Answer:

A. No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is 4(2 x + 9) = 4(2 x +6)

We divide through by 4 to get:

2 x + 9 = 2 x +6

We now group similar terms to obtain:

$2x - 2x = 6 - 9$

$0 = - 3$

This final statement is false.

Therefore the given equation has no solution.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: a) Required minimum sample size= 219

b) Required minimum sample size= 271

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have

Margin of error : E= 5% =0.05

Critical z-value for 90% confidence interval : $z_{\alpha/2}=1.645$

a) Prior estimate of true proportion: p=28%=0.28

Formula to find the sample size :-

$n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2\\\\=0.28(1-0.28)(\dfrac{1.645}{0.05})^2\\\\=218.213856\approx219$

Required minimum sample size= 219

b) If no estimate of true proportion is given , then we assume p= 0.5

Formula to find the sample size :-

$n=0.5(1-0.5)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2\\\\=0.25(\dfrac{1.645}{0.05})^2\\\\=270.6025\approx271$

Required minimum sample size= 271

If an equation, Y varies directly as X varies. If Y equals 208 when X equals 13, what is the value of X when Y equals -144?

arlik [135]

Answer: X = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set up a ratio to solve this.

208/13 = -144/x

208x=-1872

x = -9

Solving Quadratic Equations using the Square Root Property

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

$x = -2$ or $x = -5$

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to complete the square before you can take the square root of both sides.

$x^2 + 7x + 10 = 0$

Subtract 10 from both sides.

$x^2 + 7x = -10$

To complete the square, you need to add the square of half of the x-term coefficient to both sides.

The x-term coefficient is 7. Half of that is 7/2. Square it to get 49/4. Now we add 49/4 to both sides of the equation.

$x^2 + 7x + \dfrac{49}{4} = -10 + \dfrac{49}{4}$

$(x + \dfrac{7}{2})^2 = -\dfrac{40}{4} + \dfrac{49}{4}$

$(x + \dfrac{7}{2})^2 = \dfrac{9}{4}$

Now we use the square root property, if

$x^2 = k$ , then

$x = \pm \sqrt{k}$

$x + \dfrac{7}{2} = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{9}{4}}$

$x + \dfrac{7}{2} = \pm \dfrac{3}{2}$

$x + \dfrac{7}{2} = \dfrac{3}{2}$ or $x + \dfrac{7}{2} = -\dfrac{3}{2}$

$x = -\dfrac{4}{2}$ or $x = -\dfrac{10}{2}$

$x = -2$ or $x = -5$

Elise has to use the information given below to find the original number. Write an equation to represent the situation. What is

lilavasa [31]

Let x= original number
equation: 2x+24=2/7 x
move 2x over to the other side of the equation to get 24=-12/7 x. Then, multiply both sides of the equation by -7/12 to isolate the variable.
The final answer should be x=-14
