1. Expand2x−14=10x+18
2. Subtract 2x from both sides−14=10x+18−2x
3 Simplify 10x+18−2x to 8x+18−14=8x+18
4. Subtract 18 from both sides−14−18=8x
5. Simplify −14−18 to −32−32=8x
6. Divide both sides by 8−328 = x
7. Simplify 328 to 4−4 = x−4 = x
8. Switch sidesx = −4

Mama L [17]

Answer:

The approximate 90% confidence interval is;

70,244 to 70,732

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the approximate 90% C.I for the situation

Mathematically;

CI = mean ± (z * SD)/√n

From the question;

mean = 70,438

SD = 645.3

n = 30

we can get z from the CI table

90% CI is same as; 1.645 z-score

So , substituting these values;

CI = 70,438 ± ( 1.645 * 645.3)/√30

CI = 70,438 ± 194

So the CI = 70,438 -194 to 70,438 + 194

= 70,244 to 70,732

Jada surveyed some students to see which tool they most favored for communicating with grit. The results of her survey are shown
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

120 students did Jada survey

Step-by-step explanation:

*<em> Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- The results of Jada survey are shown in this circle graph

# Communication tools Text messages 5/12

# Phone 1/5

# Emails 1/20

# Other messaging apps 1/3

- A total of 50 students said they favored text messages to

 communicate with friends

- We need to find the total number of the students in Jada survey

- <em>Assume that the total number of the students in the survey is </em><em>x</em>

∵ The Communication tools Text messages expressed by a

  fraction 5/12 of the circle graph

∵ The total of 50 students said they favored text messages to

   communicate with friends

- That means The fraction \frac{5}{12} of x equivalent to 50

∴ \frac{5}{12}*x=50

- Multiply both sides by 12

∴ 5x = 600

- Divide both sides by 5

∴ x = 120

∵ x represents the number of the students in Jada survey

∴ 120 students did Jada survey

Can someone help me with number 4,5 and 6?
True [87]
4) You know slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. So using these two given points, you can find the slope! 

(-8,5)  (-3,10) [Use the y1-y2 over x1-x2 formula to solve for slope]

10 - 5         5
---------   = ----- = 1 
-3-(-8)         5

Hurray! You got a slope of one. Now substitute this back into your original equation:
y=mx+b --> y=1x+b 

Next, we find what our "b" is, or what our y-intercept is:
Using one of the previous points given, substitute them into the new equation:
[I used the point (-3, 10) ]

y=1x+b
10=1(-3)+b  SUBSTITUTE 
10=-3+b     MULTIPLY
10=-3+b
+3   +3    ADD
----------
13=b     SIMPLIFY 

So, now we have our y-intercept. Use this and plug it into the equation:
y=1x+b --> y=1x+13 

y=1x+13 is our final answer.



5) So for perpendicular lines, your slope will be the opposite reciprocal of the original slope. (Ex: Slope is 2, but perpendicular slope is -1/2) 

We have the equation y= 3x-1, so find the reciprocal slope! 
--> y=-1/3x-1 

Good! Now we take our given point, (9, -4) and plug it into the new equation:

y=-1/3x-1
-4=-1/3(9)+b   SUBSTITUTE and revert "-1" to "b", for we are trying to find the y-     -4=-3+b          intercept of our perpendicular equation. 
+3   +3            ADD
--------
-1=b    SIMPLIFY 

So, our final answer is y=-1/3x+(-1)

6) I don't know, sorry! :(
