Answer:

The answer to your question is x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Use proportions to solve this problem

$\frac{x}{20} = \frac{12}{16}$

Solve for "x"

x = $\frac{12(20)}{16}$

Simplification

x = $\frac{240}{16}$

Result

x = 15

Step 1 it says Additive inverse, that is not additive inverse. Additive inverse is the opposite of a number. There is no opposite number in the problem. And step 5 is the answer, it shouldn't be simplify. Hope that helps! <span />

Use the conditional statement to answer the question. If an angle is a right angle, then the angle measures 90°. Are the stateme

To answer this question, we need a strong understanding of what "contrapositive" means:
The contrapositive of a conditional statement flips the hypothesis and conclusion, and makes both negative.
Here is an example:
Conditional Statement: If I am sick, then I stay home from school.
Hypothesis: I am sick, Conclusion: I stay home from school
Contrapositive: If I do not stay home from school, I am not sick.

What would be the contrapositive in our conditional statement?
Conditional Statement: <span>If an angle is a right angle, then the angle measures 90°
Contrapositive: If the angle does not measure 90</span>°, then the angle is not a right angle.
In this case, both the conditional statement and the contrapositive are true. We know this because a 90° angle and a right angle are the same thing.

The table below gives the completion percentage and interception percentage for five randomly selected NFL quarterbacks. Based o

Lina20 [59]

The regression equation is y = -0.42647x + 29.11471 and the correlation coefficient is -0.9607

<h3>How to determine the regression equation?</h3>

The table of values is given as:

Completion Percentage 57 59 62 63 64

Interception Percentage 5 3.5 3 2.5 1.5

Next, we enter the above values in a graphing calculator.

From the graphing calculator, we have the following summary:

Sum of X = 305
Sum of Y = 15.5
Mean X = 61
Mean Y = 3.1
Sum of squares (SSX) = 34
Sum of products (SP) = -14.5
r = -0.9607

Regression Equation = ŷ = bX + a

b = SP/SSX = -14.5/34 = -0.42647

a = MY - bMX = 3.1 - (-0.43*61) = 29.11471

So, the regression equation is

y = -0.42647x + 29.11471

And the correlation coefficient is -0.9607
