Step-by-step explanation:
there is something wrong with your question.
there is no parallelogram with 8 and 6 ft side lengths that has an area of 54 ft².
the maximum area of a parallelogram with 8 and 6 ft side lengths is 48 ft². and that is a rectangle 8×6 as a special form of a parallelogram.
the area of any parallelogram is calculated
Ap = base length × height
and height is the length of the line perpendicular to the base line to one of the corners on the opposite side (as long as the base line).
if Ap = 54, and the base length is 8, this means
54 = 8 × height
height = 54/8 = 6.75 ft
but the height can only be the length of a side connected to the base line or less. not longer.
and in our example here, this connected side is 6. so, the height can only be 6 or less. not 6.75.
so, there must be something wrong with your numbers.
once you get the actual numbers, use my approach above with them (replace whatever number is wrong here by the true value).
Answer:
(2n -3) + n = 102
2n - 3 + n = 102
3n - 3 = 102
3n = 105
n = 35 (the first number)
SO...
The other number is (2 x 35) - 3 =
70 - 3 = 67 (the second number)
The numbers are 35 and 67.
35 + 67 = 102 CHECK!
In normal distributions, the 95th percentile means that a value exists within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
The mean is 175 Lbs and SD is 15 Lbs. This means that Harvey's weight will be within 2 standard deviations (each way) of the mean. I.e. his weight will be in the range 145 - 205 Lbs.
Answer:
x < 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first expand the parentheses on both sides. Remember that when expanding parentheses, the result will be the sum of the products of the "outside number" with each of the "inside number".
On the left, the parenthetical expression is: -6(x + 4). Here, the outside term is -6 and the inside terms are x and 4. So:
-6(x + 4) = -6 * x + (-6) * 4 = -6x - 24
On the right, the parenthetical expression is: -5(x + 6). Here, the outside term is -5 and the inside terms are x and 6. So:
-5(x + 6) = -5 * x + (-5) * 6 = -5x - 30
Now put these back in:
-6(x + 4) + 9 > -5(x + 6)
-6x - 24 + 9 > -5x - 30
-6x - 15 > -5x - 30
x < 15
Thus the answer is x < 15.
Hope this helps!
