Solve:7 +42-32-32 = 14.3-2a +7<br> A = -3<br> A= 0<br> A= 3<br> no solution

madreJ [45]

Answer:

a = 18.15

Step-by-step explanation:

$7+42-32-32=14.3-2a+7$

Combine like terms on the left side of the equation first. Add 7 and 42, then subtract 32 from the answer you get, then subtract 32 from that answer. This is going by order of PEMDAS.

Remember PEMDAS: (numbers 3 & 4 and numbers 5 & 6 are solved from left to right)

Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

$-15=14.3-2a+7$

After combining like terms on the left side, you get -15. Now combine like terms on the right side of the equation by adding 14.3 and 7.

$-15=21.3-2a$

Get -2a alone by subtracting 21.3 from both sides.

$-36.3=-2a$

Divide both sides by -2.

$a=18.15$

In this equation, a should equal $\boxed{18.15}$ .

Suppose the mean SAT verbal score is 525 with a standard deviation of 100, while the mean SAT math score is 575 with a standard

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The mean of the combined math and verbal scores is 1100, while the standard deviation is 141.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal variables

Normal variables have mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$

When we add normal variables, the combined mean is the sum of both means, and the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of both variances. The distribution is still normal.

In this question:

Verbal: $\mu_{V} = 525, \sigma_{V} = 100$ .
