If five times a number plus two is 17 what is the number

1 answer:

3 0

5 times a number plus two is 17

5(x) + 2 = 17

isolate the x, do the opposite of PEMDAS

(Note: What you do to one side you do to the other, because of equal sign)

5x + 2 (-2) = 17 (-2)

5x = 15

5x/5 = 15/5

x = 3

hope this helps

garri49 [273]

Complete question:

The manager of a supermarket would like to determine the amount of time that customers wait in a check-out line. He randomly selects 45 customers and records the amount of time from the moment they stand in the back of a line until the moment the cashier scans their first item. He calculates the mean and standard deviation of this sample to be barx = 4.2 minutes and s = 2.0 minutes. If appropriate, find a 90% confidence interval for the true mean time (in minutes) that customers at this supermarket wait in a check-out line

Answer:

(3.699, 4.701)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sample size, n = 45

Sample mean, x' = 4.2

Standard deviation $\sigma$ = 2.0

Required:

Find a 90% CI for true mean time

First find standard error using the formula:

$S.E = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$= \frac{2}{\sqrt{45}}$

$= \frac{2}{6.7082}$

$SE = 0.298$

Standard error = 0.298

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 45 - 1 = 44

To find t at 90% CI,df = 44:

Level of Significance α= 100% - 90% = 10% = 0.10

$t_\alpha_/_2_, _d_f = t_0_._0_5_, _d_f_=_4_4 = 1.6802$

Find margin of error using the formula:

M.E = S.E * t

M.E = 0.298 * 1.6802

M.E = 0.500938 ≈ 0.5009

Margin of error = 0.5009

Thus, 90% CI = sample mean ± Margin of error

Lower limit = 4.2 - 0.5009 = 3.699

Upper limit = 4.2 + 0.5009 = 4.7009 ≈ 4.701

Confidence Interval = (3.699, 4.701)

The image shows three tennis balls enclosed in a cylindrical can. Choose all that are correct. The volume of a single tennis bal

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The volume of a single tennis ball is $14.14\ in^{3}$

The volume of three tennis balls is $42.42\ in^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the volume of a single tennis ball

we know that

The volume of a sphere is equal to

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

where r is the radius of the sphere

In this problem

$r=3/2=1.5\ in$

substitute

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi (1.5)^{3}$

$V=14.14\ in^{3}$

Step 2

Find the volume of the can

we know that

the volume of the cylinder is equal to

$V=\pi r^{2} h$

where r is the radius of the cylinder

h is the height of the cylinder

in this problem we have

$r=3/2=1.5\ in$

$h=8.4\ in$

substitute

$V=\pi (1.5)^{2}(8.4)$

$V=59.38\ in^{3}$

Statement

case A) The volume of a single tennis ball is $14.14\ in^{3}$

The statement is true

See the procedure in Step 1

case B) The volume of the can is $56.55\ in^{3}$

The statement is false

The volume of the can is $59.38\ in^{3}$ --> see the procedure Step 2

case C) The empty space inside the can is $14.13\ in^{3}$

The statement is false

To find the empty space subtract the volume of three tennis ball from the volume of the can

$59.38\ in^{3}-3*14.14\ in^{3}=16.96\ in^{3}$

case D) The volume of three tennis balls is $42.42\ in^{3}$

The statement is true

To find the volume of three tennis balls multiply the volume of a single tennis ball by three

$14.14*3=42.42\ in^{3}$

One day at lunch , a restaurant served 178 burgers, 63 grilled cheese sandwiches, and 37 salads.

178+63+37=278 So if we were ESTIMATING it would be around 280.

Solve the inequality for x -5x - 49 > 113

Anika [276]

X < -40.5

To find this, here are the steps:

Combine like terms like so:

-4x - 49 > 113

Then, begin to isolate the variable x by adding 49 to both sides leaving you with:

-4x > 162

Then divide by negative four. Don’t forget, dividing by negatives switches the way the sign points so your final product will be:

x < -40.5

Hope this helps!
