Answer:

I would set this up as:

let: lesser number = x

     greater number = 2x + 5

Restating the word problem:

lesser number + greater number = 38

        x           +  2x + 5             = 38

Solving:  3x + 5 = 38

                  - 5     -5

             ---------------

              3x      =  33

              ---          ---

               3            3

               x        =  11

Substitution for the greater number:

        2(11) + 5

          22    + 5

              27

Answer:

Let the 2 no.s be x and x+15. According to the question,. x+x+15=41. 2x+15=41. 2x=41−15. 2x=26. x=262. x=13. ∴ The no.s are 13 and 13+15=28.

Otto used 5.5 cups of whole wheat flour and x cups of white flour in the recipe. What is the equation that can be used to find t
sashaice [31]

Answer:

This situation of the recipe can be represented as y=x+5.5 and it is expected that x is ≥ 0 and y is ≥ 5.5.

What is the equation for this situation?

It is known the total amount of flour (y) is equivalent to the total amount of whole wheat flour (5.5) added to the total white flour (x). Therefore, the equation is:

y = x + 5.5

The possible values are

x = It is expected x is equalthan 0 or greater to it since the minimum amount of white flour that can be added is 0.

y = It is expected y is equal than 5.5 or greater to it since even if no

white flour is added the minimum total is 5.5.

The 90% confidence interval for the mean one-way commuting time in New York City is
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

95% provides more information

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval is obtained by using the relation :

Xbar ± Zcritical * σ/√n

(Xbar - (Zcritical * σ/√n)) = 5.22 - - - (1)

(Xbar + (Zcritical * σ/√n)) = 5.98 - - (2)

Adding (1) and (2)

2xbar = 5.22 + 5.98

2xbar = 11.2

xbar = 11.2 / 2 = 5.6

Margin of Error :

Xbar - lower C.I = Zcritical * σ/√n

Zcritical at 90% = 1.645

5.6 - 5.22 = 1.645 * (σ/√n)

0.38 = 1.645 * (σ/√n)

(σ/√n) = 0.38 / 1.645 = 0.231

Therefore, using the se parameters to construct at 95%

Zcritical at 95% = 1.96

Margin of Error = Zcritical * σ/√n

Margin of Error = 1.96 * 0.231 = 0.45276

C.I = xbar ± margin of error

C. I = 5.6 ± 0.45276

C.I = (5.6 - 0.45276) ; (5.6 + 0.45276)

C. I = (5.147 ; 6.053)

Hence, 95% confidence interval provides more information as it is wider.

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation: So we need to write and solve an equation to solve for m, which is 12. Simply plug in 12 for m in the equation.

Step 1: 2-x/4+10

Step 2: 2-12/4+10

Step 3: 2-3+10  

Step 4: -1+10=9

Plug 12 in for x

12 divided by 4 is 3 and 2-3 is -1

-1 + 10 is 9 -1 + 10 is 9

i hop it help u
