Answer:

x = -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to simplify it to where we can have x on only one side, an everything else on the other. Subtract 2x from the left side and right side to get 2=x+5. Next to get x alone, subtract 5 from both sides. ( 2-5=x+5-5) We now have X = -3.

Hope this is helpful.

Edit: Almost forgot the negative at the top, sorry.

The sum of the squares of two consecutive positive even integers is 52.Find the integers

ankoles [38]

Answer:

The two consecutive positive integers are $4$ and $6$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be an even integer, then the next even integer is $(x+2)$ .

The sum of the squares of these even integers is $52$ .

We can write the following equation and solve for $x$ .

$x^2+(x+2)^2=52$ .

We expand to get,

$x^2+x^2+4x+4=52$ .

We simplify to get,

$2x^2+4x+4-52=0$ .

This gives us,

$2x^2+4x-48=0$

We divide through by 2 to get,

$x^2+2x-24=0$ .

This is now a quadratic trinomial

We split the middle term to get,

$x^2+6x-4x-24=0$ .

We factor to obtain,

$x(x+6)-4(x+6)=0$

$\Rightarrow (x+6)(x-4)=0$

$\Rightarrow (x+6)=0 or (x-4)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=-6 or x=4$

We discard $x=-6$ since it is not a positive integer.

$\therefore x=4$

Hence the two consecutive positive even integers are,

$4$

and

$4+2=6$

You would have to subtract 13 from 36 to find the amount of females.

36-13 = 23

there must be 23 females

23:13 is the ratio

For an analysis of variance, if the between-group estimate of the population variance is 30, and the within-group estimate is 25

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given the variance between - group estimate is = 30

And the variance within - group estimate is =25

Now we have to calculate the F ratio

F ratio is defined as the ratio of variance between the group and variance within the group

So F ratio $=\frac{30}{25}=1.2$

So for the given variance F ratio will be 1.2
