Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−4(x+3)=8

(−4)(x)+(−4)(3)=8(Distribute)

−4x+−12=8

−4x−12=8

Step 2: Add 12 to both sides.

−4x−12+12=8+12

−4x=20

Step 3: Divide both sides by -4.

−4x

____

−4

________

−4

x=−5

Answer:

x=−5

Please help! Create a set of five positive numbers (repeats allowed) that have a median of 10 and a mean of 14. What thought pro

Brilliant_brown [7]

Alright, since there are 5 numbers, and the mean (or average) is (sum)/(amount of numbers), we have (sum)/5=14. Multiplying both sides by 5, we have the sum being 80. The median of 10 means that in a, b, c, d, e, 10 has to be c and the numbers have to be in ascending order. A and b must be 10 or lower, while d and e must be 10 or higher. Putting some random numbers in, we can have 1, 1, 10, 15, and e. We left e there because the sum needs to be 80, and since 1+1+10+15=27, 80-27=53=e. This, however, would not work if e was less than 10 and we therefore would have needed to make some numbers lower to compensate for this. Our answer is therefore 1, 1, 10, 15, 53

May someone please help me on which to graph?

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Option (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportional relationship means,

y ∝ x

y = kx

$k=\frac{y}{x}$

Here, k = proportionality constant

Therefore, if the graph of a line passes through the origin (0, 0) table will represent the proportional relationship.

From table 1,

For a point (1, 2)

$k=\frac{2}{1}=2$

For another point (3, 2)

$k=\frac{3}{2}=1.5$

In both the cases 'k' is not same of constant.

Therefore, table (1) is not proportional.

For table (2),

Line passes through (2, 0).

That means there is a x-intercept → (2, 0)

Therefore, table doesn't represent a proportional relationship.

For table (3),

Line passes through a point (0, 1)

It means given line has a y-intercept → y = 1

Therefore, table doesn't represent a proportional relationship.

For table (4),

Line of this table passes through two points (1, 3) and (2, 6)

$k=\frac{3}{1}=3$

$k=\frac{6}{2}=3$

Therefore, proportionality constant for the given table is 3.

Now we can graph table (4).

Jack plotted the graph below to show the relationship between the temperature of his city and the number of ice cream cones he s

timurjin [86]

Answer:

(a) The amount of ice cream increase as temperature increases

(b)

$y = 2x + 5$ --- equation

$y = 5$ --- y intercept

$m = 2$ --- slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for graph

Solving (a): The relationship between the variables

From the attached graph, the dots on the graph increases towards up-right direction. This implies that there is a positive correlation between the variables.

In other words;

The amount of ice cream increase as temperature increases

Solving (b): The line of best fit

First, we draw a line through the points (the line should have almost equal points on both sides; see attachment 2).

From (2), we select any 2 points on the line:

$(x_1,y_1) = (15,35)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (0,5)$

The slope (m) is:

$m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{5-35}{0-15}$

$m = \frac{-30}{-15}$

$m = 2$

So, the line of best fit is:

$y = m(x - x_1) + y_1$

Substitute known values:

$y = 2(x - 0) + 5$

$y = 2(x) + 5$

$y = 2x + 5$

The y-intercept is when $x=0$

So, we have:

$y = 2*0 + 5$

$y = 0 + 5$

$y = 5$
