Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-3x

We can simplify this expression

2x

Now we can substitute x=2

2(2)

=4

x is a placeholder for a number. Think of it as a box. Inside the box, we're told that 2 is there.

So we'll replace every x with 2 and use PEMDAS

5*x - 3*x = 5*2 - 3*2 = 10 - 6 = 4

After simplifying, the answer is 4.

Suppose a researcher is testing to see if a basketball player can make free throws at a rate higher than the NBA average of 75%.
stich3 [128]

Answer: A. Repeated results if the player makes 75% of his shots in the long run.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null distribution is always the opposite of the alternative distribution which in most cases represents the claim or hypothesis which is to be tested or performed. In the scenario given, the challenge is to show that a basketball player has an average higher than that of the NBA. NBA average stands at 75%. The alternative hypothesis is the claim, which is ;

H1 : μ > 75%

THE null is thus :

H0 : μ = 75% ; which means that repeated result of the player will yields an average of 75%

A chemist has a 40% alcohol solution and a 25% alcohol solution. How much of each should he mix together to get 50 liters of a 3
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

33 1/3 L of the 40% solution, 16 2/3 L of the 25% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up two equations...

Let x represent the number of Liters of the 40% solution

Let y represent the number of Liters of the 25% solution

We need 50 liters total, so

x + y = 50

and we need the 50 L to be 35% solution, so

0.4x = 0.25y =  0.35(50)  

Solve the first equation for one variable...

x = 50 - y             (subtract y from both sides in equation 1)

Now substitute that value into the second equation...

0.4(50 - y) + 0.25y = 17.5      (x becomes 50 - y, 0.35(50) = 17.5)

Now solve for y...

20 - 0.4y + 0.25y = 17.5

  -0.15y = -2.5

      y = 16.66666667

        y = 16 2/3 L

So we need to plug that into the first equation to find 'x'

x + 16 2/3 = 50

x = 50 - 16 2/3

x = 33 1/3

Sally is having a problem with her puppy leaving the yard so she decides to build a new fence. The length of the yard is 10 feet
Cerrena [4.2K]

The length of the yard is 25ft.

In order to find this we first need to set up variables for the length and the width. Since we don't know anything about the width, we'll set it as x. Then, we know the length is equal to ten more than three times the width. Since the width is x, we can write the length as 3x + 10. Now we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle to solve for x.

2l + 2w = P

2(3x + 10) + 2(x) = 60

6x + 20 + 2x = 60

8x + 20 = 60

8x = 40

x = 5

Now that we have a value for x, we can plug into the length equation and find the length.

3x + 10

3(5) + 10

15 + 10
