So 16=heads
18=tails
after you add some tails
18+x

ratio of heads to tails is 1:1.5
heads=16, didn't change
tails=18+x

so
1:1.5=16:18+x
fractionify
1/1.5=16/(18+x)
1/1.5=2/3
2/3=16/(18+x)
mutiply both sides by (3)(18+x)
2(18+x)=3(16)
36+2x=48
subtract 36 from both sides
2x=12
divide 2
x=6

6 tails added


total=heads+tails
heads=16
tails=18+6=24
total=16+24
total=40



6 tails added
40 total coins

What is another way of writing 34 x (65 + 27)?
Andru [333]
36 x (65+27) is the same as 36(65+27) .. you are able to distribute the 36 ( distributive property) onto the 65 and 27 and add them. Also, you can add the numbers in between the parenthesis and multipy them by 36. Nonetheless, you would arrive at the same answers.

Mila [183]

Step-by-step explanation:

After you set you equation up, you have to isolate the given variable. To do that you have to do the recipriocal (6k-multiplying) which would be division. You would divide k = 36 ÷ 6 . that isolates the variable ,which you would then solve. k = 6 .

m\angle AEB+4x=180^o\to m\angle AEB=180^o-4x\\\\\angle DEB=2x+\angle AEB\ \text{and}\ \angle EBC=6x\ \text{are Alternate Interior Angles}\\\\\text{Alternate Interior Angles are congruent (have the same measure)}\\\\\text{Therefore we have the equation:}\\\\m\angle DEB=m\angle EBC\\\\2x+(180^o-4x)=6x\\\\2x+180^o-4x=6x\\\\(2x-4x)+180^o=6x\\\\-2x+180^o=6x\qquad|\text{add 2x to both sides}\\\\180^o=8x\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 8}\\\\22.5^o=x\to x=22.5^o

The state of New Mexico is piloting a new program that the governor hopes will increase the proportion of people who regularly g
elena-s [515]

Answer:

H0: p1=p2    against the claim Ha: p1≠p2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the proportion of the people going for medical checkup before the program is p1= 0.76

The proportion of the people going for medical checkup after the program is p2= 686/880=0.78

Our null and alternate hypothesis will be

H0: proportion of the people going for medical checkup before the program <u>is equal </u>to the proportion of the people going for medical checkup after the program

against the claim

Ha:  proportion of the people going for medical checkup before the program <u>is not equal </u>to the proportion of the people going for medical checkup after the program

Mathematically this can be written as

H0: p1=p2    against the claim Ha: p1≠p2
