$\frac{1}{6}$ *(2x-12x) = 30

$\frac{1}{6}$ *(-10x) = 30

$\frac{-10}{6}$ x = 30

$\frac{-5}{3}$ x = 30

$\frac{5}{3}$ x = -30

x = -30/ $\frac{5}{3}$ = -30 * $\frac{3}{5}$

x = -18

the correct answer is C

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

−18

(2x − 12x) = 30

x − 2x = 30

x −

x = 30

−

x = 30

x = 30(−

)

x = −

x = −18

A researcher is interested in determining if the more than two thirds of students would support making the Tuesday before Thanks

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is, {H₀}: p = 0.66, H₀: p = 0.66 .

The alternative hypothesis is, {Hₐ}: p > 0.66, Hₐ: p > 0.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the proportion of students who are supportive of making the day before Thanksgiving a holiday.

Since two populations are considered, the alternative hypothesis for the difference of the means of the two populations has to be stated.

The proportion of two-third students are supportive of making the day before Thanksgiving a holiday is p = 0.66 obtained as shown below:

The null hypothesis is,

{H₀}:p = 0.66, H₀: p = 0.66

The alternative hypothesis is,

{Hₐ:p > 0.66, Ha: p > 0.66

The null hypothesis is, {H₀}: p = 0.66, H₀: p=0.66 .

The alternative hypothesis is, {Hₐ}: p > 0.66, Hₐ: p > 0.66

The first discount on a camera was 18%. The second discount was 20%. After these two discounts the price was $328. What was the

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

$500

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the original price of the camera through a proportion. A proportion is an equation where two ratios or fractions are equal. The ratios or fractions compare like quantities.

Second Discount

20% off means we paid 80%. We know we paid $328 of some price.

$\frac{80}{100} =\frac{328}{y}$

I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.

$80y=100(328)\\80y=32800$

I now solve for y by dividing by 80.

$\frac{80y}{80} =\frac{32800}{80} \\y= $410$

The price after the first discount was $410.

First Discount

We will repeat the steps above with $410. 18% off means we paid 82%.

$\frac{82}{100} =\frac{410}{y}$

I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.

$82y=100(410)\\82y=41000$

I now solve for y by dividing by 82.

$\frac{82y}{82} =\frac{41000}{82} \\y= $500$

The original price was $500.

What do I do to figure out this problem: 3x+8=26+x

Gnom [1K]

3x + 8 = 26 + x

The first thing you need to do is understand what you're looking for ...
what a 'solution' means, what it looks like, and how you even know
when you have it. I'm not sure you're there yet.

The 'answer' or the 'solution' to the problem is a number. It's the number
that 'x' must be in order for that line at the top to be a true statement. There's
only one possibility.

To find it, you can do anything you want to either side of the problem, as long as
you do exactly the same thing to the other side too. With that ability, here's how
to 'figure out the problem', and find the answer:

The original problem: 3x + 8 = 26 + x

Subtract 8 from each side:

3x = 18 + x

Subtract 'x' from each side:

2x = 18

Divide each side by 2 :

x = 9 .

That's what the answer looks like, and that's what the answer is.

' 9 ' is the ONLY number you can write in place of 'x' in the problem,
and have the problem read true.

I'll show you what I mean. Let's take the original problem

 3x + 8 = 26 + x

and let's write ' 2 ' wherever we see 'x' :

3 (2) + 8 = 26 + 2

3 (2) means 3 times 2, and that's 6 .
So now we have

6 + 8 = 26 + 2

Do the addition on each side, and we have

14 = 28 .

That's nonsense. 14 is not equal to 28 . The reason that happened
is because we put the wrong number in place of 'x' . When we put the
correct number in place of 'x', the left side will be equal to the right side.
To 'figure out the problem' means to find out what that number must be.
For this particular problem, it's 9 .

Answer : 7,889

Hundreds digit : 800
Tens digit : 80

800 ÷ 80 = 10 (800, the hundreds digit, is 10 times as great as the tens digit, 80)
