Answer: x=   - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x + 2) = 3(x - 2)

 4x+8   =  3x-6

  -3x         -3x

   x+8   =  -6

     -8    =  -8

         x = -14

Answer:

x = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

4(x + 2) = 3(x - 2)

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. Distribute: 4x + 8 = 3x - 6
  2. Subtract 3x on both sides: x + 8 = -6
  3. Subtract 8 on both sides: x = -14

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

4(-14 + 2) = 3(-14 - 2)

4(-12) = 3(-16)

-48 = -48

Compute the standard deviation of the following set of data to the nearest whole number:
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, and the variance is found by using the mean. So we will do that first. I will use the population variance as opposed to the sample variance since our set of numbers is small.

The mean: 8 + 12 + 15 + 17 + 18 = 70 and divide that by 5 to get

\bar{x}=14 and use this to find the variance in the formula:

s^2=\frac{\sum(x_i-\bar{x})^2}{n} it is a bit difficult to enter that formula in correctly, but here's how it works mathematically:

s^2=\frac{(8-14)^2+(12-14)^2+(15-14)^2+(17-14)^2+(18-14)^2}{5}

Squaring this ensures us that we don't end up with zero, which would be useless.

s^2=\frac{36+4+1+9+16}{5} so

s^2=13.2 which means that the standard deviation is

s = 3.633

(If you do it with n-1 = 4 in the denominator of the variance, you get a standard deviation of 4.062)

Two sides of an isosceles triangle measures 26 and 10. What is the possible value of the third side?
spin [16.1K]

The third side of the triangle is 26.

Explanation:  

Given:

Two sides of the isosceles  triangle are 26 and 10.  

To Find:

The possible value of the third side

Solution:

Definition of Isosceles  triangle:

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with (at least) two equal sides. Isosceles triangle  has both two equal sides and two equal angles.

We also know the property of the triangle that  

Sum of two sides of triangle > third side of the triangle  

Case1. When third side is 10

Thee third side can’t be equal to 10 because it does not follow the rule of triangle  

10+10>26………which is  not possible

So the third side of the isosceles triangle is 26.

A + b = dr, solve for a
AURORKA [14]

Hey there!

Since we don't have values for b, d, and r, we can't get a specific number for the value of a, if that makes sense. It'll be represented by these variables.

To solve, we need to make sure the equation looks like a = ? .

Subtract b from each side of the equation.

<u>a = dr - b </u>

Now we have solved for a.

Hope this helps!
