When solving an equation with an absolute value term, you make two separate equations ans solve for x:
Equation 1: |4x-3|-5 = 4
1st add 5 to both sides:
|4x-3| = 9
Remove the absolute value term and make two equations:
4x-3 = 9 and 4x - 3 = -9
Solving for x you get X = 3 and x = -1.5
When you replace x with those values in the original equation the statement is true so those are two solutions.
Do the same thing for equation 2:
|2x+3| +8 = 3
Subtract 8 from both sides:
|2x+3| = -5
Remove the absolute value term and make two equations:
2x +3 = -5
2x+3 = 5
Solving for x you get -1 and 4, but when you replace x in the original equation with those values, the statement is false, so there are no solutions.
The answer is:
C. The solutions to equation 1 are x = 3, −1.5, and equation 2 has no solution.
Answer:
4.02 gallons of paint
Step-by-step explanation:
44 * 32 = 1408 square feet
1408 / 350 = 4.02
Answer:
a) the proportion is 0.159 (15.9%)
b) the proportion is 0.524 (52.4%)
c) Ralph is 70.958 inches tall
Step-by-step explanation:
defining our random variable X= heights of men , then we can define the standard random variable Z as
Z= (X- μ)/σ , where μ is the population's mean and σ is the corresponding standard deviation of X
then for X=72
Z= (X- μ)/σ
Z= (72-68)/4 = 1
a) P(X> 72) = P(Z> 1) = 1-0.841 = 0.159 (using standard normal distribution tables)
b) for X=64 and X=74
Z₁= (64 -68)/4 = -1
Z₂= (74-68)/4 = 1.5
then
P(68<X< 74) = P(-1<Z <1.5) 0 = P(Z<1.5) - P(Z<-1) = 0.933- 0.159 =0.774
c) Z₃ = 0.933 - 0.774*0.25 = 0.7395
thus
Z₃= (X₃- μ)/σ →X₃ =μ+ Z₃*σ = 68 + 0.7395*4 = 70.958 inches
therefore Ralph is 70.958 inches tall
Answer: It is exactly 85.7142857143
But if you would like it rounded: 85.7
I would go with the second answer.
