Answer:

x= 34/5 = 6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given "<u>x is the midpoint of SP</u>" we can conclude that SX = XP since by the <u>midpoint definition</u> we know that X is dividing the line SP in congruent lines SX and XP.

Given "<u>SX = 42 AND XP =5X+8</u>" and that <u>SX = XP</u>, we can conclude that 5x+8 = 42.

Solve the equation to find the value of x:

5x +8 = 42, subtract 8 from both sides

5x +8 -8 = 42-8, combine like terms

5x = 34, divide both sides by 5

x= 34/5 = 6.8

Whats the answer for 6b+7-2b=1+5b

Alecsey [184]

$Solution,6b+7-2b=1+5b\quad :\quad b=6$

$Steps:$

$6b+7-2b=1+5b$

$\mathrm{Group\:like\:terms}, 6b-2b+7=1+5b$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:6b-2b=4b, 4b+7=1+5b$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}7\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}, 4b+7-7=1+5b-7$

$\mathrm{Simplify}, 4b=5b-6$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}5b\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}, 4b-5b=5b-6-5b$

$\mathrm{Simplify}, -b=-6$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-1, \frac{-b}{-1}=\frac{-6}{-1}$

$\mathrm{Simplify}, b=6$

$\mathrm{The\:Correct\:Answer\:is\:b=6}$

$\mathrm{Hope\:This\:Helps!!!}$

An organic farm has been growing an heirloom variety of summer squash. A sample of the weights of 40 summer squash revealed that

natta225 [31]

Answer:

b. 0.0228

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

n=40

Mean, $\mu=402.7 g$

Standard deviation, $\sigma=8.8$ g

We have to find the probability hat the mean weight for a sample of 40 summer squash exceeds 405.5 grams.

$P(x>405.5)=P(\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}>\frac{405.5-402.7}{\frac{8.8}{\sqrt{40}}})$

$P(x>405.5)=P(Z>\frac{2.8}{\frac{8.8}{\sqrt{40}}})$

$P(x>405.5)=P(Z>2.01)$

$P(x>405.5)=1-P(Z\leq 2.01)$

$P(x>405.5)=1-0.977784$

$P(x>405.5)=0.022216$

Hence, option b is correct.
