Answer:

$x = \frac{k + c}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$4x - c = k$

Solve for:

$x$

Solution:

(1) Let's move all of components that do not contain $x$ (our target) to the right side (notice the change of sign of $c$ from negative to positive):

$4x = k + c$

(2) Let's divide both sides of equation by 4:

$\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{k + c}{4}$

(3) Now, we simplify the left side:

$x = \frac{k + c}{4}$

This is the solution.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Angle x = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle AHI = Angle HIK = 63

(This is because the two angles are corresponding angles, HI//JK)

Angle x = 180 - 63 - 45

= 72

Scott burned 20 calories per minute jogging for x minutes and 5 calories per minute for biking for y minutes. He spent a total o

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

x = 112

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create two equations 1. one that calculates calories burned and 2.another that calculates minutes:

20*x + 5*y = 1200

x + y = 120

Then we can solve for x

x = 120 - y

then we can plug that into the top equation:

20(120 - y) + 5y = 1200

divide by 5:

4(120 - y) + y = 240

distribute:

480 - 4y + y = 240

and then do all that combining like factors what not and simplify and solve:

480 - 3y = 240

-3y = -240

y = 8

NOW WE CAN JUST PLUG IN THE ANSWER FOR Y TO FIND X

8+x =120

x = 112

a strip of paper is 9/10 of an inch long. you need to cut the paper into 3/12 inch pieces. how many pieces will you be able to c

e-lub [12.9K]

We have to divide 9/10 by 3/12.

if we divide by a fraction, we can instead multiply by it's inverse:

$\frac{9}{12}/ \frac{3}{12} = \frac{9}{12} * \frac{12}{3}$

so now we count:

$\frac{9}{12} * \frac{12}{3} =\frac{9}{1} * \frac{1}{3}=3$

so we can cut exactly 3 pieces!

SAT scores are normally distributed with a mean of 1,500 and a standard deviation of 300. An administrator at a college is inter

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

The administrator should sample 968 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.88}{2} = 0.06$

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a p-value of $1 - 0.06 = 0.94$ , so Z = 1.555.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Standard deviation of 300.

This means that $n = 300$

If the administrator would like to limit the margin of error of the 88% confidence interval to 15 points, how many students should the administrator sample?

This is n for which M = 15. So

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$15 = 1.555\frac{300}{\sqrt{n}}$
