Twelve pounds less than twice janes weight is 270 pounds. What is Janes weight?

1 answer:

7 0

Janes weight = x
Twelve pounds less than twice janes weight is 270 pounds
12 less than 2x is 270

2x -12 = 270 (add 12 to each side)
2x = 270 + 12
2x = 282 (divide 2 from each side)
x = 282/2
x = 141

The answer is 141 pounds

-8b-32 what is the answer with work?

Crank

Well the LCM (lowest common multiples) for 8 and 32 would be 4. So plug 4 into "b" -8×4-32. -8×4=32. -32-32. Since you can't subtract 32 and 32 you add! Which gives you -64.

Hope this helps (:

How do i find the slope

sveta [45]

Answer:

slope = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

y - 4 = - 7(x - 6) ← is in point- slope form

with slope m = - 7

Answer:

Confidence Interval: (21596,46428)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:

10520, 56910, 52454, 17902, 25914, 56607, 21861, 25039, 25983, 46929

Formula:

$\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}$

where $x_i$ are data points, $\bar{x}$ is the mean and n is the number of observations.

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{340119}{10} = 34011.9$

Sum of squares of differences = 551869365.6 + 524322983.6 + 340111052.4 + 259528878 + 65575984.41 + 510538544 + 147644370.8 + 80512934.41 + 64463235.21 + 166851472.4 = 2711418821

$S.D = \sqrt{\frac{2711418821}{9}} = 17357.09$

Confidence interval:

$\mu \pm t_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Putting the values, we get,

$t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 9 and}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 2.2621$

$34011.9 \pm 2.2621(\frac{17357.09}{\sqrt{10}} ) = 34011.9 \pm 12416.20 = (21595.7,46428.1) \approx (21596,46428)$

PLEASE ANSWER THIS ASAP, I WILL BE GIVING YOU A THANKS!

densk [106]

Answer:

I would say D. There is no logical explanation for the final answer but there is for everything else.

For A: Makes sense because 3x-2 are in parenthesis outside a number so you can multiply.

For B: Makes sense because you are allowed to add/subtract like terms but in this case only subtracting would make sense, (which is what they did) since you want to get all the like terms on one side.

For C: Makes sense because you are trying to simplify the equation, and they are both like terms (they are both numbers that have no letter attached to them) and they are on the opposite side making them able to be simplified.

For D: No idea what the point is.
