Try to get all your like terms to the same side. for example get all your x values to the left side and all your number values to the right side.

5 + 2x = 8x - 4
2x - 8x = - 4 - 5
      -6x = -9
          x = -9/-6
          x = 1.5  or 1 1/2




hope this helps and have a great day! :)

5 + 2x = 8x - 4

Subtract 5 from both sides, as well as subtracting 8x from both sides.

2x-8x=-4-5

Add like terms.

-6x=-9

Divide both sides by -6.

x = 3/2, or 1 1/2

~Hope I helped!~

The hypothesis is given as

H1: μd > 0

<h3>How to solve for the hypothesis.</h3>

The null hypothesis is given as

H0:  μd< 0

<h3>The alternative hypothesis is given as </h3>

H1: μd > 0

SWe have to find the value of s

we would use this formula s = sqrt [ (Σ(di - d)^2 / (n - 1) ]

This gives us  3.454

Next we have to determine the standard error

s / √(n)

3.454/2.8284

= 1.22

Degree of freedom = 8 - 1

= 7

t = (x1 - x2) - D / S.E

=  1.025

Find t critical at 0.10

= 1.895

P-value = 0.1697

d. Given that p value is greater thatn 0.1 we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Please help w my geometry! I need to show my work too. 10 points
salantis [7]
Because AB is a midsegment, the length of AB is half he length of XZ so basically you do
2(3x-1)=34.
Divide 2 by both sides to get 3X-1=17
Add 1 to boh sides to get 3X=18
Divide 3 from boh sides to get X=6
Hope this helps :)

If a 50 ft flagpole casts a 95 ft shadow, then how long is the shadow that a 5 ft tall of man casts ?
lesantik [10]

9.5 feet,to find that you must find out how many times longer the shadow of the pole is than the pole, and to do that you must divide 95 by 50, in which you get 1.9. And then to find the length of the shadow the man casts you must multiply his height by 1.9.
