Hello there.

One number is 4 less than a second number. twice the second number is 16 less than 5 times the first. find the two numbers

Answer: Call the first number x.
First number is x.
Second number is x + 4.
This is the equation presented.
2(x + 4) = 5x - 16.
2x + 8 = 5x - 16.
16 + 8 = 5x - 2x
24 = 3x
x = 8.
x + 4 = 12.
The two numbers are 8 and 12.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck Studying ^-^

Suppose the same quantity is measured but with a more precise method giving an average and standard deviation of 15.0 ± 2.5. how

abruzzese [7]

To solve this, we use the z test.

The formula:

z = (x – u) / s

where x is sample value = 20, u is the mean = 15, and s is the standard deviation = 2.5

z = (20 – 15) / 2.5

z = 2

Since we are looking for values greater than 20, this is right tailed test. We use the standard distribution tables to find for P.

P = 0.0228

Therefore:

number of students = 100 * 0.0228 = 2.28

2 to 3 students will get greater than 20 measurement

Diagram? There is no diagram given.

$i = \frac{180(n - 2)}{n}$

$i = \frac{180(12 - 2)}{12} = \frac{180(10)}{12} = \frac{1800}{12} \\ i = 150\degree$

Cannot solve b without the diagram.

Can someone help me understand this!!!

otez555 [7]

Answer:

7b, 8a

Step-by-step explanation:

using the equation y=m(x)+b, m(x) is the slope, and b is the y intercept. Oky so for 7, its a slope of negative 2, and it has a y-intercept of 5, and if you look at graph b a slope of -2 and would be a y-intercept of 5.

looking at equation a, its a Quadric function, f(x)=x^2, but it doesn't match the graph... strange because the graph for that equation would look like the image included. Hopefully this helps!
