Answer:

option 1 (2 should be distributed as 2y + 12; y = 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Equation = 2(y+6)=4y

To find : the correct step 2

To solve this equation the steps are as follow :

Step 1: 2(y + 6) = 4y

Step 2: 2y + 12 = 4y

Step 3: 2y = 12

Step 4: y = 6

To correct step 2 we have to replace 8 by 12 because 2×6=12

Therefore option 1 is correct -2 should be distributed as 2y + 12; y = 6

The correct steps to solving this problem:

Step 1: 2(y+6) = 4y
Step 2: 2y + 12 = 4y
Step 3: 12 = 2y
Step 4: y = 6

The first option explains how to correct Step 2 and shows the correct y value.

I hope that this helps you :)

Answer:

The sample size is $n = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The margin of error is E =4.266

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 2.539$

From the question we are told the confidence level is 99% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 99 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.01$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.58$

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

$n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sigma }{E} ] ^2$

=> $n = [\frac{2.58 * 2.539 }{4.266} ] ^2$

=> $n = 2$

We are currently learning triangle similarity and about dilations in geometry. We have been using cross multiplying to figure th

miss Akunina [59]

Took me a minute to think.

Form ratios.

x, the small triangle, forms a ratio with 6, the big triangle.

The part of the side that is equal(with the dash) that is part of the small triangle is equal to 6-x, the big triangle.

Yes, you can cross-multiply here!

$\frac{6}{x} = \frac{8}{6-x}$

Now, cross multiply.
P.S. Use distributive property.

36-6x = 8x

Add 6x on both sides.

36=14x

Divide by 14 on both sides.

x = $\frac{36}{14}$ = $\frac{18}{7}$
