Answer:

<h3>The number is 500</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

The quotient of a number divided by five is written as

$\frac{x}{5}$

the number decreased by 400 is written as

x - 400

Equate the two expressions

We have

$\frac{x}{5} = x - 400$

Multiply through by 5

That's

x = 5x - 2000

x - 5x = - 2000

- 4x = - 2000

Divide both sides by - 4

x = 500

Hope this helps you

what is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (4, 0) and (2, 6)? y = 4x − 2 y = 2x − 4 y = −3(x − 4) y =

Brilliant_brown [7]

Equation in point slope form is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1); where m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).

y - 0 = (6 - 0)/(2 - 4) (x - 4)
y = 6/-2 (x - 4)
y = -3(x - 4)

Nicholas wrote the steps below to simplify the fraction 20/30 find his error and correct it

Dmitrij [34]

Unfortunately, Nicholas' steps in simplifying the fraction is not reflected in the question. However, the general idea of the simplifying fraction is to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of both the numerator and the denominator. In this case, the GCF is 10. Then, divide both numbers by the GCF. The answer for this item should be 2/3.

A sample was taken of the salaries of four employees from a large company. the following are their salaries, in thousands of dol

Free_Kalibri [48]

For given sample of salaries of four employees, the variance of their salaries is: 26 thousands of dollars

The formula for the variance is,

$S^2=\frac{\sum (x_i - \bar{x})^2}{n-1}$

where,

$S^2$ = sample variance

$x_i$ = the value of the one observation

$\bar{x}$ = the mean value of all observations

n = the number of observations

For given question,

n = 4

First we find the mean of their salaries.

(33 + 31 + 24 + 36 ) / 4 = 31

So, $\bar{x}=31$

Using the formula for variance ,

$S^2=\frac{(33-31)^2}{4-1}+\frac{(31-31)^2}{4-1}+\frac{(24-31)^2}{4-1}+\frac{(36-31)^2}{4-1}\\\\ S^2=\frac{4}{3} + \frac{0}{3} + \frac{49}{3} + \frac{25}{3} \\\\S^2= \frac{4+49+25}{3}\\\\S^2=\frac{78}{3} \\\\S^2=26$

Therefore, for given sample of salaries of four employees, the variance of their salaries is: 26 thousands of dollars
