The value of x is negative. What must be true about 10 - x? Explain.

1 answer:

3 0

What must be true is the expression will actually be adding 10 + (+ x), because of the two marks you have to make when subtracting by a negative.

The subtraction sign is also the negative sign. So in this case, the expression is also saying -x, which means there is two negative signs.

A double negative is a positive, so in this case the x will be turned to a positive integer.

If this is still too confusing, she can plug in a number to replace x. Let’s try it with -2:

Ex. 10 - (-2)= 12.

The two negative signs turn into one positive sign, AKA an addition sign. So, the above expression can be simplified as 10 + 2, or 12.

Write the equation of a line that passes through the points ( 2 , - 5 ) and ( 8 , - 2 ).

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

y = 1/2x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

-2 - (-5) / 8 - 2

3 / 6

= 1/2

y = 1/2x + b

-5 = 1/2(2) + b

-5 = 1 + b

-6 = b

In order to estimate the difference between the average hourly wages of employees of two branches of a department store, the fol

Julli [10]

Answer:

$0.071,1.928$

Step-by-step explanation:

Downtown Store North Mall Store

Sample size n 25 20

Sample mean $\bar{x}$ $9 $8

Sample standard deviation s $2 $1

$n_1=25\\n_2=20$

$\bar{x_1}=9\\ \bar{x_2}=8$

$s_1=2\\s_2=1$

$x_1-x_2=9-8=1$

Standard error of difference of means = $\sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}}$

Standard error of difference of means = $\sqrt{\frac{2^2}{25}+\frac{1^2}{20}}$

Standard error of difference of means = $0.458$

Degree of freedom = $\frac{\sqrt{(\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}})^2}{\frac{(\frac{s_1^2}{n_1})^2}{n_1-1}+\frac{(\frac{s_2^2}{n_2})^2}{n_2-1}}$

Degree of freedom = $\frac{\sqrt{(\frac{2^2}{25}+\frac{1^2}{20}})^2}{\frac{(\frac{2^2}{25})^2}{25-1}+\frac{(\frac{1^2}{20})^2}{20-1}}$

Degree of freedom =36

So, z value at 95% confidence interval and 36 degree of freedom = 2.0280

Confidence interval = $(x_1-x_2)-z \times SE(x_1-x_2),(x_1-x_2)+z \times SE(x_1-x_2)$

Confidence interval = $1-(2.0280)\times 0.458,1+(2.0280)\times 0.458$

Confidence interval = $0.071,1.928$

Hence Option A is true

Confidence interval is $0.071,1.928$

Answer:

8 capsules

Step-by-step explanation:

The 100 mL of solution requires 4 capsules for its preparation. (4 × 150 mg = 600 mg). So, twice as much solution (200 mL) will require twice as many capsules. It will take 8 capsules to make 200 mL of solution.
