The answer i got was x=2 :)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
x−2 over 3−(x+3 over 5)=−1
Simplify: (Show steps)
2 over 15x+−19 over 15=−1
Step 2: Add 19/15 to both sides.
2 over 15x+−19 over 15+19 over 15=−1+19 over 15
2 over 15x=4 over 15
Step 3: Multiply both sides by 15/2.
(15 over 2)*(2 over 15x)=(15 over 2)*(4 over 15)

If sales tax is 6% and you buy a shirt for $25 how much do you owe?

Leona [35]

Answer:

26.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to calculate the sales tax

25 * 6%

Changing to decimal from

25 * .06

1.50

Then we add the tax to the cost of the shirt

25+1.50

26.50

We owe 26.50

A survey of shoppers is planned to determine what percentage use credit cards. prior surveys suggest 63% of shoppers use credit

We would need a sample size of 560.

We first calculate the z-score associated. with this level of confidence:
Convert 95% to a decimal: 95% = 95/100 = 0.95
Subtract from 1: 1-0.95 = 0.05
Divide by 2: 0.05/2 = 0.025
Subtract from 1: 1-0.025 = 0.975

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this is associated with a z-score of 1.96.

The margin of error, ME, is given by:
$ME=z*\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

We want ME to be 4%; 4% = 4/100 = 0.04. Substituting this into our equation, as well as our proportion and z-score,
$0.04=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.63(1-0.63)}{n}}
\\
\\\text{Dividing both sides by 1.96,}
\\
\\\frac{0.04}{1.96}=\sqrt{\frac{0.63(0.37)}{n}}
\\
\\\text{Squaring both sides,}
\\
\\(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2=\frac{0.63(0.37)}{n}
\\
\\\text{Multiplying both sides by n,}
\\
\\n(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2=0.63(0.37)
\\
\\n(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2=0.2331
\\
\\\text{Isolating n,}
\\
\\n=\frac{0.2331}{(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2}=559.67\approx560$

Please help :)

For a system of equations such as this, add both of the equations together. The d values will cancel each other out, making 2e=-4. This means that e=-2. If you plug this into one of the equations, you will have d + (-2) = 1. Isolate the variable by adding -2 to both sides: d=3. Written in the format described above (d,e), your answer is (3, -2).
