1. (5x-8)=(8x-17)
5x-8x=-17+8
-3x=-9
x=3

2. (3x+5) + (4x-7) =180
3x+5+4x-7=180
3x+4x=180-5+7
7x=182
x=26

If AB=BC,AB=4=4x-2,andBC=3x+3,fine the length of AB

laila [671]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I'm assuming AB=4=4x-2 was a typo and it's supposed to be AB = 4x - 2

AB=BC

AB = 4x - 2 BC = 3x + 3

4x - 2 = 3x + 3

Solve for x Add 2 to each side

4x - 2 = 3x + 3

4x - 2 + 2 = 3x + 3 + 2

4x = 3x + 5 Subtract 3x from each side.

4x - 3x = 3x- 3x + 5

4x - 3x = 5

x = 5

Now plug back in to the original equations

AB = 4x - 2 BC = 3x + 3

AB = 4 (5) - 2 BC = 3(5) + 3

AB = 20 - 2 BC = 15 + 3

AB = 18 BC = 18

So AB is 18

According to the data, the mean quantitative score on a standardized test for female college-bound high school seniors was 500.

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

6.68% of the female college-bound high school seniors had scores above 575.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 500

Standard Deviation, σ = 50

We are given that the distribution of score is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

P(scores above 575)

P(x > 575)

$P( x > 575) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{575 - 500}{50}) = P(z > 1.5)$

$= 1 - P(z \leq 1.5)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x > 575) = 1 - 0.9332= 0.0668 = 6.68\%$

6.68% of the female college-bound high school seniors had scores above 575.
