Answer:

x = 8 (read below for Andre's mistakes)

Step-by-step explanation:

How to actually solve:

1/4(x+12) = 2

1/4(-4+12)=2

1/4(8)=2

How he solves:

1/4(x+12)=2

1/4(x+12)-12=2-12

1/4x=-10

x=-40

So apparently Andre's first mistake is he didn't use PEMDAS. His second mistake was instead of dividing by 4, he multiplied by 4.

Find the slope and y intercept of the line 6x+ 2y=-88

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

6x + 2y = -88
2y = -88 -6x
y=-88/2 -6/2x
y= -44 - 3x
y = -3x - 44

Y intercept = -44
Slope/m = -3 (aka) -3/1

What of these types of income is taxed?

geniusboy [140]

In most cases, income tax brackets are progressive, meaning that the greater the income, the higher the rate of taxation. Federal rates for the 2013 tax year range from 10 to 39.6 percent. State and city rates are generally much lower.

Solve for x. -5x + 13 = -17

Lana71 [14]

Subtract 13 from both sides

-5x = -17 - 13

Simplify -17 - 13 to -30

-5x = -30

Divide both sides by -5

x = -30/-5

Two negatives make a positive

x = 30/5

Simplify 30/5 to 6

What is the period of the graph of y = 5cos(6x – 1) + 3?<br> O A.

evablogger [386]

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficent of the x variable is b.

The formula for the period is

$\frac{2\pi}{ |b| }$

Here, b is 6 so we have

$\frac{2\pi}{ |6| } = \frac{\pi}{3}$

So the period is pi/3, or 60 degrees

A pet store conducted a survey on the types of pets owned by the stores customers. construct a two-way table summarizing the dat

Inessa [10]

Answer:

$\begin{array}{cccc}&\text{Own cat}&\text{Do not own cat}&\text{Total}\\\text{Own dog}& 45 & 125 & 170\\\text{Do not own dog}& 78 & 52 & 130 \\\text{Total}& 123 & 177 &300\end{array}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table you can see that

45 customers own cat and dog;
78 own only cat, then 78+45=123 customers own cat;
125 own only dog, then 125+45=170 customers own dog;
52 own neither cat, nor dog;
78+45+125+52=300 customers in total;
300-123=177 customers do not own cat;
300-170=130 customers do not own dog.

Two-way table is

$\begin{array}{cccc}&\text{Own cat}&\text{Do not own cat}&\text{Total}\\\text{Own dog}& 45 & 125 & 170\\\text{Do not own dog}& 78 & 52 & 130 \\\text{Total}& 123 & 177 &300\end{array}$
