20x+3=17 help please

The objective is to get the variable (x) alone. To do this start be subtracting 3. What you do to one side you have to do to the other so you have to subtract three from the other side of the equal sign as well. So now you have:
20x= 17-3 subtract the 3 to get 20x=14
Now because the 20 is attached to the x In order to get the x alone you have to divide by 20:
20x/20. =14/20 divide 14 by 20

X=.7 or x=7/10

Answer: x = 7/10

Step-by-step explanation: First, we need to move all constants or variables other than x onto the other side of the equation. When a number crosses sides, its sign (- or +) changes to the opposite.

20x = 17 - 3

20x = 14

Now, we need to detach the 20 from the x. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 20 (reversing the operation; the opposite of 20 · x is 20 · x ÷ 20).

20x ÷ 20 = 14 ÷ 20

x = 14/20

x = 7/10

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

The complete question is shown in the figure below. As you can see one square units is well shown in the graph. So we can conclude that the distance between two consecutive points is 1 unit. If so, then we can calculate the area of the parallelogram as follows:

$A=b\times h \\ \\ A:Area \\ \\ b:Base \\ \\ h:Height \\ \\ \\ CB=b \\ \\ AB=h$

Then, finding CB by Pythagorean Theorem:

$CB=\sqrt{6^2+4^2} \\ \\ CB=2\sqrt{13}$

And:

$AB=4$

Therefore:

$A=(2\sqrt{13})(4) \\ \\ \boxed{A=8\sqrt{13} \ units^2}$

Major league baseball salaries averaged $3.26 million with a standard deviation of $1.2 million in a recent year. suppose a samp

Anastaziya [24]

Given:
μ = $3.26 million, averaged salary
σ = $1.2 million, standard deviation
n = 100, sample size.

Let x = random test value
We want to determine P(x>4).

Calculate z-score.
z = (x - μ)/ (σ/√n) = (4 - 3.26)/(1.2/10) = 6.1667

From standard tables,
P(z<6.1667) = 1
The area under the distribution curve = 1.
Therefore
P(z>6.1667) = 1 - P(z<=6.1667) = 1 - 1 = 0

Answer: The probability is 0.

Dans computer reads 68% of battery left after 1 hour. If the rate of using power remains the same, about how much longer will hi

Tanya [424]

Answer:

28 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Dans computer reads 68% of battery left after 1 hour. This means that 1 hour is 68% of the computer's entire battery life.

Let the entire battery life be x (in hours). Hence:

$\frac{1}{x} * 100 = 68$

Therefore:

$\frac{100}{x} = 68\\\\x = \frac{100}{68}$

=> x = 1.47 hrs = 1 hr 28 minutes

Hence, the entire battery life is 1 hr 28 minutes.

If 1 hour has elapsed, the remaining time left for his battery to provide power will therefore be:

1 hr 28 minutes - 1 hr = 28 minutes

His battery will provide power for 28 more minutes.

HELP ASAP question 5!!!

AnnyKZ [126]

Step-by-step explanation:

Total area of merged figure = area of vertical rectangle + area of horizontal rectangle.

$\therefore \: 3x(2x - 7) + (3x + 4)x = 85 \\ \\ \therefore \: 6 {x}^{2} - 21x+ 3 {x}^{2} + 4x = 85 \\ \\ \therefore \: 6 {x}^{2} + 3 {x}^{2} - 21x + 4x - 85 = 0 \\ \\ \huge \red {\boxed {\therefore \: 9 {x}^{2} - 17x - 85 = 0}} \\ hence \: proved.$
