Answer:

The third side has a length of 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The two sides of equal length can be represented as x, and x

The thirds side is five less that twice the length of the other sides can be represented as  2x - 5.

The perimeter is 23, so the sum of all 3 sides is 23, now we have..

x + x + 2x - 5 = 23          solve for x...

4x = 28

x = 7,

so two sides are 7, and 7, and the third side is

2(7) - 5

  14 - 5

   9

You can factor this by taking out the GCF (greatest common factor).

In the expression, the greatest common factor between the two terms is 5.

Take out 5:

5(2b + 5)

Is it possible to factor 2b + 5 even more?

No. So, your answer is D. 5(2b + 5).

Brianna received an overall IQ score of 117 on the Wechsler Scale. This means that Brianna has scored approximately____________
Tresset [83]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that the correct option is:

  • D. 1; 100

In a <em>normal distribution</em> with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.

In this problem:

  • The mean on the Wechsler Scale is of 100, hence \mu = 100.
  • The standard deviation is of 17, hence \sigma = 17.
  • Brianna had an score of 117, hence X = 117

Then:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{117 - 100}{17}

Z = 1

Hence, the option d is correct.
