Sove the equation and verify

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nostrana [21]3 years ago
8 0

Let's break the equation in several step to make things more clear: first of all, the numerator of the left hand side simplifies to

\dfrac{2x}{3}-\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{4x-3}{6}

Similarly, the denominator becomes

\dfrac{3x}{4}-\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3x-2}{4}

Dividing by a fraction means to multiply by the inverse of that fraction:

\dfrac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}} = \dfrac{a}{b}\cdot\dfrac{d}{c}

So, in your case, we have

\dfrac{\frac{2x}{3}-\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{3x}{4}-\frac{1}{2}} = \dfrac{\frac{4x-3}{6}}{\frac{3x-2}{4}} = \dfrac{4x-3}{6}\cdot \dfrac{4}{3x-2} = \dfrac{2(4x-3)}{3(3x-2)} = \dfrac{8x-6}{9x-6}

So, the equation has become

\dfrac{8x-6}{9x-6} = \dfrac{4}{3}

Multiply both sides by 3(9x-6):

3(8x-6) = 4(9x-6) \iff 24x-18 = 36x-24

Subtract 24x from both sides, and add 18 to both sides:

36x-24x = 24-18 \iff 12x=6 \iff x = \dfrac{1}{2}

The 2016 Minneapolis Resident Survey was a questionnaire that the City of Minneapolis issued to its randomly chosen residents. I
sukhopar [10]

Answer: I and III

Step-by-step explanation:

We observe in the case provided that the researcher, who has no interest in the population to intervene, is going to carry out surveys to assess whether the neighborhood is a good place to live, obtaining the following conclusions:

i. The Minneapolis Resident Survey was an observational study.

ii. The Minneapolis Resident Survey was an experiment.

iii. The figure 50.1% is a descriptive statistic for the sample.

iv. The figure 50.1% is a statistical inference for the population.:By estimating the sample, obtained by a lower percentage of the total of the respondents, it is known that with a 95% confidence interval that the rating obtained from the respondents considering that the neighborhood is a good place to live was found between 0.44 and 0.50, taking this interval as a statistical inference for the population.

The correct answer is I and III, since in this study no interventions were made to the population and only one observation of a characteristic of the neighborhood was made and in III we know that the descriptive statistic only describes data and summarizes it, which is a of the ways to display the data from the descriptive survey.
