That question is accompanied by these answer choices:

<span>A. The scale is accurate but not precise.
B. The scale is precise but not accurate.
C. The scale is neither precise nor accurate.
D. The scale is both accurate and precise.

Then you need to distinguish between accuracy and precision.

Accuracy refers to the closeness of the measure to the real value, while precision, in this case, refers to the level of significant figures that the sacle report.

The fact that the scale reports the number with 4 significant figures means that it is very precise, but the fact that the result is not so close to the real value as the number of significan figures pretend to be, means that the scale is not accurate.

So, the answer is that the scale is precise but not accurate (the option B</span>

Please help with this one
anyanavicka [17]

Ok this inequality tells you the number of devices you can have before the new plan costs more than the old plan. The new plan expression is $4.50x + $94m =  y ( total cost). The old plan is $175m = y (total cost). You can see m (number of months) in both equations, you don't need it this time since we're going to to compare both to one month. Since they're both equal to y you can make them equal to each other. $4.50x + $94 = $175. Now you want to figure when the new plan is less than the old plan you switch the equal sign for a less than sign. $4.50x + $94 < $175; this will help you find the inequality you want. From there just use algebraic steps to find that x has to less than 18 or

x < 18.

20k + 5 = 5k + 65 know the answer
Katyanochek1 [597]

Solving for 'k'

20k + 5 = 5k + 65

20k = 5k + 65 -5

20k = 5k + 60

20k - 5k = 60

15k = 60

15k/15 = 60/15

k = 4
