A statistical question is a question that is based off of data. People commonly use numerical data as well. It’s common for a statistical question to have more than one answer. This is because all the data is recorded and used into central tendency data.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given equation, the "like terms" are the constants 5/8 and 44.
It simplifies the math if we eliminate the fractions first. Note that 0.75 = 6/8, so now we have:
8(6/8)s - 8(5/8) = 44).
Multiplying all three terms by 8 (above) yields
8(6s) - 8(5) = 8(44), or
48s = 8(44 + 5), or 48s = 8(49)
Dividing both sides by 48 yields s: s = 8(49/48)
Review "like terms:" These are terms that have at least one characteristic in common. 5/8 and 44 are like terms because they are only constants (no variables are present). We must add 5/8 and 44. 0.75s does not have a "like term" in the given equation.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: 1/12
Discussion:
We solve 5/12 + x = 1/2 for x. Begin by subtracting 5/12 from each side
5/12 - 5/12 + x = 1/2 - 5/12
0 +x = 6/12 - 5/12 (as 1/2 = 6/12)
So x = 1/12
