To solve this equation, you should first multiply out 5(2x + 6), which gives you 10x+30 = 8x+48. Now you can move all the x's to the left.

You can subtract 30 from 48, giving you 10x=8x+18. You can also now subtract 8x on both sides, giving you 2x=18.

Now you can divide 18 by 2, giving you x=9

10x+30=8x+48

2x+30=48

2x=18

x=9

Patrick has a 600-meter skein of yarn. He used 248.9 meters of yarn to make a hat. Does he have enough yarn to make an scarf tha

Masja [62]

Patrick has a total of 600 meters skein of yarn.

He used 248.9 meters of yarn to make a hat.

Now, If he has used 248.9 meters of yarn, we need to find how much yarn has he left.

We need to subtract the amount of yarn used from the total length. That is, 248.9 from 600.

$600-248.9=351.1$

So, now Patrick has left 351.1 meters of yarn.

Patrick needs to make a scarf that needs 354.03 meters of yarn but after making a hat he has left with only 351.1 meters of yarn. Therefore, Patrick does not have enough yarn to make a scarf.

What should be added to both sides of the equation below to complete the square?

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 6x = 8

Coefficient of the x term: 6

Divide it in half: 3

Square it: 3²

Add 3² to both sides of the equation to complete the square and keep the equation balanced:

x² + 6x + 3² = 8 + 3²

(x+3)² = 17

The data below are the ages and systolic blood pressures (measured in millimeters of mercury) of 9 randomly selected adults. Wha

seraphim [82]

Answer:

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i =459$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y_i =1227$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i =24059$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y^2_i =168843$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i =63544$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=24059-\frac{459^2}{9}=650$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}=63544-\frac{459*1227}{9}=967$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{967}{650}=1.488$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{459}{9}=51$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{1227}{9}=136.33$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=136.33-(1.488*51)=60.442$

So the line would be given by:

$y=1.488 x +60.442$

And then the best predicted value of y for x = 41 is:

$y=1.488*41 +60.442 =121.45$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we assume the following dataset given:

x: 38,41,45,48,51,53,57,61,65

y: 116,120,123,131,142,145,148,150,152

For this case we need to calculate the slope with the following formula:

$m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}$

Where:

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}$

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}$

So we can find the sums like this:

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i =459$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y_i =1227$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i =24059$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y^2_i =168843$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i =63544$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=24059-\frac{459^2}{9}=650$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}=63544-\frac{459*1227}{9}=967$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{967}{650}=1.488$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{459}{9}=51$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{1227}{9}=136.33$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=136.33-(1.488*51)=60.442$

So the line would be given by:

$y=1.488 x +60.442$

And then the best predicted value of y for x = 41 is:

$y=1.488*41 +60.442 =121.45$
