4x - 15 = 9
4x = 9 + 15 
4x = 24
x = 24/4
x = 6

hope this helps you

Translating it into math figures:
4*?-15=9
lets say the question mark is x:
4*x-15=9
4x-15=9
adding 15 from both sides:
4x=24
now divide both sides by 4:
x=6
just to make sure it's correct, put it in the original equation
4*6-15=9
24-15=9

Suppose that 20% of the residents in a certain state support an increase in the property tax. An opinion poll will randomly samp
zepelin [54]

Answer:

C) There is roughly a 95% chance that the resulting sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the true proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 20% of the residents in a certain state support an increase in the property tax.

Sample size = 400

We want the sample proportion to be within 0.04 of the true proportion (i.e., between 0.16 and 0.24)

i.e. margin of error <0.04

Std error of sample = \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } =\sqrt{\frac{0.2(0.8)}{400} } \\=0.02

Critical value = margin of error/ std error = \frac{0.04}{0.02} \\=2

We know z value for 95% two tailed roughly equals 2.

Hence 95% confidence is right.

C) There is roughly a 95% chance that the resulting sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the true proportion.

Find the solution of this system of equations.
vagabundo [1.1K]
I'm going to use the substitution method.

4x + 4y = -16
-8x - 6y = -20

4x + 4y = -16
- 4x - 4x
--------------------------
4y = -4x - 16
------ ------ ------
4 4 4

y = -x - 4

-8x - 6(-x - 4) = -20
-8x + 6x + 24 = -20
-2x + 24 = -20
- 24 - 24
----------------------------
-2x = 44
------- -------
2 2

x = 22


4(22) + 4y = -16
88 + 4y = -16
- 88 - 88
------------------------
4y = -104
------ ---------
4 4

y = -26



The answer is (22, -26).
