Answer:

option (b) is correct.

The value of x in the equation 1.5(x + 4) – 3 = 4.5(x – 2) is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation 1.5(x + 4) – 3 = 4.5(x – 2)

We have to solve for x,

Consider the given equation 1.5(x + 4) – 3 = 4.5(x – 2)

Simplify both side by multiplying 1.5 with each term in bracket on left side, and multiplying 4.5 with each term in bracket on right side, we get,

1.5x + 6 – 3 = 4.5x – 9

Now, simplify both sides, we get,

1.5x + 3 = 4.5x – 9

Taking like terms one side, we get,

4.5x - 1.5x = 9 + 3

Simplify, we get,

3 x = 12

divide both side by 3 , we get,

x = 4

Thus, the value of x in the equation 1.5(x + 4) – 3 = 4.5(x – 2) is 4.

Thus, option (b) is correct.

The correct answer is 4

1.5 (4+4) -3 = 9

4.5 ( 4-2) =9

When testing for differences between treatment means, a confidence interval is computed with __________________?

KIM [24]

The confidence interval is based on mean square error. The mean squared error (MSE) of an estimator measures the average of the squares of the errors or deviations. MSE is calculated by the formula attached in the picture, where Xbar is a vector of predictions, X is the vector of predicted values.

Find the measure of the numbered angle.

Mila [183]

The angle adjacent to angle 6 is the one we need to find first. To do this, add the measures of the intercepted arcs and divide by 2. 60 + 50 = 110, and half of that is 55. That means that both adjacent angles to the angle 6 are 55 (vertical angles are congruent). The measure of all the angles added together is 360 and angle 6 is vertical to the other "sideways" angle, so they are congruent as well. 360 - 55 - 55 = 250. Split that up between angle 6 and its vertical angle to get that each of those measure 125. Angle 6 measures 125, choice b from above.

What are two numbers that add up to 43 and their difference is 11?

LiRa [457]

Answer:

27 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 43

x - y = 11

You can add up the two equations so the ys are cancelled out.

2x = 54

x = 27

Plug x in to find y.

27 - y = 11

y = 16

Two numbers are in the ratio 7:5 and their difference is 22.Find the numbers

omeli [17]

Answer:

Let x and y be the two numbers. Then

yx=57 and x−y=20

Cross multiplying the proportion

5x=7y or y=75x

So, x−y=20

x−75x=20⇒77x−5x=72x=20

⇒x=2140=70

y=75x=75×70=50

So smaller number is 50.

Check :yx=5070=57 and 70−50=20
