Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of segments is used:
EF +FG = EG
3x +(5x +16) = 11x -2 . . . . substitute given expressions
8x +18 = 11x . . . . . . . . add 2
18 = 3x . . . . . . . . subtract 8x
6 = x . . . . . . divide by 3
The value of the variable is 6.

<em>Check</em>
The segment lengths are ...
EF = 3x = 3·6 = 18
FG = 5x+16 = 5·6 +16 = 46
EG = 11x -2 = 11·6 -2 = 64 = 18+46 . . . answer is correct
To find what percentage one number is of another; divide the first number by the other number and multiply by 100 !
p = ( 6 / 76 )× 100 ;
p = 600 / 76 ;
p = 7.89 ≈ 8 ;
p% = 8% ;
7 - N (replace N with 34)
7 - 34
- 27
The answer is - 27
<span>A medical researcher wants to investigate the amount of time it takes for patients' headache pain to be relieved after taking a new prescription painkiller. She plans to use statistical methods to estimate the mean of the population of relief times. She believes that the population is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 18 minutes. How large a sample should she take to estimate the mean time to within 4 minutes with 97% confidence?
