2x-8=12
First you add 8 to both sides...
2x = 20
Then you divide each side by 2...
x = 20
Done

Wrong things...
- did not do the same thing to the entire side of each side
- wrong multiplication choice

$2x-8=12\ \ \ \ |\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)2x-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)8=12\ \ \ |\text{here you have the mistake}\\\\\\\boxed{\text{The multiplication property of equality was not applied correctly.}}$

For this set of data,<br> 89, 88, 84, 87, 89, 84, 84, 83, 85, 89, 84<br> Find the standard deviation

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: 2.2962419891482

Step-by-step explanation: First get the mean of the numbers or the average

the mean in this case is 86

then subtract each number by the mean of 86

the numbers then become : 3, 2, -2, 1, 3, -2, -2, -3, -1, 3, -2

then square all the numbers to get : 9, 4, 4, 1, 9, 4, -4, 9, 1, 9, 4

then find the mean of those numbers which is 5.2727272727273

then find the square root of this number to find the standard deviation

2.2962419891482 is the standard deviation

hope this helps mark me brainliest if it helped

At the movie theatre, child admission is $6.30 and adult admission is $9.60 . On saturday, twice as many adult tickets as child

joja [24]

Let's assume

number of child tickets sold on saturday is x

number of adult tickets sold on saturday is y

On saturday, twice as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold

so, we get

$y=2x$

child admission is $6.30 and adult admission is $9.60

a total sales of $535.50

we get

$6.30x+9.60y=535.50$

now, we can plug y=2x

$6.30x+9.60*2x=535.50$

now, we can solve for x

$25.5x=535.5$

$x=21$

now, we can find y

$y=2*21$

$y=42$

so,

number of child tickets sold on saturday is 21

number of adult tickets sold on saturday is 42.........Answer

If 2 angles in a triangle are 71 degrees and 56 degree, what is the measure of the third angle?

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

53

Step-by-step explanation:

Sol'n

Let the remaining angle of a triangle be x.

x+71+56=180 (Sum of angles of a triangle is 180°)

or, x+127=180

or, x=180-127

.:, x=53°

.:, The measure of third angle is 53°
