The value of x is 6 in the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is;

$\frac{x}{6}+\frac{2x}{3}=5$

Taking least common multiple

$\frac{x+4x}{6}=5$

Multiplying both sides by 6

$6*\frac{5x}{6}=5*6\\5x=30$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{30}{5}\\x=6$

The value of x is 6 in the equation.

The number a exceeds the number b by 50 percent. By what percent is the number b smaller than the number a?

inna [77]

Answer:

33 1/3 percent smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

The number a exceeds the number b by 50 percent.

a = b + b*.5

a = b(1.5)

Divide by 1.5

a/1.5 = b

2/3a =b

We want to find (a-b)/a to find the percent decrease

(a-2/3a)/a *100percent

(1/3a)/a* 100 percent

1/3 * 100 percent

33 1/3 percent smaller

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{1.960(80)}{25})^2 =246.73 \approx 247$

So the answer for this case would be n=247 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the standard deviation is :

$\sigma = 80$ represent the deviation

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that ME =25 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2$ (b)

The critical value for 95% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution and the critical value would be $z_{\alpha/2}=1.960$ , replacing into formula (b) we got:

$n=(\frac{1.960(80)}{25})^2 =246.73 \approx 247$

So the answer for this case would be n=247 rounded up to the nearest integer
