Answer:

x = 7 and 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both sides by -4...

| x - 11 | = 4

because

| -4 | = 4 and

| 4 | = 4

x - 11 = -4 and x - 11 = 4

solve for x in both equations.

x = 7 and x = 15

In order to estimate the difference between the average hourly wages of employees of two branches of a department store, two ind

liberstina [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have two populations of interest and want to compare them. If you define the study variables as:

X₁: average hourly wages of an employee of the Downtown store.

n₁= 25

X[bar]₁= $9

S₁= $2

X₂: average hourly wages of an employee of the North Mall store.

n₂= 20

X[bar]₂= $8

S₂= $1

Both samples taken are independent, assuming that both populations are normal and that their population variances are equal I'll use the Student's-t statistic with a pooled sample variance to calculate the Confidence interval:

95% CI for μ₁ - μ₂

(X[bar]₁-X[bar]₂) ± $t_{n_1+n_2-2; 1-\alpha /2} * (Sa*\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} } )$

$Sa^2= \frac{(n_1-1)S_1^2+(n_2-1)S_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2}$

$Sa^2= \frac{24*4+19*1}{25+20-2}= 2.67$

Sa= 1.64

$t_{n_1-n_2-2;1-\alpha /2} = t_{43; 0.975} = 2.017$

(9-8)±2.017* $(1.64*\sqrt{\frac{1}{25} +\frac{1}{20} } )$

[0.007636;1.9923]

I hope it helps!

The measure of one angle is thirteen less than five times the measure of another angle. The sum of the measures of the two angle

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The two angles are 25.5 and 114.5

Step-by-step explanation:

x = measure of one angle

5x - 13 = measure of the other angle {one angle is 13 less than 5 times the other}

x + 5x - 13 = 140 {sum of the two angles is 140}

6x - 13 = 140 {combined like terms}

6x = 153 {added 13 to each side}

x = 25.5 {divided each side by 6}

5x - 13 = 114.5 {substituted 25.5, in for x, into 5x - 13}

Find the number that makes the ratio equivalent to 1:6. 9:__

Anarel [89]

Answer: 54

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

The first ratio is 1:6. The jump from 1 to 6 has us multiplying the 1 by 6 to get 6.
1*6 = 6
So we follow the same rule of "multiply by 6" to go from 9 to 54 (9*6 = 54)

Or you can use a proportion to get
1/6 = 9/x
1*x = 6*9 ... cross multiply
x = 54
and we get the same answer
