What is the solution for x of ax-5=b?

Answer:

x = (b + 5/a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operation, and equals:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

First, add 5 to both sides of the equation:

ax - 5 (+5) = b (+5)

ax = b + 5

Next, divide a from both sides to isolate the variable, x:

(ax)/a = (b + 5)/a

x = (b + 5)/a

x = (b + 5/a) is your answer.

Dominic is signing up for a gym membership with a one-time fee to join and then a monthly fee to remain a member. The monthly fe

insens350 [35]

The equation for C in terms of t,t, representing the total cost of the gym membership over tt months is C = 150 + 50t

<h3>Equation</h3>

There are three basic types of equation in mathematics. Namely:

Linear equations
Quadratic equations
Simultaneous equations

Monthly fee = $50
One-time joining fee = $150
Total cost = C
Number of months = t

C = 150 + 50t

Therefore, the equation for C in terms of t,t, representing the total cost of the gym membership over tt months is C = 150 + 50t

Find the value of the expression 3m^2+2p^2-15 when m =3 and p = 10

mylen [45]

$3m {}^{2} + {2p}^{2} - 15$
m = 3
p = 10

$3 \times 3 {}^{2} + 2 \times {10}^{2} - 15 =$
$3 \times 9 + 2 \times 100 - 15 =$
$27 + 200 - 15 =$
$212$

Hence, the answer is 212.

Which is the best estimate of the correlation coefficient for the variables in the scatter plot?

V125BC [204]

By using a scatter plot we can get the relationship of two variables or correlation.

There will be two types of correlation.

If the data of the plot show a positive slope of the estimated line then it will be a positive correlation.

Now a correlation value lie between 0 to 1 if it is very close to 0 like 0.1 , 0.2 then we can say the correlation is weak psitively correlated. and if it will be close to 1 like 0.8 or 0.9 then the correlation will be strong.

Similarly if slope of the estimated line will be negative then it will be a negative correlation.

From the above scatter plot notice that it has a negative slope and we can draw a fair estimate line on this scatter plot. So, there is strong negative correlation.

Hence the correct choice is -0.8.
