Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the correct solution:

6 - 2x + 5 + 4x

= -2x + 4x + 6 + 5

= 2x + 11.

It looks like they added unlike terms together (4x + 5) to give 9x (incorrect) then added the 4x to give 13x.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

x = 2/5

General Formulas and Concepts:

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

5x = 2

Step 2: Solve for x

Divide both sides by 5: x = 2/5

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

Substitute: 5(2/5) = 2
Multiply: 10/5 = 2
Divide: 2 = 2

What are the solutions to the equation -5x2 + 3x = -9

Aleks04 [339]

Answer: Move terms to the left side−52+3=−9−5x2+3x=−9−52+3−(−9)=0−

Common factor−52+3+9=0−5x2+3x+9=0−(52−3−9)=0

Divide both sides by the same factor−(52−3−9)=0−(5x2−3x−9)=052−3−9=0

Solution=3±321 over 10

In order to estimate the difference between the average hourly wages of employees of two branches of a department store, the fol

Julli [10]

Answer:

$0.071,1.928$

Step-by-step explanation:

Downtown Store North Mall Store

Sample size n 25 20

Sample mean $\bar{x}$ $9 $8

Sample standard deviation s $2 $1

$n_1=25\\n_2=20$

$\bar{x_1}=9\\ \bar{x_2}=8$

$s_1=2\\s_2=1$

$x_1-x_2=9-8=1$

Standard error of difference of means = $\sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}}$

Standard error of difference of means = $\sqrt{\frac{2^2}{25}+\frac{1^2}{20}}$

Standard error of difference of means = $0.458$

Degree of freedom = $\frac{\sqrt{(\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}})^2}{\frac{(\frac{s_1^2}{n_1})^2}{n_1-1}+\frac{(\frac{s_2^2}{n_2})^2}{n_2-1}}$

Degree of freedom = $\frac{\sqrt{(\frac{2^2}{25}+\frac{1^2}{20}})^2}{\frac{(\frac{2^2}{25})^2}{25-1}+\frac{(\frac{1^2}{20})^2}{20-1}}$

Degree of freedom =36

So, z value at 95% confidence interval and 36 degree of freedom = 2.0280

Confidence interval = $(x_1-x_2)-z \times SE(x_1-x_2),(x_1-x_2)+z \times SE(x_1-x_2)$

Confidence interval = $1-(2.0280)\times 0.458,1+(2.0280)\times 0.458$

Confidence interval = $0.071,1.928$

Hence Option A is true

Confidence interval is $0.071,1.928$
