Answer: x can equal any number

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 15 = 2x + 10 + x + 5

First, combine the like terms on the right side

2x + x = 3x

10 + 5 = 15

3x + 15 = 3x + 15

Subtract 15 from both sides

3x = 3x

Divide each side by 3

x = x

This means that x can equal any number, and the equation will always be true.

Answer:

The equation is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify. Combine like terms:

3x + 15 = (2x + x) + (10 + 5)

3x + 15 = (3x) + 15

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 3x and 15 from both sides:

3x (-3x) + 15 (-15) = 3x (-3x) + 15 (-15)

3x - 3x = 15 - 15

0 = 0

~ True. The two expressions are equal to each other.

LenKa [72]

The equations presented in the choices above are all derived from the Pythagorean theorem. This states that the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides is equal to the square of the longest side which is also referred to as the hypotenuse.

If the sum of the squares of the shorter sides is smaller compared to the square of the hypotenuse then, the triangle is OBTUSE. The answer therefore to this item is letter A.

A random sample of 12 recent college graduates reported an average starting salary of $54,000 with a standard deviation of $6,00

Marianna [84]

Answer: a.) $50188 to $57812

Step-by-step explanation: Confidence Interval (CI) is an interval of values in which we are confident the true mean is in.

The interval is calculated as

x ± $z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$

a. For a 95% CI, z-value is 1.96.

Solving:

54,000 ± $1.96.\frac{6000}{\sqrt{12} }$

54,000 ± $1.96\frac{6000}{3.464}$

54,000 ± 1.96*1732.102

54,000 ± 3395

This means the interval is

50605 < μ < 57395

With a 95% confidence interval, the mean starting salary of college graduates is between 50605 and 57395 or from 50188 to 57812$.

b. The mean starting salary for college students in 2017 is $50,516, which is in the confidence interval. Therefore, since we 95% sure the real mean is between 50188 and 57812, there was no significant change since 2017.
