Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, we simply need to use the know values for the lengths, widths, and perimeter of the rectangle.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is as follows:

P = 2L + 2W

Where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is the width.

Let L = 7x + 5 and W = x - 3

Now, we will simply plug our values into the formula and solve for x.

P = 2L + 2W

36 = 2 ( 7x + 5 ) + 2 ( x - 3 )

36 = 14x + 10 + 2x + -6

36 = 16x + 4

32 = 16x

2 = x

Thus, we have found the value of x to be 2.

Cheers.

Kelly paid $45.36 for a sweater that was on sale for 25% off the original price. She paid 8% sales tax on the sale price.

Shalnov [3]

Take 45.36 *.08 to get the price of the sweater 45.36 *.08 =3.6288 so take 45.36-3.63= 41.73 and take 41.73 *.25 = 10.4325 take 41.73+10.43=52.16 is the original price of the sweater

Answer:

The bottom cutoff heights to be eligible for this experiment is 66.1 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 69.0 inches and a standard deviation of 2.8 inches.

This means that $\mu = 69, \sigma = 2.8$
