Answer:

8. m=6

9. x=2; Alyssa is incorrect because she subtracted 8 from 16 when in reality she should have divided 16 by 8 to get 2. The real solution is 2 because 8 times 2 is equal to 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 8:

2m-6=m

-2m -2m (subtract 2m from both sides)

-6=-m

- - (divide both sides by the negative)

m=6

Question 9:

8x=16 (divide both sides of the equation by 8)

8 8

x=2

dezoksy [38]

Since 1/3 can't be turned into a decimal, change .5 into 1/2. In order to subtract, the fractions need a common denominator. The least common denominator is 6. So 1/3 turns into 2/6, and 1/2 turns into 3/6. Now you need to take 9 3/6 minus 6 2/6. The answer is 3 1/6 gallons of water.

Answer:

A: Step 1: 6x − 10 = 1; Step 2: 6x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

First: remove parentheses by multiplying factors.

6x - 10 = 1

Second: Move the constants to the right side of the equation

6x = 1 + 10

6x = 11

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

$y=\frac{5}{7}x+\frac{135}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You only need two points on a line to find the equation for that line.

We are going to use 2 points that cross that line or at least come close to. You don't have to use the green points... just any point on the line will work. You might have to approximate a little.

I see ~(67.5,67.5) and ~(64,65).

Now once you have your points, we need to find the slope.

You may use $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ where $(x_1,y_1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2)$ are points on the line.

Or you can line up the points vertically and subtract then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.

Like this:

( 64 , 65 )

-( 67.5, 67.5 )

--------------------

-3.5 -2.5

So the slope is -2.5/-3.5=2.5/3.5=25/35=5/7.

Now use point-slope form to find the equation:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ where $m$ is the slope and $(x_1,y_1)$ is a point on the line.

$y-65=\frac{5}{7}(x-64)$

Distribute:

$y-65=\frac{5}{7}x-\frac{5}{7}\cdot 64$

Simplify:

$y-65=\frac{5}{7}x-\frac{320}{7}$

Add 65 on both sides:

$y=\frac{5}{7}x-\frac{320}{7}+65$

Simplify:

$y=\frac{5}{7}x+\frac{135}{7}$

The weight of strawberries follows a normal distribution with a mean weight of 12 grams and a standard deviation of 2.5 grams. I

Viefleur [7K]

This is a problem of Standard Normal distribution.

We have mean= 12 grams
Standard Deviation = 2.5 grams

First we convert 8.5 to z score. 8.5 converted to z score for given mean and standard deviation will be:

$z= \frac{8.5-12}{2.5} =-1.4$

So, from standard normal table we need to find the probability of z score to be less than -1.4. The probability comes out to be 0.0808

Thus, the probability that the strawberry weighs less than 8.5 grams is 0.0808
