I am hoping this was explained well enough:

Step  1  :

Isolate the square root on the left hand side :

    Radical already isolated  

    √2x-7 = 5-x

Step  2  :

Eliminate the radical on the left hand side :

    Raise both sides to the second power

    (√2x-7)2 = (5-x)2

    After squaring  

    2x-7 = x2-10x+25

Step  3  :

Solve the quadratic equation :

    Rearranged equation

    x2  - 12x  + 32 = 0

    This equation has two rational roots:

      {x1, x2}={8, 4}

 

Step  4  :

Check that the first solution is correct :

    Original equation

    √2x-7 = 5-x

    Plug in 8 for  x  

     √2•(8)-7 = 5-(8)

     Simplify

     √9 = -3

     Solution does not check  

     3 ≠ -3  

Step  5  :

Check that the second solution is correct :

    Original equation

    √2x-7 = 5-x

    Plug in 4 for  x  

     √2•(4)-7 = 5-(4)

     Simplify

     √1 = 1

     Solution checks !!

    Solution is:  

     x = 4

One solution was found :

                       x = 4

According to the Centers for Disease Control, about 18% of adolescents age 12-19 are obese. Suppose we take a random sample of 3
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

the sampling distribution of proportions

Step-by-step explanation:

A sample is a small group of observations which is a subset of a larger population containing the entire set of observations. The proportion of success or measure of a certain statistic from the sample, (in the scenario above, the proportion of obese observations on our sample) gives us the sample proportion. Repeated measurement of the sample proportion of this sample whose size is large enough (usually greater Than 30) in other to obtain a range of different proportions for the sample is called the sampling distribution of proportion. Hence, creating a visual plot such as a dot plot of these repeated measurement of the proportion of obese observations gives the sampling distribution of proportions

Enter the values for the highlighted variables that show how to subtract the rational expressions correctly:
LenKa [72]

Answer:

a = 6

x^2 + 6x is equal to x(x+6)

b=2

Denominator and numerator of the first term are multiplied by x. 

c=6

Second term is multiplied by (x-6)/(x-6)

d=2

Now that they have the same denominator, the two terms are combined. 2 is the coefficient of the first term

e=6

In the same way as d is carried over from b, e is carried over from c. 

f = 6

2x - x + 6 = x + 6

g = 1 

We factor out the (x+6) from the numerator and denominator
