If 2/3 of a certain number is subtracted from twice the number, the result is 20. Find the number.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{x = 15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Condition:

[tex]2x - \frac{2}{3} x = 20[/tex]

Multiplying 3 to both sides

=> 3(2x) - 2x = 3(20)

=> 6x - 2x = 60

=> 4x = 60

Dividing both sides by 4

=> x = 15

Answer 2

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be that number.

2/3 of x subtracted from twice of x is 20.

2x - 2/3x = 20

Solve for x.

Combine like terms.

4/3x = 20

Multiply both sides by 3/4

x = 60/4

x = 15

The number is 15.

Please HELP best answer will receive a BRAINLIEST. Given the probability density function f ( x ) = 1/3 over the interval [ 4 , 7 ] , find the expected value, the mean, the variance and the standard deviation.

Answers

Answer:

[tex] E(X) =\int_{4}^7 \frac{1}{3} x[/tex]

[tex] E(X) = \frac{1}{6} (7^2 -4^2) = 5.5[/tex]

Now we can find the second moment with this formula:

[tex] E(X^2) =\int_{4}^7 \frac{1}{3} x^2[/tex]

find the coordinates of Q' after a reflection across parallel lines; first across the line y= -2 and then across the x-axis​

Answers

Answer: new Q = (-4, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Q = (-4, 1)

Reflected across y = -2:    

Q is 3 units above y = -2 so a reflection is 3 units below y = -2 --> Q' = (-4, -5)

Reflected across x-axis:    

Q' is 5 units below x-axis so a reflection is 5 units above x-axis --> Q'' = (-4, 5)

Plug x as 2, and y as 8.

(2)³ + (8)³

Solve for exponents.

8 + 512

Add.

Answer:

( i ) 520

( ii ) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find this solution by plugging in known values -

If x = 2, y = 8

x³+y³ = ( 2 )³ + ( 8 )³ = 8 + 512

= 520

Know let us move on to the second half -

∛y = ∛8

2 x 2 x 2 = 8 - and thus 2 should be our solution for this portion.

QUESTION 4 (10 MARKS)
A retired couple requires an annual return of $2,000 from investment of $20,000. There are 3
options available:
(A) Treasury Bills yielding 9%;
(B) Corporate bonds 11%;
Junk Bonds. 130%
How much should be invested in each to achieve their goal? Give 3 sets of options that can
achieve their goal.[10 Marks]​

Answers

Answer:

  (T, C, J) = (in dollars)

     (10000, 10000, 0),

     (15000, 4915.97, 84.03),

     (18181.82, 1680.67, 137.51)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a number of ways to approach this question. We have chosen an approach that determines the investments required to achieve interest rate targets.

__

For an overall interest rate of I, the proportion that must be invested at rate I1 < I < I2 is ...

  proportion at I1 = (I2 -I)/(I2 -I1)

Similarly, the proportion that must be invested at I2 is what's left over. It can be computed similarly:

  proportion at I2 = (I -I1)/(I2 -I1)

__

We want an overall interest rate of $2000/$20000 = 10%.

Given available interest rates of 9%, 11%, and 130%, we need to have investments at a rate lower than 10% and at a rate higher than 10%.

If we use only the options for 9% and 11% (no junk bonds), then we can compute ...

  proportion at 9% = (11 -10)/(11 -9) = 1/2

  proportion at 11% = (10 -9)/(11 -9) = 1/2

1st Option:

  $10,000 in treasury bills; $10,000 in corporate bonds

__

Suppose we want to achieve a 13% return on our investments at 11% and 130%. Then the proportion invested at 9% will use this value for I2:

  proportion at 9% = (13 -10)/(13 -9) = 3/4

Of the remaining 1/4 of the money, we can achieve a 13% return by mixing the investments like this:

  proportion at 11% = (130 -13)/(130 -11) = 117/119

  proportion at 130% = (13 -11)/(130 -11) = 2/119

2nd option:

  $20,000 × 3/4 = $15,000 in treasury bills

  $5000 × 117/119 = $4,915.97 in corporate bonds

  The remaining amount, $84.03 in junk bonds

__

Let's suppose we want a 20% return on our investment in junk bonds and corporate bonds. Then the proportion of the money invested at 9% will be ...

  proportion at 9% = (20 -10)/(20 -9) = 10/11

And the proportion at 11% will be ...

  proportion at 11% = (130 -20)/(130 -11) = 110/119 . . . (of the remaining 1/11 of the funds)

3rd option:

  $20,000 × 10/11 = $18,181.82 in treasury bills

  $1,818.18 × 110/119 = $1,680.67 in corporate bonds

  The remaining amount, $137.51 in junk bonds

_____

Additional comment

The most that could be invested in Junk Bonds is $165.29. If the remainder is invested in Treasury Bills, then the overall return will be $2000. (You could consider this to be a 4th option.)

Answers

Answer:

C. With 99% confidence, it can be said that the population proportion of adults who believe in UFOs is between the endpoints of the given confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval let us make an inference about a population parameter from a sample statistic. In this case, a sample proportion let us infere aout the population proportion with a certain degree of confidence.

With this confidence interval, we are 99% confident that the polpulation proportion falls within this interval. This means that there is 99% chances of having the population proportion within this interval.

To estimate the population proportion of adults who do not believe in UFO's we should have to construct another confidence interval with the proportion (1-p), but this parameter can not be estimated from the confidence interval for p.

The winery sold 81 cases of wine this week. If twice
as many red cases were sold than white, how many
white cases were sold this week?


A. 32 cases
B. 61 cases
C. 27 cases
D. 54 cases​

Answers

Answer:

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the red cases sold = r

and the number of white cases sold = w

Total number of cases sold by the winery = 81

r + w = 81 -------(1)

If number of red cases sold is twice of white cases sold,

r = 2w ------- (2)

By substituting the value of r from equation (2) to equation (1),

2w + w = 81

3w = 81

w = 27 cases

From equation (1),

r + 27 = 81

r = 54 cases

Therefore, number of white cases sold are 27 cases

Tosh. Inc.'s bonds currently sell for $980 and have a par value of $1,000. They pay a $95 annual coupon and have a 12-year maturity, but they can be called in 3 years at $1,150. What is their yield to call (YTC)?

Answers

Answer:

14.24%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have found that the yield to call (YTC) formula is:

YTC = [C + (F-P) / N] / [(F + P) / 2]

Where:

C = Periodic coupon amount = 95

P = Current Price = 980

F = Redemption amount = 1150

N = time left to redemption = 3

We replace:

YTC = [95 + (1150-980) / 3] / [(1150 + 980) / 2]

YTC = 0.1424

In other words, the yield to call (YTC) is equal to 14.24%

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the

O y = x + 3
O y = ?X + 2
Oy=-3x + 3
y=-3x+2

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and has an x-intercept of -3 is y= 2/3x + 2.

What is Slope?

A line's slope is determined by how its y coordinate changes in relation to how its x coordinate changes. y and x are the net changes in the y and x coordinates, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to write the

change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate as,

m = Δy/Δx where, m is the slope

We have a graph.

So, slope of line in graph is

= (-1-1)/ (0.-3)

= -2/ (-3)

= 2/3

and, we know that two parallel line have same slope.

so, the slope of parallel line is 2/3 and the x intercept is -3.

So, the Equation line is y= 2/3 x  + b

0 = 2/3 (-3) +b

b= 2

Thus, the required equation is y= 2/3x + 2.

Answer:

D. 83 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle WXY is made up of two angles, angle WXD and angle YXD.

Therefore, angle WXY will be equal to the sum of angle WXD and YXD.

So, we can add angles WXD and YXD together to find out what the measure of angle WXY is.

<WXY= <WXD + <YXD

We know that angle WXD is 24 degrees and angle YXD is 59 degrees.

<WXD= 24

<YXD= 59

<WXY= 24+59

Add 24 and 59

<WXY=83

The measure of angle WXY is 83 degrees, so choice D is correct.

If the energy in the inductor at this instant is increasing at a rate of 3.0 J/s, how fast is the current changing For the cellar of a new house, a hole is dug in the ground, with vertical sides going down 2.10 m. A concrete foundation wall is built all the way across the 8.90 m width of the excavation. This foundation wall is 0.189 m away from the front of the cellar hole. During a rainstorm, drainage from the street fills up the space in front of the concrete wall, but not the cellar behind the wall. The water does not soak into the clay soil. Find the force that the water causes on the foundation wall. For comparison, the weight of the water is given by 2.10 m 8.90 m 0.189 m 1000 kg/m3 9.80 m/s2 = 34.6 kN.
