2x+1=3x+4

Subtract 4

2x-3=3x

Subtract 2x

|-3|=-x

Divide by -1

|3|=x is your answer

First you need to work out the absolute value, |2x+1| becomes -2x -1
after that add one to both sides leaving you with: -2x=3x+4
then subtract -3x from both sides leave you with: -5x=4
lastly you divide by -5 on both sides leaving you with: x=-5/4 as your answer

To solve this word problem, we will use the Pythagorean Theorem.

Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Our side lengths are 10 and 24ft.

So, we can plug them in for a and b.

10^2 + 24^2 = c^2

100 + 576 = 676

Then, we need to find the square root of 676.

sqrt676) = 26

So, the missing length or the hypotenuse is 26 feet.

Therefore, we require 26 feet of string to measure the length of the hypotenuse in which the room is split in half.

From the data given, we estimate the population mean and population standard deviation. Then, we use this estimate to find a 95% confidence interval for the population variance and the population standard deviation.

Sample:

Salaries in millions of dollars: 2.2, 1.5, 0.5, 1.3, 2.4, 1.5, 2.7, 0.3, 2.0, 0.3

Question a:

The mean is the sum of all values divided by the number of values. So

$\overline{x} = \frac{2.2 + 1.5 + 0.5 + 1.3 + 2.4 + 1.5 + 2.7 + 0.3 + 2.0 + 0.3}{10} = 1.42$

The sample mean salary is of 1.42 million.

Question b:

The standard deviation is the square root of the difference squared between each value and the mean, divided by one less than the number of values.

$s = \sqrt{\frac{(2.2-1.42)^2 + (1.5-1.42)^2 + (0.5-1.42)^2 + (1.3-1.42)^2 + (2.4-1.42)^2 + (1.5-1.42)^2 + (2.7-1.42)^2 + ...}{9}} = 0.8772$
