What is the value of x in the equation 3x-1/9y=18, when y=27?

Hi Vanessa

3x -1/9 (27) =18

3x - 27/9 =18

3x- 3 =18

Add 3 to both sides

3x-3+3=18+3

3x=21

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3= 21/3

x= 7

The value of x is 7

Now let's check if my answer is correct

To check it we gonna replace x by 7 and 27 for y

(3)(7) -1/9 (27) = 18

21 -1/9 (27)=18

21- 27/9 = 18

21- 3 = 18

18 = 18

The answer is good and I hope its help:0

d) P(D|E)

Step-by-step explanation:

E = person exercises

D = person on a diet

Given the expression :

Of all the people who exercise, the probability that a randomly chosen person is on a diet.

This simply refers to a conditional probability whereby the subset from which the probability that a randomly chosen person is on diet is to be calculated is the subset of those who exercise.

In statistical parlance, the statement is expressed as ; the probability of A given B = P(A|B)

In this scenario, we say; the probability that a randomly chosen person is on a diet Given that the person exercise ; P(D|E)

Hence, the answer is D.
