Let us assume the length of the first shelf = x
Then
The length of the second shelf = 2x + 18
Length of the third shelf = x -12
Length of the fourth shelf = x + 4
The total length of the board = 2.5 meters.
                                              = ( 2.5 * 100) cm
                                               = 250 cm
Then we can write the equation as
x + 2x + 18 + x - 12 + x + 4 = 250
5x + 10 = 250
After dividing both sides of the equation by 5 we get
x + 2 = 50
x = 50 - 2
   = 48
Then
The length of the second shelf = 2x + 18
                                                 = 2(48) + 18
                                                 = 96 + 18
                                                 = 116
So the length of the second shelf is 116 cm.

choli [55]

we have given y interms of x.

we have given that add 2 to x.

which means y=x+2

so we have x=2 ,y=x+2=2+2=4.

so when x=2 ,y=4.

x=4,y=x+4=4+2=6..

y=x+2,y=6+2=8.

Anika [276]

Answer:

d. Ore treated with the new process.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a common practice in statistics, in which we use a sample of a population to infer something about the entire population. We should use a sample of 100.

For example, if we want to know the proportion of residents of Buffalo, New York, who are Bills fans, we are going to take a sample of like, 100 residents, and then use this to estimate for the entire city.

In this problem, we have that:

A new process that is supposed to increase the recovered amount is being tested. In a simple random sample of 100 batches of ore, an average of 42 pounds per ton were recovered using the new process.

So the population of interest is the ore treated with new process. We use a sample of 100 to gather information about the entire population.

So the correct answer is:

d. Ore treated with the new process.
