We need to compute for the length of each trophy given that one trophy is 5 inches wider than the other.
Let x be the length of the first trophy.
Let x+5 be the length of the second trophy
The solution is shown below:
x + (x + 5) = 17
x + x + 5 =17
2x =17 -5
2x = 12
x = 12/2
x=6 (for the first trophy)
x + 5 = 6+5 = 11 (for the second trophy)

The first trophy is 6 inches wide while the second trophy is 11 inches wide.

melomori [17]

Answer:

26.5265

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Confidence Interval</u>

When the population standard deviation \sigma is known, the formula for a confidence interval for a population mean \bar x is:

\displaystyle \bar x \pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Where n is the sample size and z is the corresponding z-value from the standard normal distribution for the selected confidence level. The value of z for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96. The rest of the values are

\bar x=28.2,\ \sigma=2.7, \ n=10

Calculating the confidence interval

\displaystyle 28.2 \pm 1.96\frac{2.7}{\sqrt{10}}

\displaystyle 28.2 \pm 1.6735

Or, equivalently

Find the slope of a line perpendicular to 3x + 5y = 15.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

B)5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

"3x + 5y = 15."

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is  

y=mx+b

where  m is the slope and  b  is the y-intercept.

y=mx+b

Subtract  3x  from both sides of the equation.

5y=15−3x

Divide each term by  "5"  and simplify.

5y/5=15/5−3x/5

"5" and "5" cancel each other out

Divide  15  by  5

y=3-3x/5

Reorder  3  and  −3x/5

y=-3x/5+3

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

y=−3/5x+3

Slope:-3/5

The equation of a perpendicular line to  y=−3x/5+3  must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.

<em>m</em>perpendicular=−1/(−3/5)

Simplify the result.

mperpendicular=5/3

hope this helps!
