<h3>(2x - 4) - (6x + 6) = -2( 2x + 5 )</h3>

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Order of Operations in Mathematics follow this following rule :

  1. Parentheses
  2. Exponents
  3. Multiplication and Division
  4. Addition and Subtraction

This rule is known as the PEMDAS method.

Let us tackle the problem!

(2x - 4) - (6x +6) = 2x - 4 - 6x - 6 ⇒ open parenthesis

(2x - 4) - (6x +6) = 2x - 6x - 4 - 6 ⇒ rearrange term

(2x - 4) - (6x +6) = (2 - 6)x - 10 ⇒ factorize

(2x - 4) - (6x +6) = -4x - 10

\large {\boxed {(2x - 4) - (6x +6) = -2( 2x + 5 ) } }

<h2>Another Example :</h2>

(2x - 4) + (6x +6) = 2x - 4 + 6x + 6 ⇒ open parenthesis

(2x - 4) + (6x +6) = 2x + 6x - 4 + 6 ⇒ rearrange term

(2x - 4) + (6x +6) = (2 + 6)x + 2 ⇒ factorize

(2x - 4) + (6x +6) = 8x + 2

\large {\boxed {(2x - 4) + (6x +6) = 2( 4x + 1 ) } }

Answer:

(2x - 4) - (6x + 6)= 2x - 4 - 6x – 6= 2x – 6x – 4 – 6= -4x – 10= -2(2x + 5)

Answer: -2(2x + 5)2.

Simplify:(8+4x)/4x

Solution:

(8+4x)/4x= 4(2 + x)/4x= (2 + x)/x

Cancel 4 from the numerator and denominator

The graph of a line goes up and to the right when:
Afina-wow [57]
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

Option: C is the correct answer.

c) the coefficient of x is positive

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

We know that graph of a line goes up and to the right when the coefficient of x is positive.

Since we know that when a line goes up and to the right this means that the line is increasing and hence we will get a positive slope of the line and we know that the slope intercept of a line is given as:

y=mx+c

as m is positive this means that:

the coefficient of x is positive.

Hence, the correct answer is:

c) the coefficient of x is positive

In a binomial experiment the probability of success is 0.06. What is the probability of two successes in seven trials? a. 0.0554
ollegr [7]
7 trials = 0.06×7=0.42
2 trials = 0.06×2=0.12
So 2/7 trials = 0.12/0.42

Tim claims that a coin is coming up tails less than half of the time. In 110 tosses, the coin comes up tails 47 times. Using P-v
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.427 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{110}}}=-1.531  

p_v =P(z  

If we compare the p value obtained and using the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we have that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 10% of significance the proportion of tails is significantly less than 0.5.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=110 represent the random sample taken

X=47 represent the number of tails obtained

\hat p=\frac{47}{110}=0.427 estimated proportion of tails

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.1 represent the significance level

Confidence=90% or 0.90

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion of tails is lower than 0.5:  

Null hypothesis:p\geq 0.5  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.5  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.427 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{110}}}=-1.531  

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.1. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z  

If we compare the p value obtained and using the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we have that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 10% of significance the proportion of tails is significantly less than 0.5.

Sheldon harvests the strawberries and tomatoes in his garden. He picks 1 2/5 kg less strawberries in the morning than in the aft
Natalija [7]

Let

x ----> kilograms of strawberries that Sheldon picks in the morning

y ---> kilograms of strawberries that Sheldon picks in the afternoon

so

we have that

x=y-1 2/5

x=2 1/4 kg

substitute

2 1/4=y-1 2/5

Convert mixed numbers to an improper fraction

1 2/5=1+2/5=7/5

2 1/4=2+1/4=9/4

substitute

9/4=y-7/5

y=(9/4)+(7/5)

y=(45+28)/20

y=73/20 kg

Adds kilograms in the morning and afternoon

x+y=(9/4)+73/20)

x+y=(45/20)+(73/20)

x+y=118/20 kg

Convert to mixed number

118/20=100/20+18/20=5+18/20=5+9/10=5 9/10 kg

therefore

<h2>The answer is 5 9/10 kg</h2>
