Steps to solve
1) We have 5 +(-8)n = 29, which we can change to 5 - 8n = 29, because a positive times negative equals a negative
2) To isolate n, we move all of the other numbers to the other side of the equation. Since 5 is the only number on the left side, we subtract 5 from both sides
5 -5 - 8n = 29 -5
-8n = 24
3) Now, to find n, we want to just have one n on the left side instead of -8, so we divide the equation by -8 to find that
-8n/-8 = 24/8
n = 3

Therefore, n = 3

The answer is n=32 cause you add 8 to both sides and then u have 5+n=37 and then you subtract 5 from 5 and 37 and it leaves N=32

Answer:

$\frac{15,7 - 20}{1,26} = - 3,4$

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the Z - score, it is calculated as follows:

$\frac{X - X_{avg} }{σ}$

Then:

$\frac{15,7 - 20}{1,26} = - 3,4$

It means that there are more than 3 standar deviations below the advertised mileage.

inna [77]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \: M = \left( 8\frac{1}{5},2\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

we want to figure out the point "M" which is on a segment with endpoints X(1,-2) and Y(10,3) partitions the segment in a 4:1 ratio.

to find so, we can consider section formula . we know that Section formula is used to find the ratio in which a line segment is divided by a point internally or externally the ratio is written as m:n

however in this case the following formula can be used used:

$\displaystyle \left( \frac{m x_{2} +n x_{1}}{m + n} , \frac{m y_{2} + n y_{1}}{m +n}\right)$
