Let the number be X
3x+5=26
3x= 26-5
3x=21
x=7
The number is 7

Proof if it is required on your test:
3x+5=26
3(7)+5= 26
21+5=26
26=26

(Hope this helps!)

My numbe is 7 because...

3x + 5 = 26
- 5 = 21
3x = 21
Divide 3x by 3 then 21 by 3
That leaves with 1x = 7

If (a, -5) is a solution to the equation 3a = -2B - 7, what is a?

Andrew [12]

I think what you need to do is make B = -5
3a = -2(-5) - 7
3a = 10 - 7
3a = 3
a = 1

Answer:

sqrt(-8x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

(5-8x)

-----------------

sqrt(-8x+5)

We need to rationalize the denominator

(5-8x) sqrt(-8x+5)

----------------- * ---------------

sqrt(-8x-5) sqrt(-8x+5)

(5-8x) sqrt(-8x+5)

----------------- * ---------------

(-8x+5)

The first term cancels

sqrt(-8x+5)

Use the standard normal distribution or the t-distribution to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean. Jus

Answer:

(25.732,30.868)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a random sample of 42 people, the mean body mass index (BMI) was 28.3 and the standard deviation was 6.09.

Since only sample std deviation is known we can use only t distribution

Std error = $\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } =\frac{6.09}{\sqrt{42} } \\=0.9397$

$df = 42-1 =41$

t critical for 99% two tailed $= 2.733$

Margin of error $= 2.733*0.9397=2.568$

Confidence interval lower bound = $28.3-2.568=25.732$

Upper bound = $28.3+2.568=30.868$
