Answer:x=-9

Step-by-step explanation:First distributive property making 2x and -10 then move the -10 to the other side and do the same with the -7 then move the x to the 2x making x=-9

Use a number line to show the sum of 6 + (–7).

So there is a rule
(+)(+)=+
(-)(+)= -
(+)(-)= -
So now if you subtract 6 with 7 you will end up having -1 as you’re answer. Hope this helps

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

-9 sqrt(5)

Discussion:

-2 sqrt(20) - sqrt(125) =

-2 *2 sqrt(5) - sqrt(125)= as 20 = 4* 5

-4sqrt(5)- 5 sqrt(5) = as 125 = 25 *5

(-4 -5) sqrt(5) =

-9 sqrt(5)

Thank you,

Let x be the average number of employees in a group health insurance plan, and let y be the average administrative cost as a per

Step2247 [10]

A scatter diagram has points that show the relationship between two sets of data.

We have the following data,

$\left\begin{array}{ccccccc}\mathrm{x}&3&7&15&32&74\\\mathrm{y}&40&35&30&25&17\end{array}\right$

where x is the average number of employees in a group health insurance plan and y is the average administrative cost as a percentage of claims.

To make a scatter diagram you must, draw a graph with the independent variable on the horizontal axis (in this case x) and the dependent variable on the vertical axis (in this case y). For each pair of data, put a dot or a symbol where the x-axis value intersects the y-axis value.

Linear regression is a way to describe a relationship between two variables through an equation of a straight line, called line of best fit, that most closely models this relationship.

To find the line of best fit for the points, follow these steps:

Step 1: Find $X\cdot Y$ and $X\cdot X$ as it was done in the below table.

Step 2: Find the sum of every column:

$\sum{X} = 131 ~,~ \sum{Y} = 147 ~,~ \sum{X \cdot Y} = 2873 ~,~ \sum{X^2} = 6783$

Step 3: Use the following equations to find intercept a and slope b:

$\begin{aligned} a &= \frac{\sum{Y} \cdot \sum{X^2} - \sum{X} \cdot \sum{XY} }{n \cdot \sum{X^2} - \left(\sum{X}\right)^2} = \frac{ 147 \cdot 6783 - 131 \cdot 2873}{ 5 \cdot 6783 - 131^2} \approx 37.05 \\ \\b &= \frac{ n \cdot \sum{XY} - \sum{X} \cdot \sum{Y}}{n \cdot \sum{X^2} - \left(\sum{X}\right)^2} = \frac{ 5 \cdot 2873 - 131 \cdot 147 }{ 5 \cdot 6783 - \left( 131 \right)^2} \approx -0.292\end{aligned}$
