Which is a correct first step for solving this equation? 2x−1(5−3x)=4x+2

I would start by distributing the (-1) through the (5-3x)

2x-5+3x=4x+2
(combine like terms)
5x-5=4x+2
(move the x to the left side of the equation by subtraction)
x-5=2
(then of course we isolate the x by adding the 5 to the right side)
x=7

then you can check your work by replacing all of the x's with 7
2(7)-1(5-3(7))=4(7)+2
14-1(-16)=28+2
14+16=30
30=30

hope this helps!

Answer:

M

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given side AB and BC

AB must be 6 as it is between 4 and -2 and that distance is 6 (we have been given no units).

BC must be also 6 as it starts at -4 and ends at 2.

Pythagoras Theorem = a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (^2 means squared)

C is the hypotenuse (longest side) and this is what we are trying to find...

6^2 + 6^2 = 36+36=72

So AC is 72, however we need to square root this to get our final answer.

72 doesn't square easily, so we will use surds. 72 is 36*2 and 36 is a square number hence why...

AC is 6 root 2

Hope this helps!

1) A light bulb producing company states that its lights will last an average of 1200 hours with a standard deviation of 200 hou
Ronch [10]

The mean ( average ) is given as 1200 hours.

The standard deviation is 200, sample size is 100.

Find the standard error:

√(200^2 / 100) = 20

Now calculate the confidence interval. For 95% the Z number is 1.96

Multiply Z by the standard error:

1.96 x 20 =39.2

Now find the range that the mean should be within:

1200 - 39.2 = 1160.8

1200 + 39.2 = 1239.2

The samples should be between 1160.8 and 1239.2 for a 95% confidence interval.

Since the average was 1050, which is below 1160.8 the bulbs are not in compliance.
