Can u solve this for me: 72 + 4x = 2x + 82 and please show work

The answer is X = 5 because first you have to take away 2x from that side so u minus 2x from 4x that gives u: 72 + 2x = 82 then you have to minus 72 from both sides and that gives you 2x = 10 once you have that you divide both sides by 2 because you want the X by itself and once you get that X = 5. Hope this helped!

To solve an algebraic equation, you have to get x by itself so that x = something. In order to get x by itself you have to manipulate the equation, making sure that whatever you do to one side, you also do to the other side to keep it true. Let's do yours...

72 + 4x = 2x + 82

Let's keep x on the left and move the other numbers over to the right side (you can do it either way though). Move 72 over to the right side by subtracting it from both sides (that cancels it on the left because 72 - 72 = 0). Then combine like terms.

72 + 4x - 72 = 2x + 82 - 72
4x = 2x + 10

Now move 2x to the left side by subtracting it from both sides then combine like terms.

4x - 2x = 10
2x = 10

Lastly... divide each side by 2 (2/2 = 1 so that cancels it on the left)

x = 10/2
x = 5

The resting heart rate for an adult horse should average about µ = 47 beats per minute with a (95% of data) range from 19 to 75

KatRina [158]

Answer:

a. 0.0582 = 5.82% probability that the heart rate is less than 25 beats per minute.

b. 0.1762 = 17.62% probability that the heart rate is greater than 60 beats per minute.

c. 0.7656 = 76.56% probability that the heart rate is between 25 and 60 beats per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Empirical Rule:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean:

$\mu = 47$

(95% of data) range from 19 to 75 beats per minute.

This means that between 19 and 75, by the Empirical Rule, there are 4 standard deviations. So

$4\sigma = 75 - 19$

$4\sigma = 56$

$\sigma = \frac{56}{4} = 14$

a. What is the probability that the heart rate is less than 25 beats per minute?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 25. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{25 - 47}{14}$

$Z = -1.57$

$Z = -1.57$ has a p-value of 0.0582.

0.0582 = 5.82% probability that the heart rate is less than 25 beats per minute.

b. What is the probability that the heart rate is greater than 60 beats per minute?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 60. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{60 - 47}{14}$

$Z = 0.93$

$Z = 0.93$ has a p-value of 0.8238.

1 - 0.8238 = 0.1762

0.1762 = 17.62% probability that the heart rate is greater than 60 beats per minute.

c. What is the probability that the heart rate is between 25 and 60 beats per minute?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 60 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 25. From the previous two items, we have these two p-values. So

0.8238 - 0.0582 = 0.7656

0.7656 = 76.56% probability that the heart rate is between 25 and 60 beats per minute

E Homework: 1-7 HW Simplify the expression. 8(5+t) - 2(t+1) 8(5 + t) - 2(t+1)=

lys-0071 [83]

Hi, I'm happy to help!

To simplify this expression, we need to first use the order of operations (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication or Division (Left to Right), and Addition or Subtraction (Left to Right)), then combine like terms. (80,40,57, or 6t, 8t, 98t, or 2t²,7t²,83t²)

When a number is next to parenthesis with no sign, it means we are using multiplication. We can change this expression to look like this, by changing all the numbers next to the parenthesis with no sign, to one with a multiplication sign.

8(5+t) - 2(t+1) 8(5 + t) - 2(t+1)=

8×(5+t) - 2×(t+1)× 8×(5 + t) - 2×(t+1)=

We start with parenthesis and solve everything inside of those, but, because everything inside the parenthesis are unlike terms, we cannot combine them.

Next, We look for any exponents (x²). There are none in this equation.

We then look for multiplication or division. There is a lot of multiplication, so we start solving that from left to right.

8×(5+t) - 2×(t+1)× 8×(5 + t) - 2×(t+1)=

40+8t - 2×(t+1)× 8×(5 + t) - 2×(t+1)=

40+8t - 2×(t+1)× 8×(5 + t) - 2×(t+1)=

(40+8t) - (2t+2)× 8×(5 + t) - 2×(t+1)=

(40+8t) - (2t+2)× 8×(5 + t) - 2×(t+1)=

(40+8t) - (16t+16)×(5 + t) - 2×(t+1)=

(40+8t) - (16t+16)×(5 + t) - 2×(t+1)=

(40+8t) - (80t+16t²+80+16t) - 2×(t+1)=

(40+8t) - (80t+16t²+80+16t) - 2×(t+1)=

(40+8t) - (80t+16t²+80+16t) - (2t+2)=

(40+8t) - (80t+16t²+80+16t) - (2t+2)=

Now, before we do anything else, we need to recheck the parenthesis, now that they have changed. We can further simplify the middle parenthesis by adding together like terms.

(40+8t) - (80t+16t²+80+16t) - (2t+2)=

(40+8t) - ((80t+16t)+16t²+80) - (2t+2)=

(40+8t) - (96t+16t²+80) - (2t+2)=

(40+8t) - (96t+16t²+80) - (2t+2)=

Now, we look for addition or subtraction of like terms. We can now remove the parenthesis, since everything inside of the last two parenthesis is negative, we turn it negative, as long as we only combine the like terms.

40+8t - 96t-16t²-80 - 2t-2=

Once we find like terms, we can rearrange the expression.

(40-80-2)+8t - 96t+16t² - 2t

(-42)+8t - 96t-16t² - 2t

(-42)+8t - 96t-16t² - 2t

(-42)+(8t-96t-2t)-16t²

(-42)+(-90t)-16t²

(-42)+(-90t)-16t²

This doesn't have any like terms, so we don't alter it.

(122)+(-90t)-16t²

We can now remove the parenthesis.

122-90t-16t²

Since there are no more like terms this is the furthest we can simplify. We can then rearrange the expression to be arranged completely correct.

-16t²-90t-42

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
