Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First I just made -2/5 into a decimal because I like to work with decimals better (which equals -.4)
Then I times everything separately in the parenthesis and got -8x+6
Next you move the 6 over to the left side of the equals sign which would make the equation be -6 = -8x
Lastly you divide the -8 from -6 and you get X = 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Regression analysis is used to infer about the relationship between two or more variables.
The line of best fit is a straight line representing the regression equation on a scatter plot. The may pass through either some point or all points or none of the points.
<u>Method 1:</u>
Using regression analysis the line of best fit is: 
Here <em>α </em>= intercept, <em>β</em> = slope and <em>e</em> = error.
The formula to compute the intercept is:

Here<em> </em>
and
are mean of the <em>y</em> and <em>x</em> values respectively.

The formula to compute the slope is:

And the formula to compute the error is:

<u>Method 2:</u>
The regression line can be determined using the descriptive statistics mean, standard deviation and correlation.
The equation of the line of best fit is:

Here <em>r</em> = correlation coefficient = 
and
are standard deviation of <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> respectively.

Answer:
(3x + 5)/2 = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
If you substitute 3 for x, you get the equation:
(3(3) + 5)/2 = 7
(9 + 5)/2 = 7
14/2 = 7
Use proportions and use letters for unknown measurements
Answer:
60 minutes for the larger hose to fill the swimming pool by itself
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
Working together, it takes two different sized hoses 20 minutes to fill a small swimming pool.
takes 30 minutes for the larger hose to fill the swimming pool by itself
Let x be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose
and y be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose
<u>To find LCM of 20 and 30</u>
LCM (20, 30) = 60
<u>To find the efficiency </u>
Let x be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose
and y be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose
x = 60/30 =2
x + y = 60 /20 = 3
Therefore efficiency of y = (x + y) - x =3 - 2 = 1
so, time taken to fill the swimming pool by small hose = 60/1 = 60 minutes
