Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Expand

    8x - 5x + 5 = 20

2. Simplify

    3x + 5 = 20

3. Subtract 5 from both sides

    3x = 20 - 5

4. Simplify

    3x = 15

5. Divide both sides by 3

    x = 15/3

6. Simplify

    x = 5

What is the length of ST?
adell [148]
Hi there!

Since ST is a tangent to the circle, we can use the relationship: tangent squared = external secant segment x entire secant segment.

WORK:
(I will be using x in place of ST)
x^2 = 7(23 + 7)
x^2 = 7(30)
x^2 = 210
x = squareroot(210) or approximately 14.5 inches

Hope this helps!! :)

***PLEASE HELP***
Molodets [167]
Given:
250 sheep in a 40-acre pasture.
Number of sheep grazing in each acre.

250/40 = 6.25 or 6 sheep per acre

n = 6
sample proportion: signified by ρ
Sample 1: 4 → 4/6 = 0.67
Sample 2: 1 → 1/6 = 0.17
Sample 3: 9 → 9/6 = 1.50

multiply the sample proportion by 1-ρ
Sample 1: 0.67(1-0.67) = 0.67(0.33) = 0.2211
Sample 2: 0.17(1-0.17) = 0.17(0.83) = 0.1411
Sample 3: 1.50(1-1.5) = 1.5(-0.5) = -0.75

divide the result by n. n = 6
Sample 1: 0.2211/6 = 0.03685
Sample 2: 0.1411/6 = 0.02352
Sample 3: -0.75/6 = -0.125

square root of the quotient to get the standard error.
Sample 1: √0.03685 = 0.1919
Sample 2: √0.02352 = 0.1534
Sample 3: √-0.125 = invalid

z value 95% confidence 1.96.

Sample 1: 1.96 * 0.1919 = 0.3761 or 37.61% margin of error
Sample 2: 1.96 * 0.1534 = 0.3007 or 30.07% margin of error
