Answer:

The value of x is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let B be between A and C.

AB = 3x + 5

BC = 5x - 1

AC = 36

To Find:

x=?

Solution:

B be between A and C as shown in Figure

A-B-C such that

AC=AB+BC           ...........Line Addition Property

Substituting the given values we get

36=3x+5+5x-1=8x+4\\\\\therefore 8x=36-4=32\\\\\therefore x=\dfrac{32}{8}=4\\\\\therefore x=4

The value of x is 4.

An economist wants to estimate the mean per capita income (in thousands of dollars) for a major city in California. Suppose that
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

(22.0297, 23.3703)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an economist wants to estimate the mean per capita income (in thousands of dollars) for a major city in California.

Let X be per capita income (in thousands of dollars) for a major city in California.

Mean = 22.7

n = 183

Population std dev = 6.3

Since population std dev is known we can use Z critical value.

Std error = \frac{6.3}{\sqrt{183} } \\=0.4657

Z critical =1.44

Marginof error = ±1.44*0.4657=0.6706

Confidence interval 85%

=(22.7-0.6703, 22.7+0.6703)\\= (22.0297, 23.3703)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of candies with Forest = 12

Candies containing coconut and chocolate both = Number common in coconut and the chocolate = 3

Candies which do not contain coconut but contain the chocolate = 6

Candies which contain the coconut but do not contain the chocolate = 1

Candies which neither contain the chocolate nor coconut = 2

From the given Venn diagram,

                                                Contain coconut         Do not contain coconut

Contain chocolate                              3                                       6

Do not contain chocolate                 1                                        2

Can anyone answer this question please<br> 6[y-2]/7-12=2[y-7]/3
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

y =47.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

First eliminate the fractions by multiplying through by the LCM of 7 and 3 which is 21:

21* 6[y-2]/7-21*12 = 21*2[y-7]/3

18(y - 2) - 252 = 14(y - 7)

18y -36 - 252 = 14y - 98

18y - 14y = -98 + 36 + 252

4y = 190

y = 190/4

y = 47.5.
