Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x-3(x+4)=-5\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\2x+(-3)(x)+(-3)(4)=-5\\\\2x-3x-12=-5\qquad\text{add 12 to both sides}\\\\-x=7\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\x=-7$

The answer is -7

2x-3(x+4)=-5

Multiply by -3

2x-3x-12=-5

Collect like terms

-x-12=-5

Move constant to the right to change its sign

-x=-5+12

Add

-x=7

Change the signs

x=-7

The area of the patio is 216 square feet. Write an equation that represents the area of the patio

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

$216=2w \times w$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the patio is a rectangle, we have

$A= l\times w$

Where $l$ is the length and $w$ is the width.

Now let's assume that the length of the patio is double than the width.

$l=2w$

So, the equation that represents this problem is

$216=2w \times w$

A national survey interviewed 3800 people ages 18 and older nationwide by telephone. One question asked was the amount of gasoli

NeTakaya

Answer:

For this case a parameter represent the population data and for this case the parameter would be the true mean $\mu$ who represent the amount of gasoline they used in the previous week

$\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{3800} =11.75$

And the sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the true mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case a parameter represent the population data and for this case the parameter would be the true mean $\mu$ who represent the amount of gasoline they used in the previous week

And in order to estimate the parameter of interest we use a survey of n =3800 and the sample mean who represent an statistic is given by:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

And we got:

$\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{3800} =11.75$

And the sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the true mean.

Solve for c in a+b+c=180

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

c = -a - b + 180

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the c. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract a and b from both sides

a (-a) + b (-b) + c = 180 (-a) (-b)

c = 180 - a - b

c = -a - b + 180 is your answer
