Steps to solve:

x + x + 2 + 2x = -2

Combine Like Terms:

(x + x + 2x) + 2 = -2

Simplify.

4x + 2 = -2

Subtract 2 to both sides.

4x + 2 - 2 = -2 - 2

Simplify.

4x = -4

Divide 4 to both sides.

4x/4 = -4/4

Simplify.

x = -1

Recently, six single-family homes in San Luis Obispo County in California sold at the following prices (in $1,000s): 560, 468, 6

solmaris [256]

The interval for mean sale price is $582

According to statement

The given rates are 560, 468, 685, 534, 658, 593

Now,

Sample mean = X / n

Put the values in it and then

(560+ 468+ 685+ 534+ 658+ 593) / 6 = 582.1667

and use this formula S = sqrt [ X2 - n 2 / (n-1) ]

and put the values in these and

S = sqrt [ X2 - n 2 / (n-1) ] = 95.97179

So, The interval for mean sale price is $582

Jerry has a miniature model of a boat. He knows that the boat is 3 3/4 inches wide and 5 1/2 inches long. What is the actual len

FromTheMoon [43]

Width of the miniature model = $3\frac{3}{4}$ inches

Length of the miniature model = $5\frac{1}{2}$ inches

The actual width of the boat = 15 feet

Let us find the actual length of the boat.

Write it in a proportion form.

width of model : length of model : : width of actual : length of actual

$$\Rightarrow 3\frac{3}{4}:5\frac{1}{2}::15:x$

$$\Rightarrow\frac{15}{4}:\frac{11}{2}::15:x$

$$\Rightarrow\frac{\frac{15}{4}}{\frac{11}{2}} =\frac{15}{x}$

Do cross multiplication.

$$\Rightarrow{\frac{15}{4}x =15\times\frac{11}{2}$

$$\Rightarrow{\frac{15}{4}x =\frac{165}{2}$

$$\Rightarrow x =\frac{165}{2}\times{\frac{4}{15}$

⇒ x = 22

Hence the actual length of the boat is 22 feet.

Given -3(2x+7)=-29-4x prove x=4

Doss [256]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 3(2x + 7) = - 29 - 4x ← distribute parenthesis on left side

- 6x - 21 = - 29 - 4x ( add 4x to both sides )

- 2x - 21 = - 29 ( add 21 to both sides )

- 2x = - 8 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = 4 ← as required

Sandra's scores on the first 4 tests were 87%, 92%, 76%,and 89%. What is the minimum score she needs to make on the fifth test s

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Sandra need to score at least 56% in her fifth test so that her average is 80%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

First 4 test scores = 87%, 92%, 76%,89%

Average targeted = 80%

We need to find the minimum score she needs to make on fifth test to achieve average of at least 80%.

Solution:

Let the minimum score she needs to make in fifth test be 'x'.

Total number of test = 5

Now we know that;

Average is equal to sum of all the scores in the test divided by number of test.

framing in equation form we get;

$\frac{87+92+76+89+x}{5}=80$

Multiplying both side by 5 we get;

$\frac{344+x}{5}\times 5=80\times 5\\\\344+x=400$

Subtracting both side by 344 we get;

$344+x-344=400-344\\\\x=56\%$

Hence Sandra need to score at least 56% in her fifth test so that her average is 80%.
