Answer:

The equivalent expression can be $-5r+5$ or $5(-r+1)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided expression.

$-5+(-5r)+10$

Open the parentheses as shown.

$-5-5r+10$

Arrange the like terms together as shown.

$-5r-5+10$

Now subtract the like terms as shown.

$-5r+5$

$5(-r+1)$

Thus, the equivalent expression can be $-5r+5$ or $5(-r+1)$ .

Answer is R+10
you have to distribute the + into -5 which will still be -5r and you keep the 10

Yolanda buys

Stells [14]

Answer:

The unit price is 4.15 dollars per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

- Yolanda buys 5.8 gallons of gas for $24.07

- We need to find the unit price in dollars per gallon

- Unit price means the price of each gallon

∵ The number of gallons = 5.8 gallons

∵ The price of the gallons = $24.07

∵ The unit price = the amount of money ÷ number of gallons

∴ The unit price = 24.07 ÷ 5.8

∴ The unit price = 4.15 dollars per gallon

* <em>The unit price is 4.15 dollars per gallon</em>

The mean SAT score in mathematics, M, is 600. The standard deviation of these scores is 48. A special preparation course claims

kupik [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean SAT score is $\mu=600$ , we are going to call it \mu since it's the "true" mean

The standard deviation (we are going to call it $\sigma$ ) is

$\sigma=48$

Next they draw a random sample of n=70 students, and they got a mean score (denoted by $\bar x$ ) of $\bar x=613$

The test then boils down to the question if the score of 613 obtained by the students in the sample is statistically bigger that the "true" mean of 600.

- So the Null Hypothesis $H_0:\bar x \geq \mu$

- The alternative would be then the opposite $H_0:\bar x < \mu$

The test statistic for this type of test takes the form

$t=\frac{| \mu -\bar x |} {\sigma/\sqrt{n}}$

and this test statistic follows a normal distribution. This last part is quite important because it will tell us where to look for the critical value. The problem ask for a 0.05 significance level. Looking at the normal distribution table, the critical value that leaves .05% in the upper tail is 1.645.

With this we can then replace the values in the test statistic and compare it to the critical value of 1.645.

$t=\frac{| \mu -\bar x |} {\sigma/\sqrt{n}}\\\\= \frac{| 600-613 |}{48/\sqrt(70}}\\\\= \frac{| 13 |}{48/8.367}\\\\= \frac{| 13 |}{5.737}\\\\=2.266\\$

<h3>since 2.266>1.645 we can reject the null hypothesis.</h3>
