Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 4.5(x - 2)

Distribute

1.5x + 6 -3 = 4.5x - 9

Combine like terms

1.5x +3 = 4.5x -9

Subtract 1.5x from each side

1.5x -1.5x +3 = 4.5x -1.5x-9

3 = 3x-9

Add 9 to each side

3+9 = 3x-9+9

12 =3x

Divide each side by 3

12/3 = 3x/3

4=x

Which of the following describes the correct process for solving the equation 2x + 6 =22 and arrives at the correct solution

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with 2x+6=22

You subtract 6 from each side of the equation:

2x=16

You want to isolate the "x" so you divide each side by 2.

x = 8

check your answer: 2x + 6 = 22

2(8) + 6 = 22

16 + 6 = 22

The population of lengths of aluminum-coated steel sheets is normally distributed with a mean of 30.0 inches and a standard devi

alexira [117]

Answer: 0.8490

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The population of lengths of aluminum-coated steel sheets is normally distributed with a mean of 30.0 inches and a standard deviation of 0.9 inches.

i.e. $\mu=30$ and $\sigma=0.9$

Let x denotes the lengths of aluminum-coated steel sheets.

Required Formula : $z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

For n= 36 , the probability that the average length of a sheet is between 29.82 and 30.27 inches long will be :-

$P(29.82$

∴ Required probability = 0.8490

Consecutive angles in a parallelogram are supplementary. What is the value of x?

Naddika [18.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

HERE,

$\angle{PQR=20+2x }$ ⠀

$\angle{ QRS=6x }$ ⠀

we know that,

sum of consecutive angle of a parallelogram =180

so,

According to the question,

$\angle{PQR}+\angle{QRS}=180$ ⠀

$\tt{20+2x+6x=180 }$ ⠀

$\tt{8x+20=180 }$ ⠀

$\tt{8x=180-20 }$ ⠀

$\tt{8x=160 }$ ⠀

$\tt{x=\dfrac{160}{20} }$ ⠀

$\tt{ x=20 }$ ⠀
