(x+2)(1-x)=-4

subtract 2 from both sides: x(1-x)=2

simplify:x-2x=2

subtract: -x=2

switch the negatives

x=-2

Dyna has ran 3 km of her race. If she is 65% of the way done. how long is the race altogether? Round to the nearest tenth.

Eddi Din [679]

Lets say the race is x km long.

That means she ran 65% of x.

And that also means that 65% of x = 3

So 65%*x=3

65/100x=3

x=3*100/65

x=300/65

x=4.62

The table shows the number of minutes Garrett practiced his trombone each week in one month. Week Number of Minutes Practiced 1

vredina [299]

Answer:

$\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

The reason is because we assume that each week have the same weight and replacing we got:

$\bar X= \frac{190+163+327+205}{4}= 221.25$

And the best option would be:

D. 221.25

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data given

Week 1 2 3 4

Minutes 190 163 327 205

For this case we can find the mean with the following formula:

$\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

The reason is because we assume that each week have the same weight and replacing we got:

$\bar X= \frac{190+163+327+205}{4}= 221.25$

And the best option would be:

D. 221.25
