Given the equation 7(x + 2) = 2x − 1, solve for the variable. Explain each step and justify your process. Jeff solved a similar

equation below. Is Jeff's solution correct? Explain why or why not. 3x − 2 = 5(x + 2) 3x − 2 = 5x + 10 8x = 8 x = 1

You have to distribute the 7 to x and 2 so :
7x+14=2x-1
Add one to both sides (inverse operations)
7x+14=2x-1
+1 +1
7x+15=2x
Cross Cancel by subtracting 7x from both sides
7x+15=2x
-7x -7x
15=-5x
Divide by -5
15/-5= -5/-5
X= -3

A negative value of r means that:
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

(d.) Those who score high on one variable tend to score low on the other.

Step-by-step explanation:

A negative value of correlation coefficient (r) shows a relationship between two variables such that as one variable increases, the other decreases. It shows the inverse relationship between two variables with the dependence determined by the value of the correlation coefficient (r).

It can be observed that for graphs with negative slope, the correlation coefficient (r) is similarly negative. This speaks about its relationship too.

The correlation coefficient being negative doesn't mean the relationship between the two variables in question is bad, it just means that the correlation relationship is inverse (still dependent). A perfectly negative correlation is -1.

How to determine the maximum and minimum lengths of a missing side on a triangle?
VashaNatasha [74]
Well to find the missing side you're going to need the other two. Take the one side and multiply by itself. Take the other one and multiply by itself. Add those two products. Then root it. Basically find something that multiplys by itself to get that product

For most fractions, the beginning is indicated with "start fraction", the horizontal line is indicated with "over", and the end of the fraction is indicated by "end fraction". For the semantic interpretation, most numeric fractions are spoken as they are in natural speech. Also if a number is followed by a numeric fraction, the word "and" is spoken in between.
