Solve for x: 4x - 8 = 7x - 2<br>Anyone know the answer for this one?<br>Thanks!

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

$\huge{ \fbox{ \tt{x = - 2}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\underline{ \underline{ \mathfrak{Let's \: solve}}} :$

$\star{ \sf{ \: \: 4x - 8 = 7x - 2}}$

$\text{Step \: 1} : \sf{Move \: 7x \: to \: left \: hand \: side \: and \: change \: its \: sign}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{4x - 7x - 8 = - 2}}$

$\text{Step \: 2} : \sf{Move \: 8 \: to \: right \: hand \: side \: and \: change \: its \: sign}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{4x - 7x = - 2 + 8}}$

$\text{Step \: 3} : \sf{Collect \: like \: terms}$

$\sf{Like \: terms \: are \: those \: which \: have \: same \: base}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ - 3x = - 2 + 8}}$

$\text{Step \: 4} : \sf{Calculate}$

$\underline{ \text{Remember!}} : \sf{The \: negative \: and \: positive \: integers \: are \: always \: subtracted \: but \: posses \: the \: sign \: of \: the \: bigger \: integer.}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ - 3x = 6}}$

$\text{Step \: 4} : \sf{Divide \: both \: sides \: by \: - 3}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{ - 3x}{ - 3} = \frac{6}{ - 3}}}$

$\text{ Step \: 4} : \sf{Calculate}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{x = - 2}}$

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

A random sample of 8 recent college graduates found that starting salaries for architects in New York City had a mean of $42,653

ycow [4]

Answer:

C. (36337.32, 48968.68)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.025 = 0.975$ , so $z = 1.96$

Now, find M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

$M = 1.96*\frac{9114}{\sqrt{8}} = 6315.68$

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 42653 - 6315.68 = 36337.32.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 42653 + 6315.68 = 48968.68.

So the correct answer is:

C. (36337.32, 48968.68)

Question 2 of 10

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the base angles are the same, the side have to be the same

ML = MN

4x = x+3

Subtract x from each side

4x-x = x+3-x

3x= 3

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 3/3

x = 1

We want the length of MN

MN = x+3 = 1+3 = 4

Derek and Mia place two green marbles and one yellow marble in a bag. Somebody picks a marble out of the bag without looking and

Ahat [919]

Step-by-step explanation:

With each draw, the probability of selecting a green marble is 2/3 and the probability of selecting a yellow marble is 1/3.

To pick two of the the same color, they can either pick green twice or yellow twice.

P = (2/3)(2/3) + (1/3)(1/3)

P = 5/9

To pick two different colors, they can either pick green first then yellow, or yellow first then green.

P = (2/3)(1/3) + (1/3)(2/3)

P = 4/9

Expected value for Derek is:

D = (5/9)(-1) + (4/9)(1)

D = -1/9

The expected value for Mia is:

M = (5/9)(1) + (4/9)(-1)

M = 1/9
