Answer:

y = -1, y = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

3|y+6|-1=14

Add 1 to each side

3|y+6|-1+1=14+1

3|y+6|=15

Divide by 3

3|y+6| /3=15/3

|y+6|=5

There are two solutions to an absolute value equation one positive and one negative

y+6 = 5 y+6 = -5

Subtract 6 from each side

y+6-6 = 5-6 y+6-6 = -5-6

y = -1 y = -11

A data set consists of the values 2, 6, 3, and 1. If we consider this a population (all the values available), the variance isA.

Hoochie [10]

Answer: E. none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data values that represents the population:

2, 6, 3, and 1.

Number of values : n=4

Mean of the data values = $\dfrac{\text{Sum of values}}{\text{No. of values}}$

$\dfrac{2+6+3+1}{4}=\dfrac{12}{4}=3$

Sum of the squares of the difference between each values and the mean =

$(2-3)^2+(6-3)^2+(3-3)^2+(1-3)^2$

$=-1^2+3^2+0^2+(-2)^2$

$=1+9+0+4=14$

Now , Variance = (Sum of the squares of the difference between each values and the mean ) ÷ (n)

= (14) ÷ (4)= 3.5

Hence, the variance is 3.5.

Therefore , the correct answer is "E. none of the above".

At the beginning of the fall, the water level of a lake is 12

spayn [35]

x = normal water level

x - 12 - 13 = x - 25

so it is 25 feet below the normal water level

Solve w=x/y-x for x.

lesya [120]

Answer:

Rewrite the equation as x+xyz=wx+xyz=w.

x+xyz=wx+xyz=w

Subtract xx from both sides of the equation.

xyz=w−xxyz=w-x

Divide each term by xzxz and simplif
