Answer: x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-8 (x + 5) = -3x - 7 + x - 3

First, we use distributive property

-8x - 40 = -3x - 7 + x - 3

Then, we combine like terms.

-3x + x = -2x

-7 + -3 = -10

-8x - 40 = -2x - 10

Add 10 to each side

-8x - 30 = -2x

Add 8x to each side

-30 = 6x

Divide each side by 6

-5 = x

  • <em>Answer:</em>

<em>x = - 2</em>

<em>y = 5</em>

  • <em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>Hi there ! </em>

<em>2x + 9 = y</em>

<em>y = - 4x - 3</em>

<em> </em>

<em>equality</em>

<em>2x + 9 = - 4x - 3</em>

<em>2x + 4x = - 9 - 3</em>

<em>6x = - 12</em>

<em>x = - 12 : 6</em>

<em>x = - 2</em>

<em>replace x = - 2</em>

<em>2(-2) + 9 = y</em>

<em>- 4 + 9 = y</em>

<em>y = 5</em>

<em>Good luck !</em>

Hitman42 [59]
Z = (X-Mean)/SD 
<span>z1 = (165 - 150)/15 = +1 </span>
<span>z2 = (135 - 150)/15 = - 1 </span>
<span>According to the Empirical Rule 68-95-99.7 </span>
<span>Mean +/- 1SD covers 68% of the values </span>
<span>100% - 68% = 32% </span>
<span>The remaining 32% is equally distributed below z = - 1 and z = +1 </span>
<span>32%/2 = 16%

<span>Therefore,

<span>a) Number of men weighing more than 165 pounds = 16% of 1000 = 160 </span>
<span>b) Number of men weighing less than 135 pounds = 16% of 1000 = 160</span>
