Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the fact that line segments AB and BC are parts of the whole line segment AC, we can write the following equation:

AB + BC = AC

Now, using the given values, we can substitute in for the equation and solve for x:

AB + BC = AC

9 + 2x - 5 = x + 9

2x + 4 = x + 9

x = 5

Thus, we have found that for these sets of equations for these line segments, our value for x should be 5.

Cheers.

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

AB + BC = AC

9+ 2x-5 = x+9

Combine like terms

2x+4 = x+9

Subtract x from each side

2x+4-x = x+9-x

x+4 = 9

Subtract 4 from each side

x+4-4 = 9-4

x=5

Answer:

Job has the weakest association with the dependent variable income.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient is used to determine the the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables.

It is denoted by r and the value of r ranges from -1.00 to 1.00.

The correlation data provided is as follows:

Income Education Job Age

Income 1.000

Education 0.677 1.000

Job 0.173 -0.181 1.000

Age 0.369 0.073 0.689 1.000

The dependent variable is the income.

And the variables Education, Job and Age are independent variables.

The correlation between Income and Job is 0.173.

This is the lowest correlation coefficient between the dependent and independent variable.

Thus, Job has the weakest association with the dependent variable income.
