A number decreased by 12 is 24...
n - 12 = 24
n = 24 + 12
n = 36 <== ur number

A number decreased by 12 is 24.
(by looking at your question, we can see that 'decreased by 12' =  subtract (-) 12)

We can write this as the equation n - 12 = 24, in which n = the number.

Now let's solve for n by using algebraic properties.

        n - 12 = 24
n - 12 + 12 = 24 + 12   (add 12 to both sides to isolate n)
               n = 24 + 12   (the -12 and +12 cancel to 0 on the left side)
               n = 36           (simplify, add 24 and 12)

Therefore the number is 36.

Answer: z= -2.35

Step-by-step explanation:

When the population variation is know, then we calculate the z-statistic.

Formula to calculate the z-test statistic is given by :-

z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

where , n= sample size

\overline{x} = sample mean

\mu = Population mean

\sigma =Population standard deviation.

As per given we have,

n= 270

\mu= 108

\overline{x}=107

\sigma^2=49\\\\\Rightarrow \sigma=\sqrt{49}=7

Then, z-statistic  will be

z=\dfrac{107-108}{\dfrac{7}{\sqrt{270}}}    (Substitute all the values )

\Rightarrow\ z=\dfrac{-1}{\dfrac{7}{16.4316767252}}  

\Rightarrow\ z=\dfrac{-1}{0.426006433614}  

\Rightarrow\ z=-2.34738238931\approx-2.35  

Hence, the value of the test statistic= z= -2.35

What is the factored form of this expression?<br><br> x2 + 15x + 56
AlladinOne [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

{x}^{2}  + 15x + 56

{x}^{2}  + 7x + 8x + 56

taking common

x(x + 7) + 8(x + 7)

(x + 8) (x + 7)
