Yes you have a good example.
x = number of cookies
2*x = total amount spent on cookies at $2 each
2x-3 = amount you pay after the $3 discount is applied one time for the entire order
-------------
a more numeric example may be this
Lets say you bought 12 cookies, so x = 12
This means it costs 2*x = 2*12 = 24 dollars total if the discount doesnt apply
However, the 3 dollar discount is there, so the grand total is 24-3 = 21 dollars.
Answer:
a. False
b. True
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
The sample size of the college student n = 100
The population of student that participated p = 38
We are to identify from the following statement if it is true or false.
From part a;
It is false since the random samples not indicate the population perfectly. As such we can't conclude that the proportion of students at this college who participate in intramural sports is 0.38.
The statement in part b is true because the sampling variation, random samples also do not indicate the population perfectly but it is close to be 0.38. Thus, it is suitable to conclude that the proportion of students at this college who participate in intramural sports is likely to be close to 0.38, but not equal to 0.38.

Answer: True</h3>
Explanation:
Technically you could isolate any variable you wanted, from either equation. However, convention is to pick the variable in which isolating it is easiest, and most efficient.
The key thing to look for is if there's a coefficient of 1. This is found in the second equation for the y term. Think of -4x+y = -13 as -4x+1y = -13. Due to the coefficient of 1, when solving for y we won't involve messy fractions.
If you were to solve for y, then you'd get y = 4x-13, which is then plugged in (aka substituted) into the first equation. That allows you to solve for x. Once you know x, you can determine y.
Answer:
x = 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
I am assuming that you want to find the values of x and that WXYZ is a parallelogram.
In a parallelogram opposite sides are equal, therefore:
11x + 1 = 19x - 31
1 + 31 = 19x - 11x
32 = 8x
x = 32/8 = 4.
Answer:
+4
Step-by-step explanation:
any opposite of a natural number is created with a "minus"
- (-4) = +4
