Answer:
a = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
3(1 - 2a) = -3a - 18
3 - 6a = - 3a - 18
Add 18 to each side:
3 + 18 - 6a = - 3a - 18 + 18
21 - 6a = - 3a
Add 6a to each side:
21 - 6a + 6a = - 3a + 6a
21 = 3a
3a = 21
Divide each side by 3:
3a ÷ 3 = 21 ÷ 3
a = 7
Answer:
length=45 m (2 sides = 90m)
Step-by-step explanation:
5x +3x=144
8x=144
x=18 (each of the 8 parts of 144 measure 18m)
5(18) + 3(18)=144
90 +54=144
90/2=45 (1 length side)
54/2=27 (1 width side)
The rectangle= 45+45 +27+27 = 144
C. You'd be starting at a higher floor (positive number) and descending floors (negative number per x). If you assume x is time it's a little more logical and visual.
6. Often, judging the symmetry and skewness of such distributions is not easy to do by eye, especially when they are asymmetrical or skewed in different ways. Here, the mean of set A is about 7, so the data is skewed to the left more than for set B, which has a mean of about 5.4--closer to the middle of the range.
Both data sets have the same range: 2–10. Set A's mode of 8 is higher than set B's mode of 6.
Hence, the only true statement appears to be
... B. Set B has the lesser mean.
7. For each of the 3 choices of meat, there are 3 choices of bread, and for each of any of those 9 choices, there are 4 choices of condiment—a total of 3×3×4 = 36 choices in all. The best answer is ...
... C. 36
8. The pie chart tells you 5% of the $4800 of monthly income is spent on transportation. That amount is .05×$4800 = ...
... C. $240
