the first one is a quadrilateral
Step-by-step explanation:
a quadrilateral have four side
A.
To solve, you need to get the variable by itself.
Order of operations:
Square root both sides.
(x-5)= plus/minus root 3, as 3 is not a perfect square.
Now you need to add 5 to both sides to get it to disappear on the side with the x.
x=root3 +or - 5, which can be rearranged so that 5 is the first term.
Answer:
It would be 5.5

Answer: <u>4 pounds</u> of brand X sugar
====================================================
Reason:
n = number of pounds of brand X sugar
5n = cost of buying those n pounds, at $5 per pound
Brand Y costs $2 per pound, and you buy 8 lbs of it, so that's another 2*8 = 16 dollars.
5n+16 = total cost of brand X and brand Y combined
n+8 = total amount of sugar bought, in pounds
3(n+8) = total cost because we buy n+8 pounds at $3 per pound
The 5n+16 and 3(n+8) represent the same total cost.
Set them equal to each other. Solve for n.
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5n+16 = 3n+24
5n-3n = 24-16
2n = 8
n = 8/2
n = 4 pounds of brand X sugar are needed
-------------
Check:
n = 4
5n = 5*4 = 20 dollars spent on brand X alone
16 dollars spent on brand Y mentioned earlier
20+16 = 36 dollars spent total
n+8 = 4+8 = 12 pounds of both types of sugar brands combined
3*12 = 36 dollars spent on both types of sugar brands
The answer is confirmed.
--------------
Another way to verify:
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5*4+16 = 3(4+8)
20+16 = 3(12)
36 = 36
Answer:
The number of observations in the data set expected to be below a value of 231 is of 4793.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:
68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.
99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
In this problem, we have that:
Mean = 195
Standard deviation = 12
The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that 50% of the observations are above the mean and 50% are below.
Proportion of observations below 231:
231 = 195 + 3*12
So 231 is three standard deviations above the mean.
Of the 50% of observations below the mean, all are below 231.
Of the 50% of observations above the mean, 99.7% are between the mean of 195 and three standard deviations above the mean(231).
So, the proportion of observations below 231 is:
Out of 4800:
0.9985*4800 = 4793
The number of observations in the data set expected to be below a value of 231 is of 4793.
