\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \frac{2x-20}{3}=2x  \end{gathered}$}

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf 2x-20=6x \end{gathered}$}

Subtract 6x on both sides.

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf 2x-20-6x=0 \end{gathered}$}

Combine 2x and −6x to get −4x.

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf -4x-20=0 \end{gathered}$}

Add 20 to both sides. Any value plus zero results in its same value.

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf -4x=20 \end{gathered}$}

Divide both sides by −4.

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf x=\frac{20}{-4}  \end{gathered}$}

Divide 20 by −4 to get −5.

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf x=-5 \ \ \to \ \ \ Answer \end{gathered}$}

Thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

a) 0.0869 = 8.69% probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm

b) 0.0668 = 6.68% probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 4.9, \sigma = 1.4

(a) the thickness is less than 3.0 mm

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 3.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{3 - 4.9}{1.4}

Z = -1.36

Z = -1.36 has a pvalue of 0.0869

0.0869 = 8.69% probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm

(b) the thickness is more than 7.0 mm

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 7. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{7 - 4.9}{1.4}

Z = 1.5

Z = 1.5 has a pvalue of 0.9332

1 - 0.9332 = 0.0668

0.0668 = 6.68% probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm

If RS = 17, ST = x + 6, and RT = 3x - 5, What is ST.
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

ST = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Line segment RS and segment ST must add up to line segment RT

Step 1: Define

RS = 17

ST = x + 6

RT = 3x - 5

Step 2: Set up equation

mRS + mST = mRT

17 + x + 6 = 3x - 5

Step 3: Solve for <em>x</em>

x + 23 = 3x - 5

23 = 2x - 5

28 = 2x

x = 14

Step 3: Find mST

ST = x + 6

ST = 14 + 6

ST = 20

Find the circumference a circle with the diameter AB<br><br> A (-8,4) and B (4,-1)
Simora [160]

Answer:

<em>C = 13π ≈ 40.82 units </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

C = 2 r π = d π

AB = \sqrt{(-8-4)^2 +(4+1)^2} = 13 units

<em>C = 13π ≈ 40.82 units</em> ( π ≈ 3.14 )
