Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

5 x - 5 = 3 x - 9

Subtract 3 x from both sides:

(5 x - 3 x) - 5 = (3 x - 3 x) - 9

5 x - 3 x = 2 x:

2 x - 5 = (3 x - 3 x) - 9

3 x - 3 x = 0:

2 x - 5 = -9

Add 5 to both sides:

2 x + (5 - 5) = 5 - 9

5 - 5 = 0:

2 x = 5 - 9

5 - 9 = -4:

2 x = -4

Divide both sides of 2 x = -4 by 2:

(2 x)/2 = (-4)/2

2/2 = 1:

x = (-4)/2

The gcd of -4 and 2 is 2, so (-4)/2 = (2 (-2))/(2×1) = 2/2×-2 = -2:

Answer:  x = -2

What is a statistical question and what is its purpose? Be sure to include the 3 characteristics that make it up.
sattari [20]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What is a statistical question and what is its purpose? Be sure to include the 3 characteristics. That makes it up.

Answer- and statistical question is a question that guides research by defining the population of a given topic and that anticipates variability in the collected data. The purpose of a statistical question is it is the first step of the statistical process. The 3 characteristics  of a statistical question are allows for clear responses, includes a specific population, and anticipates variability of the data.

What does it mean for data to have variability as it refers to statistical questions? Give an example.

A statistical question has more than one possible answer

Example- how many chores do you have? Some people might say 5 or 2 or even 0. It just depends on the person's family.

Well a dot diagram is like this for example,

And a histogram is this,

Dot diagram uses dots and the histogram uses bars.

When would we use them? Well that I can explain, you can use the dot diagram  to see what pets people have or even to see how many people scored how many points.

A histogram can be used for a concert. There would be like on the bottom,  0-6, 7-12, and so on. The bars show how many people from what age group are joining the concert.

Explain the difference between center and shape of a data set.

The center is the median and/ or mean of the data. The spread is the range of the data. And, the shape describes the type of graph.

hope this helps give brainiest.

Working alone, it would take Shandra 40 minutes to sand a table. To sand the same table, also working alone, it would take
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:  it will take them about 24 minutes working together

Step-by-step explanation:

1/40    +   1/60 =

6/240 +  4/240 = 10/240 = 1/24

1/24 = 1/t

Cross multiplication:

1*t = 1*24  

t= 24

Find the exact value of the trigonometric expression given that sin u = − 8 17 and cos v = − 24 25 . (Both u and v are in Quadra
Rashid [163]

Answer: sin u = -5/13 and cos v = -15/17

Step-by-step explanation:

The nice thing about trig, a little information goes a long way. That’s because there is a lot of geometry and structure in the subject. If I have sin u = opp/hyp, then I know opp is the opposite side from u, and the hypotenuse is hyp, and the adjacent side must fit the Pythagorean equation opp^2 + adj^2 = hyp^2.

So for u: (-5)^2 + adj^2 = 13^2, so with what you gave us (Quad 3),

==> adj of u = -12 therefore cos u = -12/13

Same argument for v: adj = -15,

opp^2 + (-15)^2 = 17^2 ==> opp = -8 therefore sin v = -8/17

The cosine rule for cos (u + v) = (cos u)(cos v) - (sin u)(sin v) and now we substitute: cos (u + v) = (-12/13)(-15/17) - (-5/13)(-8/17)

I am too lazy to do the remaining arithmetic, but I think we have created a way to approach all of the similar problems.

Round to the nearest whole number 3.713 divided by 0.413
babunello [35]

After the division, we get 8.99031476998. This rounds to <u>9</u> as a whole number, which is the answer.

When rounding to a whole number, the digits following the decimal decide what number it rounds to. If it is 0-4 it rounds to whatever the whole number currently is E.G.

8.1 would round to 8

But if its 5-9 it rounds to one above, like in our current case.

8.5 rounds to 9.

42.414 rounds to 42.

42.94149124 rounds to 43.
