Answer:

x = - 6 , x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

the absolute value function always gives a positive value but the expression inside can be positive or negative , that is

2x + 2 = 10 or - (2x + 2) = 10

solving both

2x + 2 = 10 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2x = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 4

- (2x + 2) = 10

- 2x - 2 = 10 ( add 2 to both sides )

- 2x = 12 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = - 6

Equation parallel to y = 3x + 2 and passing through (1, 1)

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

y = 3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x + 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, then

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (1, 1) into the partial equation

1 = 3 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 3 = - 2

y = 3x - 2 ← equation of line

A national study report indicated that 20.9% of Americans were identified as having medical bill financial issues. What if a ne

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

The p-value for this test is 0.22065.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a national study report indicated that 20.9% of Americans were identified as having medical bill financial issues.

A news organization randomly sampled 400 Americans from 10 cities and found that 90 reported having such difficulty.

Let p = proportion of Americans who were identified as having medical bill financial issues in 10 cities.

SO, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : p $\leq$ 20.9% {means that % of Americans who were identified as having medical bill financial issues in these 10 cities is less than or equal to 20.9%}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : p > 20.9% {means that % of Americans who were identified as having medical bill financial issues in these 10 cities is more than 20.9% and is more severe}
