X = 3
2(4x - 3) - 8 = 4 + 2x
1. Distribute
8x - 6 - 8 = 4 + 2x
2. Collect like terms
8x - 14 = 4 + 2x
3. Collect like terms again (add 14 and subtract 2x)
6x = 18
4. Divide by 6
x = 3
In 2005, 23 is in the second deviation
19 22 25 28 31 33 35
In 1965, 23 is in the third deviation.
12 14 16 18 20 22 24
<span>By the way, 13.5% range from 22 to 25 in 2005, while 2.1% range from 22 to 24 in 1965</span>
Regroup terms
2(x + 2) = 1
Divided both sides by 2
x + 2 = 1/2
Subtract 2 from both sides
x = 1/2 - 2
Simplify 1/2 - 2 to -3/2
<u>x = -3/2</u>
Answer:
- 4/15
Step-by-step explanation:
Just take 4 and 15 make that a fraction make the fraction a negative not the 15 because they will be the same thing no matter where you place it
