Answer:

the solution is x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Collect terms:

x(5 -2) +(-7 +2) = -26

3x -5 = -26

Add 5 to get the variable term by itself:

3x = -21

Divide by the coefficient of the variable:

x = -7

The answer to, "what is it?" is that it is a linear equation in x. After you collect terms, it is what is referred to as a "two-step" linear equation, because it takes two steps to solve it: add 5, divide by 3.

Answer:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5x−7+2−2x=−26

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x−7+2−2x=−26

5x+−7+2+−2x=−26

(5x+−2x)+(−7+2)=−26(Combine Like Terms)

3x+−5=−26

3x−5=−26

Step 2: Add 5 to both sides.

3x−5+5=−26+5

3x=−21

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

−21

x=−7

Answer:

x=−7

A consumer group has determined that the distribution of life spans for gas ovens has a mean of 15.0 years and a standard deviat

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

B. Mean = 1.6 years, standard deviation = 0.92 years, shape: approximately Normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Subtraction of normal variables:

When we subtract normal variables, the mean is the subtraction of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

35 gas ovens

A consumer group has determined that the distribution of life spans for gas ovens has a mean of 15.0 years and a standard deviation of 4.2 years. This means that:

$\mu_G = 15, \sigma_G = 4.2, n = 35, s_G = \frac{4.2}{\sqrt{35}} = 0.71$
