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.

Which quadratic has a graph with x-intercepts of 6 and -6?
REY [17]
If x' & x" are the roots (or x intercepts) of a quadratic equation, then it could be written:
y= (x-x')(x-x")

Since -6 & +6 are the roots of the quadratic function, then it could be written

as follows y= (x+6)(x+6) ===> y= x²-36. So the answer is B

Sarah is doing research on the average age of first-year resident physicians. She wants her estimate to be accurate to within 1
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: The number of first-year residents she must survey to be 95% confident= 263

Step-by-step explanation:

When population standard deviation (\sigma)  is known and margin of error(E) is given, then the minimum sample size (n) is given by :-

n=(\dfrac{z^*\sigma}{E})^2, z* = Two-tailed critical value for the given confidence interval.

For 95% confidence level , z* = 1.96

As, \sigma = 8.265, E = 1

So, n= (\dfrac{1.96\times8.265}{1})^2 =(16.1994)^2\\\\= 262.42056036\approx263\ \ \ [\text{Rounded to the next integer}]

Hence, the number of first-year residents she must survey to be 95% confident= 263

2(x -5) - 5x = -4 i need help
inysia [295]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x - 5) - 5x = -4

Distrubute the 2 into the parentheses

2x - 10 - 5x = -4

Add 10

    +10           +10

2x - 5x = 6

Simplify

-3x = 6

Divide

÷ -3   ÷ -3

x = -2

Select the two binomials that are factors of this trinomial.<br> x2 - x - 12
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

x² - x - 12 = (x - 4)(x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the trinomial x² - x - 12.

We have to show two binomials to be factors of this above trinomial.

For this first we have to factorize the trinomial.

Now, x² - x - 12

= x² - 4x + 3x - 12

= x(x - 4) + 3(x - 4)

= (x - 4)(x - 3)

So the binomials are (x - 4) and (x - 3) that are factors of the trinomial x² - x - 12. (Answer)

Lines m and n are parallel. Which of the other 5 named angles have a measure of 110°?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

2 and angle that is left of 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 2 is vertical from 110, and vertical angles are congruent. From this, we can figure out that 2 and 3 (they're supplementary) are 70. Angles 5 and 3 are Alternate Interior Angles, and therefore must be congruent. The one to the left of 5 is supplementary to it, and therefore must be 110. Your answers are angle 2 and the angle that is left of 5.
