demiology , 2006:1233–1241) states that the probability is 0.24 that a man who is a heavy smoker will contract lung cancer. True or false:
a. In a sample of 100 men who are heavy smokers, exactly 24 of them will contract lung cancer.
b. In a sample of 100 men who are heavy smokers, the number who will contract lung cancer is likely to be close to 24, but not exactly equal to 24.
c. As more and more heavy-smoking men are sampled, the proportion who contract lung cancer will approach 0.24.

f(-5)= -30 + 7
f(-5) = -23

What is the value of x?
Olegator [25]

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

On either side of a line, there is an angle of 180.  This means that when two lines intersect, the angles on either side will equal 180.

To solve this problem, add the two angles and set it equal to zero.

(x + 34) + (2x + 2) = 180

x + 34 + 2x + 2 = 180

3x + 36 = 180

3x = 144

x = 48

The value of x is 48.
