Equation: 4x + 7 = 3(2x - 5)

Step-by-step solution:

• Expand brackets

-> 4x + 7 = 6x - 15

• Move x variable to a side and the numbers to another

-> 4x - 6x = -15 - 7

• Solve

-> -2x = -22

• Multiply both sides by (-1)

-> -(-2x) = -(-22)
-> 2x = 22

• Divide both sides by 2

-> x = 22/2

-> x = 11

• Justification
-> Put x = 11 in original equation
-> 4(11) + 7 = 3( 2(11) - 5)
-> 44 + 7 = 3(22 - 5)
-> 51 = 3(17)
-> 51 = 51
-> 51 - 51 = 0
-> 0 = 0
Since both sides are equal to each other, the answer to the equation is correct.

I don't know Sam's equation so I'm not gonna answer that.

Suppose that the regression for predicting weight (in pounds) from Height (in Select one answer inches) is given by Weight =-115
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Option D)  I and II only                                    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Regression equation:

w = -115 + 3.6h

where w is the weight in pounds and h is the height in inches.

Since the weight depends on height, height becomes the independent variable and weight becomes the dependent variable.

I. A person who is 61 inches tall will weigh 104.6 pounds

When h = 61,

w = -115 + 3.6(61) = 104.6

Thus, the given statement is true.

II. For every additional inch of height, the predicted weight will increase, on average, by 3.6 pounds.

If the height increases by 1 unit, then,

w(h+1) - w(h) = -115 + 3.6(h+1) - (-115 + 3.6(h))\\w(h+1) - w(h)  = 3.6(h+1-h)\\w(h+1) - w(h)  = 3.6

Thus, the given statement is correct.

III. The correlation between weight and height is negative.

No, the given statement is not correct as with increase in height the weight increases and with decrease in height the weight decreases.

Thus, the correct answer is

Option D)  I and II only

Omg, I need help! A builder is buying property where she can build new houses. The line plot shows the sizes for each house. 1/6
klemol [59]

Answer:

Average size of the lots = ⅓ acre

Step-by-step explanation:

The question incomplete without specifying what we are to determine.

Question:A builder is buying property where she can build new houses. The line plot shows the sizes for each house. 1/6 has 6 X's 1/3 has 3 X's and 1/2 has 6 X's. Organize the information in a line plot. What is the average size of the lots? _________ acre

Help anyone?

Solution:

We are asked to organize the information in a line plot. See attachment for the line plot.

Given: 1/6 has 6 X's 1/3 has 3 X's and 1/2 has 6 X'sIn no particular order, the sizes of the lots are:1/6, 1/6, 1/6, 1/6, 1/6, 1/6, 1/3, 1/3, 1/3, 1/2, 1/2, 1/2, 1/2, 1/2 and 1/2 acre.

Let's count the number of lot for each size given.

For 1/6: there are 6 X's on the line plot of 1/6 number of lot for 1/6

= the lot × number of times it occurs

= (1/6) × 6 = 6/6 = 1 acre

For 1/3: there are 3 X's on the line plot of 1/3 number of lot for 1/3 = the lot × number of times it occurs

= (1/3) × 3 = 3/3 = 1 acre

For 1/2: there are 6 X's on the line plot of 1/2 number of lot for 1/2

= the lot × number of times it occurs

= (1/2) × 6 = 6/2= 3 acres

To find average size of the lots, we would sum all lot for each given size then divide by the total number of lots given.Sum of all lot for each given size = 1+1+3

Sum of all lot for each given size = 5

The total number of lots given = 15

Average size of the lots = 5/15 = 1/3

Average size of the lots = ⅓ acre
