3(x + 1) - 2x = -6 |use distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac
3x + 3 - 2x = -6
x + 3 = -6 |subtract 3 from both sides
x = -9
The third piece is 59 cm long.
Add the first two pieces up. 7+34= 41. Since the whole stick is 100 cm long, subtract 41 from 100 to find the length of the third piece. 100-41=59.
Answer:
Without taxes, the price will be $359.99
Step-by-step explanation:
You take the original price then divide it by ten. Then you multiply that number by 2 to get what 20% of 449.99 is. You then subtract that number from from 449.99. At least I think so. There are other ways to go faster but this is the easiest to understand.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the figure = Area of rectangle with dimensions 16 in and 4 in + Area of two right triangles with base (7 - 4 = 3) 3 in and height 8 in

Answer:
And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with excel or the normal standard table:
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where
and
We are interested on this probability
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:
And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with excel or the normal standard table:
