3x+7= x-1 does x = -4?

1 answer:

8 0

Subtract x from both sides:
(3x - x) + 7 = (x - x) - 1

3x - x = 2x:
2x + 7 = (x - x) - 1

x - x = 0:
2x + 7 = -1

Subtract 7 from both sides:
2x + (7 - 7) = -7 - 1

7 - 7 = 0:
2x = -7 - 1

-7 - 1 = -8:
2x = -8

Divide both sides by 2:
2x / 2 = -8 / 2

2 / 2 = 1:
x = -8 / 2

The gcd (greatest common denominator) of 8 and 2 is 2:
-8 / 2 = 2(-4) / 2x1 = 2/2 x - 4 = -4

x = -4

Can somebody please help me i need this urgently.

Answer:

multiple choice is worth 2

short response is worth 4

Step-by-step explanation:

23x + 10y = 86

28x + 5y = 76

solve by elimination

multiply the top by -1 and the bottom by 2

-23x + -10y = -86

56x + 10y = 152

add them

33x = 66

x = 2

with x = 2 plug x into one of the equations

23x + 10y = 86

23(2) + 10y = 86

46 + 10y = 86

10y = 40

y = 4

x = 2 and y = 4 so

multiple choice is worth 2

short response is worth 4

1. The US Mint has a specification that pennies have a mean weight of 2.5g. From a sample of 37 pennies, the mean weight is foun

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

the pennies does not conform to the US mints specification

Step-by-step explanation:

z = (variate -mean)/ standard deviation

z= 2.5 - 2.4991 / 0.01648 = 0.0546

we are going to check the value of z in the normal distribution table, which is the table bounded by z.

checking for z= 0.0 under 55 gives 0.0219 (value gotten from the table of normal distribution)

we subtract the value of z from 0.5 (1- (0.5+0.0219)) = 0.4781 > 0.05claim

since 0.4781 > 0.05claim, therefore, the pennies does not conform to the US mints specification

the claim state a 5% significance level whereas the calculated significance level is 47.81%. therefore, the claim should be rejected

Answer:

C. A Fraction whose Numerator is smaller than the denominator

Step-by-step explanation:

A proper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is smaller than its denominator.

An improper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is equal to or greater than its denominator.

Example:

3/4, 2/11, and 7/19 are proper fractions, while 5/2, 8/5, and 12/11 are improper fractions.
