3x + (x-8) = 23 how do I solve it

<span>3x + (x-8) = 23

Combine like terms first. You can combine 3x and x because they have the same variable.

4x - 8 = 23
Now add 8 to both sides.
4x = 31

Last step is to divide both sides by 4 to isolate the x.
4/4x = 31/4

x = 7.75 is the answer.</span>

HELP ASAP FOR BRAINLIEST: The mean score for a standardized test is 1700 points. The results are normally distributed with a sta
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the results for the standardized test are normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = test reults

µ = mean score

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 1700 points

σ = 75 points

We want to the probability that a student will score more than 1700 points. This is expressed as

P(x > 1700) = 1 - P(x ≤ 1700)

For x = 1700,

z = (1700 - 1700)/75 = 0/75 = 0

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.5

P(x > 1700) = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

Can someone help please Stickers are sold in packages of 15 sheets. If there are 20 students in the class, how many packages of
MrRa [10]

Answer:

4 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 20 and stickers are sold in 15 sheets, then you got to work backwards. take the answer and multiply it by the amount of sheets. For example: 4 times 15 is 60, 60 divided by 20 is 3. No leftover numbers.

Find equation of a line with the given slope that passes through the given point. Write the equation in the form Ax + By = C.
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

5x + y = -28

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given that a line has a slope of -5 and contains the point (-4, -8)

We want to write the equation of this line in standard form

Standard form is given as ax+by=c, where a, b, and c are free integer coefficients, but a and b cannot be zero, and a cannot be negative

Before we write the equation in standard form however, we need to write it in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope & b is the y intercept

As we are already given the slope, we can immediately plug that in for m in y=mx+b

y=-5x+b

Now to find b:

As the equation passes through the point (-4, -8), we can use its values to help solve for b

Substitute -4 as x and -8 as y:

-8 = -5(-4) + b

Multiply

-8 = 20 + b

Subtract 20 from both sides

-8 = 20 + b

-20  -20

__________

-28 = b

substitute -28 as b

y = -5x - 28

We found the equation in slope-intercept form, but remember, we want it in standard form

In standard form, both x and y are on the same side; so, let's move 5x to the other side; to do this, we need to add 5x to both sides

y = -5x - 28

+5x +5x

_________

5x + y = -28

Hope this helps!
