<span>Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

</span>1/2 (6−z) = <span>z
</span><span>
(1/2) (6) + (1/2) (-z) = z (distribute)

3 + -1/2z = z

-1/2z + 3 = z

</span><span>Step 2: Subtract z from both sides.
</span><span>
-1/2z + 3 - z = z - z

-3/2z + 3 = 0

</span><span>Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.
</span><span>
-3/2z + 3 - 3 = 0 - 3

-3/2z = -3

</span><span>Step 4: Multiply both sides by 2/(-3).
</span><span>
(2/-3) * (-3/2z) = (2/-3) * (-3)

z = 2

Answer: z = 2

I hope this helps you!:) Sorry it took me so long!

In a recent year, a sample of grade 8 Washington State public school students taking a mathematics assessment test had a mean sc

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The number is $N =1147$ students

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population mean is $\mu = 281$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 34.4$

The sample size is n = 2000

percentage of the would you expect to have a score between 250 and 305 is mathematically represented as

$P(250 < X < 305 ) = P(\frac{ 250 - 281}{34.4 } < \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } < \frac{ 305 - 281}{34.4 } )$

Generally

$\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } = Z (Standardized \ value \ of \ X )$

So

$P(250 < X < 305 ) = P(-0.9012< Z$

$P(250 < X < 305 ) = P(z_2 < 0.698 ) - P(z_1 < -0.9012)$

From the z table the value of $P( z_2 < 0.698) = 0.75741$

and $P(z_1 < -0.9012) = 0.18374$

$P(250 < X < 305 ) = 0.75741 - 0.18374$

$P(250 < X < 305 ) = 0.57$

The percentage is $P(250 < X < 305 ) = 57\%$

The number of students that will get this score is

$N = 2000 * 0.57$

$N =1147$

What are the excluded values of x for x+4/-3x2+12x+36

grin007 [14]

Answer:

x = - 2, x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator of the rational expression cannot be zero as this would make the expression undefined.

Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the values that x cannot be.

Solve

- 3x² + 12x + 36 = 0 ( divide through by - 3 )

x² - 4x - 12 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

x = - 2 and x = 6 ← are the excluded values

A car requires 22 liters of petrol to travel a distance of 259.6 km. Find the amount that the car owner has to pay to travel a d

podryga [215]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

22 liters of petrol to travel 259.6 km

1litres will travel 259.6/22 km

1litres will travel 11.8km

:2013.2km needs 2013.2/11.8litre

:2013.2km needs 170.61litres

And 1 liter of petrol costs $ 1.99

So 742.88 litres will cost $1.99×170.61

= $339.51
