Equation

Let the number = x

2*(x + 9) = x - 8    

Solve

2(x + 9) = x - 8                    Remove the brackets on the left

2x + 18 = x - 8                    Subtract x from both sides

2x - x + 18 = - 8                  2x and - x will combine

x + 18 = - 8                          Subtract 18 from both sides

x = -8 - 18

x = - 26

Check

<em>LHS</em>

2(-26 + 9)

2(-17)

-34

<em>RHS</em>

x - 8

-26 - 8

- 34 and the RHS = LHS and they check

Which statement is true? A.27/19&lt;11/30 B.17/31&gt;19/14 C.16/26&gt;30/31 D.35/30&lt;22/12
Mrac [35]

A. \frac{27}{19}

To find greater than or smaller than relation, we multiply the terms like (numerator of L.H.S with denominator of R.H.S and put the value on the left side. Then multiply the denominator of L.H.S with numerator of R.H.S and put the value on right side. Now compare the digits.)

So, solving A,  we get 810<209  ... This is false

B. \frac{17}{31}>\frac{19}{14}

= 238>589   ..... This is false

C. \frac{16}{26}>\frac{30}{31}

= 496>780    .... This is false

D. \frac{35}{30}

= 420<660   ..... This is true

Hence, option D is true.

A factory dumps an average of 2.43 tons of pollutants into a river every week. if the standard deviation is 0.88 tons, what is t
vovikov84 [41]
25.8%  
First, determine how many standard deviations from the norm that 3 tons are. So:
 (3 - 2.43) / 0.88 = 0.57/0.88 = 0.647727273  
So 3 tons would be 0.647727273 deviations from the norm. Now using a standard normal table, lookup the value 0.65 (the table I'm using has z-values to only 2 decimal places, so I rounded the z-value I got from 0.647727273 to 0.65). The value I got is 0.24215. Now this value is the probability of getting a value between the mean and the z-score. What I want is the probability of getting that z-score and anything higher. So subtract the value from 0.5, so 0.5 - 0.24215 = 0.25785 = 25.785%  
So the probability that more than 3 tons will be dumped in a week is 25.8%
