Hey there! :)

3y + 2x = 12

To find the slope of this equation, we must turn this into slope-intercept form. Slope-intercept form is very simply : y = mx + b ; where m = slope, b = y-intercept.

Our first step should be to subtract 2x from both sides.

3y + 2x - 2x = 12 - 2x

Simplify.

3y = -2x + 12

Then, divide both sides by 3 so that we could get y by itself (which is what we call isolated in the math world).

3y ÷ 3 = (-2x + 12) ÷ 3

Simplify.

y = -2/3x + 4

So, our slope is -2/3!

The surface of a table to be built will be in the shape shown below. The distance from the center of the shape to the center of
Cloud [144]
Part a : you could draw a line from each corner to the middle
This would give you 7 triangles in total

Part b : area of one triangle : 4.5*7.8 = 35.1 / 2 = 17.55in <-- area of 1 triangle

Part c : so if there are 7 triangles and the area of 1 triangle is 17.55, you would do:
7 * 17.55 = 122.85

Two consecutive integers have sum of 137
Mazyrski [523]
You would do x+ (x+1)=137
2x+1=137
Subtract 1 from each side
2x=136
x=68.
Add 1 to 68, since they are consecutive integers.
The answer is 68 and 69

A light bulb factory produces 922 light bulbs every hour. Approximately 3.34% of the light bulbs are defective, and do not work.
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The value is  \sigma = 5.46  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The number of light produced in an hour is  n  =  922

  The proportion of the bulb that are defective is  p =  0.0334

  Generally given from the question that we should use binomial distribution it then means that the standard deviation is mathematically evaluated as  

           \sigma = \sqrt{ n  *  p  (1-p)}

=>         \sigma = \sqrt{ 922  *  0.0334 *  (1-0.0334)}

=>         \sigma = 5.46
