Which equation has the solution x = 3?

Well, let's first solve each equation:

1.) -4x + 6 - 3x = 12 - 2x - 3x

To start, combine each like-term on each side of the equal sign (The numbers with variables in-common // the numbers alike on the same side of the equal sign):

-7x + 6 = 12 - 5x

Now, we get the two terms with variables attached to them, on the same side, so, we do the opposite of subtraction, which is, addition:

-7x + 6 = 12 - 5x
+5x +5x
_____________
-2x + 6 = 12

Next, you do the opposite of addition, which is, subtraction, and, subtract 6 from both sides:

-2x + 6 = 12
-6 -6
____________
-2x = 6

Finally, divide by -2 on each side, to find out what the value of 'x' is:

-2x = 6
÷-2 ÷-2
________
x = -3

So, the answer is not 'A.'
_________________________________________

Now, we test out the rest of the equations, the exact same way:

2.) 4x + 6 + 3x = 12 + 2x + 3x

Combine your like-terms, on each side of the equal sign:

7x + 6 = 12 + 5x

Now, get both terms, with the variable, 'x,' to the same side, and, to do that, do the opposite of addition, which is, subtraction:

7x + 6 = 12 + 5x
-5x -5x
______________
2x + 6 = 12

Next, subtract 6 from both sides:

2x + 6 = 12
-6 -6
__________
2x = 6

Finally, divide by 2, on both sides:

2x = 6
÷2 ÷2
__________
x = 3

So, the answer is 'B.'
_________________________________________

3.) 4x + 6 - 3x = 12 - 2x - 3x

Again, we combine the like-terms, on both sides of the equal sign:

x + 6 = 12 - 5x

Now, we get both terms with the variable 'x,' to the same side, and, the opposite of subtraction, is addition, so, we're going to add 5x to both sides:

x + 6 = 12 - 5x
+ 5x + 5x
______________
6x + 6 = 12

Now, we subtract 6 from each side, because, the opposite of addition, is subtraction:

6x + 6 = 12
- 6 - 6
_____________
6x = 6

Now, divide by 6, on both sides:

6x = 6
÷ 6 ÷ 6
_____________
x = 1

So, the answer is not 'C.'
_________________________________________

4.) 4x + 6 - 3x = 12x + 2x + 3x

First, we combine the like-terms:

x + 6 = 17x

Next, we get both terms, with the variable, 'x,' to the same side:

x + 6 = 17x
-x -x
_____________
6 = 16x

Now, divide by 16, on both sides:

X = 3/8

So, 'D,' is not the answer.
_______________________

The answer is, 'B.'

ki77a [65]

Answer:

Yes, a GPA of 3.8 is more than one standard deviation from the mean

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = student's college GPA.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Norma distribution (since it is uni-modal and symmetric) with parameter <em>μ</em> = 2.7 and <em>σ</em> = 0.5.

To determine whether a GPA of 3.8 is more than one standard deviation from the mean, compute the percentile ranks of each GPA.

Compute the probability of getting a GPA less than 3.8 as follows:

P(X

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

The GPA of 3.8 is at the 99th percentile.

Compute the probability of getting a GPA less than (μ + σ) as follows:

P(X

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

The GPA of (μ + σ =) 3.2 is at the 84th percentile.

Since the percentile rank of GPA 3.8 is more than the percentile rank of GPA 3.2, i.e. one standard deviation from the mean, it can be concluded that a GPA of 3.8 is more than one standard deviation from the mean.

14. What is the measure of angle wº? Show all work.
Semmy [17]

Answer:

100 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by finding angle y, which is supplementary to 160.

180-160=20

angle y = 20 degrees.

With that, we can find angle w using the interior-exterior sangle theorem (or whatever name you use for it) which states that "the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the measures of two remote interior angles". In other words:

angle w = angle y + 80

angle w = 20+80

angle w = 100.

The final answer is 100 degrees.

I hope this helped! :D
