-8(8 - x) = 4/5(x + 10)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vedmedyk [2.9K]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

-8 (8 - x) = (4 (x + 10))/5

Multiply both sides by 5:

-8×5 (8 - x) = (5×4 (x + 10))/5

(5×4 (x + 10))/5 = 5/5×4 (x + 10) = 4 (x + 10):

-8×5 (8 - x) = 4 (x + 10)

5 (-8) = -40:

-40 (8 - x) = 4 (x + 10)

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

40 x - 320 = 4 (x + 10)

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

40 x - 320 = 4 x + 40

Subtract 4 x from both sides:

(40 x - 4 x) - 320 = (4 x - 4 x) + 40

40 x - 4 x = 36 x:

36 x - 320 = (4 x - 4 x) + 40

4 x - 4 x = 0:

36 x - 320 = 40

Add 320 to both sides:

36 x + (320 - 320) = 320 + 40

320 - 320 = 0:

36 x = 40 + 320

40 + 320 = 360:

36 x = 360

Divide both sides of 36 x = 360 by 36:

(36 x)/36 = 360/36

36/36 = 1:

x = 360/36

The gcd of 360 and 36 is 36, so 360/36 = (36×10)/(36×1) = 36/36×10 = 10:

Answer:  x = 10

A study dealing with health care issues plans to take a sample survey of 1500 Americans to estimate the mean dollar amount that
frutty [35]

Answer:

The population parameter of this study is the population mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

A population parameter is a numerical measure representing a certain characteristic of the population. For example, population mean, population variance, population proportion, and so on.

The population parameter is computed using all the values of the population.

The population parameter can be estimated using the sample statistic. If the value of the population parameter is not known, then a random sample of large size, say <em>n</em> ≥ 30 can be selected from the population and the statistic value can be computed. This statistic value is considered as the point estimate of the parameter. It is also known as the unbiased estimator of the parameter.

In this case the survey involved sampling of 1500 Americans to estimate the mean dollar amount that Americans spent on health care in the past year.

The sample selected is used to compute the sample mean dollar amount that Americans spent on health care.

So, the population parameter of this study is the population mean.

Adam plans to choose a video game from a section of the store where everything is 75%
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Look below

Step-by-step explanation:

In Adam's expression, d represents the original price of the game. 0.75d represents 75% of the original price; this is the amount of the discount, since everything is 75% off.  Taking the difference of the original price and the discount, d-0.75d, gives us the total price of the game. In Rena's expression, 0.25 represents 25%.  This is because taking 75% off of the price means we still pay 100-75 = 25% of the original price. Multiplying the original price, d, by the 0.25, gives us 25% of the original price; this is the total price.
