Answer:

<u>Divide by -8</u> on both sides. <u>Flip</u> the inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

You didn't provide any answer choices, but here's how you would solve this:

$-8x < 32\\\\\frac{-8x}{-8} < \frac{32}{-8}\\ \\x > -4$

Notice that because we divided by a negative, the inequality sign must flip in the other direction!

What is the greatest common factor of 9x^{2}y9x 2 y and 5x^{4}y^{2}5x 4 y 2 ?

Musya8 [376]

ANSWER

The greatest common factor is
${x}^{2} y$

EXPLANATION

We want to find the greatest common factor of

$9 {x}^{2} y$

and

$5 {x}^{4} {y}^{2}$

The prime factorizations are;

$9 {x}^{2} y = {3}^{2} \times {x}^{2} \times y$

and

$5 {x}^{4} {y}^{2} = 5 \times {x}^{4} \times {y}^{2}$

The product of the least powers of the common factors is the greatest common factor.

$= {x}^{2} y$

Monthly water bills for a city have a mean of $108.43 and a standard deviation of $36.98. Find the probability that a randomly s

GaryK [48]

Answer:

The bill size can be considered usual.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean (μ) = $108.43

Standard deviation (σ) = $36.98

Now, consider the distribution to be normal distribution :

$P(Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{a-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{173-108.43}{36.98})\\\\\implies P(Z>1.75)$
