What is the value of x in the equation (x + 12) = (x + 14) – 3?

(x + 12) = (x + 14) - 3

subtract 12 from each side

x = x + 14 - 3 - 12

Now if we subtract x from each side we see that x - x = 0. Combine the terms left over and we have -1, so

0 = -1

The answer is NO SOLUTION

Answer: There is NO value of 'x' in the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the value of 'x' in the equation below:

$(x+12)=(x+14)-3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

Finding the value of 'x' in equation (i) means to find the value of 'x' for which the equation is TRUE.

The solution is as follows:

$(x+12)=(x+14)-3\\\\\Rightarrow x+12=x+14-3\\\\\Rightarrow x+12=x+11\\\\\Rightarrow x-x=11-12\\\\\Rightarrow 0=-1,$

which can NEVER be true.

So, the given equation has NO solution.

Thus, there is NO value of 'x' in the given equation.

Answer:

The mean of the sampling distribution of p is 0.75 and the standard deviation is 0.0306.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem:

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$
