VARVARA [1.3K]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Also, follow PEMDAS.

First, distribute 4 to all terms within the parenthesis:

4(3x + 2) = (4)(3x) + (4)(2) = 12x + 8

12x + 8 = 68

Isolate the variable x. Subtract 8 from both sides.

12x + 8 (-8) = 68 (-8)

12x = 68 - 8

12x = 60

Isolate the variable, x. Divide 12 from both sides.

(12x)/12 = (60)/12

x = 60/12

x = 5

5 is your answer for x.

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

4(3x+2)=68

Divide each side by 4

4/4(3x+2)=68/4

3x+2 =17

Subtract 2 from each side

3x+2-2 = 17-2

3x = 15

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 15/3

x =5

Can someone please solve for x:
BabaBlast [244]
Make the denominator into 10x:
5x/10x +20/10x=x(x+4)/10x
5x+20=x(x+4)
5x+20=x²+4x
x²-x-20=0
(x-5)(x+4)=0
x=5 or -4
the third choice is correct.

What is the equation of a line with a slope of -1/2 and passes through the point (6,-6)
Vlad [161]
Well I am going to assume you need slope-intercept form. So the equation is y=mx+b. m is slope, b is y intercept. So you just plug it in -6= -1/2(6)+b. -6=-3+b. Now you figure out for b so what does b have to be to make the equation equal. Well -3 so -6=-3+-3, or -6=-6. 

y=-1/2x-3

The operation manager at a tire manufacturing company believes that the mean mileage of a tire is 48,564 miles, with a standard
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

0.0091 = 0.91% probability that the sample mean would be less than 48,101 miles in a sample of 281 tires if the manager is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 48564, \sigma = 3293, n = 281, s = \frac{3293}{\sqrt{281}} = 196.44

What is the probability that the sample mean would be less than 48,101 miles in a sample of 281 tires if the manager is correct?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 48101. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{48101 - 48564}{196.44}

Z = -2.36

Z = -2.36 has a pvalue of 0.0091

0.0091 = 0.91% probability that the sample mean would be less than 48,101 miles in a sample of 281 tires if the manager is correct

Mikaela friends brought a big box of crackers to the movies. 53 crackers are whole wheat and 29 are cheese flavored. The remaini
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: 123 crackers

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1/3 of the box contains sesame seed crackers, then, 2/3 of the box contains whole wheat and cheese flavored crackers.

Total number of whole wheat and cheese flavored crackers = 53 + 29 = 82

Let x be the total number of crackers in the box, so we will have the equation

2/3 x= 82

x = 82 ÷ 2/3; we will get

X =82 x 3/2

X = 123 crackers
