A student is attempting to solve a multi-step equation. Sample mathematical work is shown below. Which statement best applies to

the sample mathematical work?
Given the equation -m/2+8=-1/3, I must solve for m. I first subtract 8 from both sides, which gives me -m/2=-25/3 then multiply both sides by –2, which gives me the final answer of m=50/3

The Perimeter or a regular pentagon is 41.5cm. Write and solve an equation to determine the length of each side of the pentagon
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

8.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

So a pentagon has 5 equal sides, and the perimeter is the distance around a figure. Because we know the perimeter is 41.5 centimeters, we just divide that number by 5.

Perimeter (P) = s+s+s+s+s (sides)

P: 41.5 cm ÷ 5 =

8.3 cm

We know this is correct because:

8.3 + 8.3 + 8.3 + 8.3 + 8.3 = 41.5

Hope this helps!

In a normal distribution, 51 is the score that is two standard deviations above the mean, and 36 is the score one standard devia
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The mean is 41

Step-by-step explanation:

Here , we are interested in finding the mean.

Firstly, let the standard deviation be x and the mean be y.

We are told that 51 is 2 standard deviations above the mean. What this mean is that if we subtract 2 standard deviations from 51, we will arrive at the mean.

Mathematically;

51 - 2(x) = y

y + 2x = 51 •••••••••(i)

We are also told that 36 is one standard deviation below the mean. What this mean is that if we subtract one standard deviation from the mean, we will have 36

Mathematically, that would be;

y-36 = x •••••••(ii)

Substitute ii into i directly;

We have

y + 2(y-36) = 51

y + 2y -72 = 51

3y -72 = 51

3y = 51 + 72

3y = 123

y = 123/3

y = 41

Lanaiya sold half of her comic books and then bought 9 more. If she now has 81 comic books, how many comic books did she begin w
Allushta [10]

Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

(81 - 9) * 2 = 144

work backwards, you now have 81 books. But you bought 9, so pretend you didn't buy the 9, means you would have 9 less books. so 81-9.

Then you multiply by 2 because originally you sold half of the books, so before you sold half, you had double the amount, so you multiply that by 2.
