What expression is equivalent to 5(4 + 2x) Using distributive property

Hello!

The problem given in the image above has asked us to simplify the expression using the Distributive Property. The Distributive Property states the following:

a(b + c) = ab + ac
a(b – c) = ab – ac

In this case, we’ll use the first of the two formulas. Insert any known values given in the original equation:

a(b + c) = ab + ac
5(4 + 2x) = 5(4) + 5(2x)

Now simplify the right side of the equation:

5(4) + 5(2x) = 20 + 10x

We have now proven that 5(4 + 2x) is equivalent to the expression 20 + 10x.

I hope this helps!

Using the distributive property, 10x + 20.

(5 * 4) + (5 * 2x) = 20 + 10x = 10x + 20.

Construct a 95​% confidence interval to estimate the population mean using the data below. x overbarequals37 sigmaequals10 nequa
kap26 [50]

Answer:

With 95% confidence when n equals 44, the population mean is between a lower limit of 33.96 and an upper limit of 40.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval = mean + or - Error margin (E)

mean = 37

sd = 10

n = 44

degree of freedom = n - 1 = 44 - 1 = 43

t-value corresponding to 43 degrees of freedom and 95% confidence level is 2.0165

E = t × sd/√n = 2.0165×10/√44 = 3.04

Lower limit = mean - E = 37 - 3.04 = 33.96

Upper limit = mean + E = 37 + 3.04 = 40.04

95% confidence interval is between 33.96 and 40.04

In Mrs.Hu's classroom, 4/5 of the students have a dog as a pet. Of the students who have a dog as a pet also have cat as a pet.
Travka [436]

Answer:

This problem is incomplete, we do not know the fraction of the students that have a dog and also have a cat. Suppose we write the problem as:

"In Mrs.Hu's classroom, 4/5 of the students have a dog as a pet. X of the students who have a dog as a pet also have cat as a pet. If there are 45 students in her class, how many have both a dog and a cat as pets?"

Where X must be a positive number smaller than one, now we can solve it:

we know that in the class we have 45 students, and 4/5 of those students have dogs, so the number of students that have a dog as a pet is:

N = 45*(4/5) = 36

And we know that X of those 36 students also have a cat, so the number of students that have a dog and a cat is:

M = 36*X

now, we do not have, suppose that the value of X is 1/2 ("1/2 of the students who have a dog also have a cat")

M = 36*(1/2) = 18

So you can replace the value of X in the equation and find the number of students that have a dog and a cat as pets.
