)
Based on this, we utilize the model for discrete random variables, leading to:
E(X) = (0.05 * 5.2) + (0.5 * 0.9) + (0.45 * 0)
= 0.26 + 0.45 + 0
= 0.71 Mill'

An upscale resort has built its circular swimming pool around a central area that contains a restaurant. The central area is a r
zzz [12365]

The triangle is positioned within the circle, with its vertices lying on the circle's edge - since the center of the circle is located on the hypotenuse, that hypotenuse serves as the diameter (D) of the circle.

:

D = 120 feet

:

Calculating the circumference of the circle gives: 22/7 * 120 = 377.14 feet.

The perimeter of the triangle is calculated as 120 + 60 + 103.92 = 283.92

:

********************************************************

1) The combined distance around both circle and triangle totals 661.06 feet.

********************************************************

:

**************************************************************

2) The vertices for the triangle's central area must touch the circular pool - to find the center of the pool, draw perpendicular bisectors from two of the triangle's sides; where they meet is the center.

The distance from the center to any vertex of the triangular area represents the radius of the


circular pool.

**************************************************************

:

*****************************************************************

3) The intersection of the triangle's angle bisectors indicates the center of the shark tank.

*****************************************************************

:

***********************************************************

4) The pool's volume is calculated as ((π * 60^2) - area of triangle) * 4 =

(11314.285) - (1/2 * 103.92 * 60) * 4 = 32786.74 cubic feet.

***********************************************************

:

*****************************************

5) 8196.685 * x < 30000

x < 3.66 feet

The average depth needs to be below 3.66 feet

How to draw a picture that represents 24 divided by 6
Leona [12618]
To illustrate, depict a cake or pie divided into 24 segments. Then, surround this cake with 6 figures, applying a distinct color for each set of 4 cake pieces and matching it to the respective figure.

For example, if 4 segments of cake were colored red, then one of the figures should also be red, ensuring that each figure corresponds to 4 pieces of cake.
