What is the value of w in the equation 3/4w+8=w-7

2 answers:

7 0

Step 1. Simplify $\frac{3}{4}w$ to $\frac{3w}{4}$

$\frac{3w}{4} +8=w-7$

Step 2. Multiply both sides by 4

$3w+32=4w-28$

Step 3. Subtract $3w$ from both sides

$32=4w-28-3w$

Step 4. Simplify $4w-28-3w$ to $w-28$

$32=w-28$

Step 5. Simplify 32 + 28 to 60

$60=w$

Step 6. Switch sides

$w=60

3/4w+8=w-7, add 7 to both sides 3/4w+15=w,subtract 3/4w from each side and you get 15=1/4w 3.75=w

Factor completely: 3x2 + 12x + 7

zepelin [54]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Eliminate answer 4 immediately, because (4)(3) is not 7.

Look at answer 2: 7x + 3x = 10x, which does not match the middle term 12x in the original polynomial. Eliminate answer 2.

Look at answer 1: 1x + 21x = 22x, which does not match the middle term of the original polynomial. Eliminate answer 1.

All quadratics have solutions. Let's apply the quadratic formula to 3x^2 + 12x + 7: Here a = 3, b = 12 and c = 7, so that the discriminant b²-4ac is

12²-4(3)(7), or 144 - 84, or 60. Being positive, this tells us that the given poly has two real, unequal roots:

-12 ± √60 -12 + 2√15 -12 - 2√15

x = ----------------- = ------------------- and x = --------------------

3 3 3

Normally, if c is a root, then x - c is a factor.

If we try this here, however, the resulting factors do not at all match any of your answer choices.

Don't be offended...but please ensure you have copied this problem down correctly.

A polling organization asked a nation-wide random sample of 1600 new brides (those who got married in the past 2 years) the foll

Answer:

It has millions of tickets. On each ticket is written a number a dollar amount. The exact average and SD are unknown but are estimated from the sample to be $20,000 and $5,000 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

sample size n = 1600

sample mean $\overline x$ = 20000

standard deviation = 5000

The objective is to choose from the given option about what most closely resembles the relevant box model.

The correct answer is:

It has millions of tickets. On each ticket is written a number a dollar amount. The exact average and SD are unknown but are estimated from the sample to be $20,000 and $5,000 respectively.

However, if draws are made without replacement, the best estimate of the average amount for the bride will be $20,000

Similarly, the standard error for the sample mean = $\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$
