Answer:

The proportion of students whose height are lower than Darnell's height is 71.57%

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

A set of middle school student heights are normally distributed with a mean of 150 centimeters and a standard deviation of 20 centimeters. Darnel is a middle school student with a height of 161.4cm.

What proportion of proportion of students height are lower than Darnell's height.

Answer:

We first calculate the z-score corresponding to Darnell's height using:

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

We substitute x=161.4 , \mu=150, and \sigma=20 to get:

Z=\frac{161.4-150}{20} \\Z=0.57

From the normal distribution table, we read 0.5 under 7.

The corresponding area is 0.7157

Therefore the proportion of students whose height are lower than Darnell's height is 71.57%

Two cars got an oil change at the same auto shop. The shop charges customers for each quart of oil plus a flat fee for labor. Th
dexar [7]

Answer:

The labor fee is $14.25, each quart of oil costs $2.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x be thee price of each quart of oil and $y be a flat fee for labor.

1. If the oil change for one car required 5 quarts of oil, then these 5 quarts cost $5x and together with a flat fee for labor it cost $25.50. Thus,

5x+y=25.50.

2. If the oil change for another car required 7 quarts of oil, then these 7 quarts cost $7x and together with a flat fee for labor it cost $30.00. Thus,

7x+y=30.00.

3. Subtract from the second equation the first one, then

7x+y-(5x+y)=30.00-25.50,\\ \\7x+y-5x-y=4.50,\\ \\2x=4.50,\\ \\x=\$2.25.

Substitute it into the first equation:

5\cdot 2.25+y=25.50,\\ \\y=25.50-11.25,\\ \\y=\$14.25.

The labor fee is $14.25, each quart of oil costs $2.25.

What is the least common denominator of the rational expressions below? 1/x^2-5x+3/x^2+2x-35
Komok [63]

Here the denominators are quadratics , so we need to factorise them first

1/(x²-5x) +3/(x²+2x-35)

factorising x²-5x ,

here GCF is x, so taking x out we have

x(x-5)

factorising x²+2x-35 using AC method,

we find factors of -35 that add up to give 2

(x-5)(x+7)

Since we have x-5 common in both denominators, so lcd of the rational expression will be product of x(x-5)(x+7)

lcd is x(x-5)(x+7)

Can someone help me understand how to add and subtract negatives and positives?
IgorC [24]
Okay, as you know, adding a positive and a positive gives you a bigger positive number. e.g 21 + 19 = 40.

Subtracting a positive from a positive might give you a negative number or a smaller positive number. e.g 21 - 19 = 2 or 20 - 24 = -4. That's simple, we all learned this! :)


Adding two negatives (e.g -4 + -5) will always give you a negative number. To make it easier, just think of the numbers only (4, 5), add them together, and then just put a negative sign by the answer (e.g 4 + 5 = 9 so put - to make -9).

Subtracting two negatives can be a bit tricky! When we say, for example, -5 - -4, we must turn the negative number that was to the right of the minus ( -4) into a positive number! So now it becomes -5 +4 ! And then you get your answer. (which is -1).


Adding a positive to a negative can give you a positive or a negative answer. It just depends which number is "bigger". E.g -20 + 31. << 31 is the "bigger" number, and it is a positive, so we know that our answer will be positive. E.g -20 + 9. << 20 is the "bigger" number (even though it's a negative but forget about that) and it is negative, so we know that our answer will be negative.

Adding a negative to a positive can give you a negative or a positive answer. Like I said, it depends on which number is "bigger". e.g 20 + -9 . We can just remove the + sign and it now becomes 20 -9, which is easier to understand. 20 is the bigger number, and it is positive, so we get a positive answer. e.g 20 + -30 becomes 20 -30 and -30 is the "bigger" number and it is negative, so we'll get a negative answer.

Subtracting a negative from a positive does the thing I mentioned earlier: e.g 20 - -9. The -9 is right of the minus sign and becomes positive: 20 +9! :)

Subtracting a positive from a negative, like I said, depends on which number is "bigger". e.g -30 - 9 (we know 9 is positive even though we don't show the + sign).  Now, to make it simple, just block out the - sign by the 30 so it becomes 30 - 9. You know what that answer is: 21. But because -30 is "bigger", and it is a negative number,  the answer will be negative so it's -21. E.g -30 - 42 <<  Block out the - sign by the 30, and 42 is the "bigger" number, so the answer will be a positive. Just look at the difference between "bigger" number and the smaller number (without signs) . That'll give your answer. 42 - 30 = 12. 42 was the "bigger" number and a positive, and we looked at the difference. :)

Ber [7]

Answer: 8x−3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

7−x−−5x−10+4x

=7+−x+5x+−10+4x

Combine Like Terms:

=7+−x+5x+−10+4x

=(−x+5x+4x)+(7+−10)

=8x+−3
