Answer:

a=-8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

(-1/2a-5)=3a+1

To find the opposite of 1/2 a−5, find the opposite of each term.

-1/2a-(-5)= -3a+1

The opposite of −5 is 5.

-1/2a+5=-3a+1

add 3a to both sides

-1/2a+5+3a=1

Combine-1/2and 3a to get 5/2a

5/2a+5=1

Subtract 5 from both side

5/2a=1-5

Subtract 5 from 1 to get −4.

5/2a=-4

Multiply both sides by 2/5 =0.4, the reciprocal of 5/2=2.5.

a=-4x(2/5)

express -4x(2/5)=1.6 as single fraction.

a= -4x2/5

Multiply −4 and 2 to get −8.

a=-8/5

Fraction −8/5 ≈−1.6 can be rewritten as −8/5 =−1.6 by extracting the negative sign.

a=-8/5

Elise and her dad are planning to attend the state fair. An adult ticket is $21.00. The price of an adult ticket is $10.00 more

Answer:The equation to determine how much Elise will pay for a student ticket is 2x = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price of one student ticket.

Elise and her dad are planning to attend the state fair and the price of an adult ticket is $21.00

The price of an adult ticket is $10.00 more than two thirds the price of a student ticket. This means that

21 = 2/3 × x + 10

The equation to determine how much Elise will pay for a student ticket would be

2x/3 + 10 = 21

2x/3 = 21 - 10 = 11

2x = 11×3 = 33

x = 33/2 = $16.5

Past experience has indicated that the breaking strength of yarn used in manufacturing drapery material is normally distributed

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

95% two-sided confidence interval on the true mean breaking strength is (94.8cm, 99.2cm)

Step-by-step explanation:

Our sample size is 11.

The first step to solve this problem is finding our degrees of freedom, that is, the sample size subtracted by 1. So

$df = 11-1 = 10$ .

Then, we need to subtract one by the confidence level $\alpha$ and divide by 2. So:

$\frac{1-0.95}{2} = \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we need our answers from both steps above to find a value T in the t-distribution table. So, with 10 and 0.025 in the two-sided t-distribution table, we have $T = 1.812$

Now, we find the standard deviation of the sample. This is the division of the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size. So

$s = \frac{4}{\sqrt{11}} = 1.2060$

Now, we multiply T and s

$M = Ts = 1.812*1.2060 = 2.19/tex]For the lower end of the interval, we subtract the sample mean by M. So the lower end of the interval here is[tex]L = 97 - 2.19 = 94.81 = 94.8$ cm
