3x-y=18, substitute y=27 then you get 3x-27=18., add 27 to each side to get x by itself, 3x=45, then divide by 3 and you get x=15

3x – y = 18
3x – 27 = 18
3x= 45
x =15

Total amount of fencing needed as an algebraic expression in terms of x is: 10x + 3 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is given that each rectangle has the same dimensions, the dimensions of each rectangle must be: x units by 2x + 1 units.

Based on this, we can calculate the total amount of fencing needed.

Let width of each rectangle = x

Let length of each rectangle = 2x + 1

There are 4 widths and 3 lengths in total of fencing.

Therefore:

= 4 ( x ) + 3 ( 2x + 1 )

Expand:

= 4x + 6x + 3

Group like-terms:

= 10x + 3

Answer:

16 crates

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is a division problem.

-Let x be the number of crates that will fit in to the box car.

-To solve x, we divide the volume of the boxcar by the volume of one crate:

$V=lwh\\\\l=length\\w=width\\h=height\\\\V_{bc}=20m\times 3m\times 4m\\\\=240\ m^3\\\\V_c=lwh\\\\=5m\times1.5m\times 2m\\\\=15\ m^3\\\\\therefore x=\frac{V_{bc}}{V_c}\\\\=\frac{240}{15}\\\\=16\ crates$

Hence, 16 crates will fit in the boxcar.

Answer:

Test statistic z= 1.708

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a television network is deciding whether or not to give its newest television show a spot during prime viewing time at night. If this is to happen, it will have to move one of its most viewed shows to another slot.

Sample size n = 827

Sample proportion p = $\frac{438}{827} \\=0.5297$

$H_0: p =0.5\\H_a: p >0.5$

(right tailed test)

This is because they would be interested if more than half viewers are ready for the change

Test statistic = Z = p difference/std error

p difference = 0.0297

Std error = $\sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } \\=\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{827} } \\=0.0174$

Z =1.708

p valu e= 0.9562

Since p >0.05 we fail to reject H0

Test statistic z= 1.708
