- 2(x+5) = -2 Directions say solve for the equation

Mathematics
1 answer:
erik [133]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute:

-2(x + 5) = -2

-2(x) -2(5) = -2

Multiply:

-2(x) -2(5) = -2

-2x - 10 = -2

Add 10 on both sides:

-2x - 10 = -2

      +10    +10

-2x = 8

Divide by -2 on both sides:

-2x = 8

/-2     /-2

x = -4

frez [133]
It's gonna be 5 - (2 + 4 -2)
according to order of operations, we have to solve inside the parentheses/brackets first (from left to right)

therefore, it will be
5 - (6 - 2)
=5 - (4)

Next, distribute the negative to the four and add normally.

= 5 - 4
= 1

A theater seats 2,816 people. The first row has 26 seats while the last row has 150 seats. Assuming the number of seats per row
wolverine [178]

Answer:

The theater has 32 rows

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of the sum of n terms of an arithmetic sequence is S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} (a + l), where

  • a is the first term
  • l is the last term
  • n is the number of the terms

∵ The number of seats per row follows an arithmetic sequence

∵ The first row has 26 seats

∴ a = 26

∵ The last row has 150 seats

∴ l = 150

∵ The theater seats are 2,816

∴ S_{n} = 2,816

→ Substitute these values in the rule of the sum above to find n

∵ 2,816 = \frac{n}{2}(26 + 150)

∴ 2,816 = \frac{n}{2}(176)

∴ 2,816 = 88n

→ Divide both sides by 88

∴ 32 = n

∵ n represents the number of the rows

∴ The theater has 32 rows

What is the probability that five randomly selected students will have a mean score that is greater than the mean achieved by th
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

the probability that five randomly selected students will have a mean score that is greater than the mean achieved by the students = 0.0096

Step-by-step explanation:

From the five randomly selected students ; 160, 175, 163, 149, 153

mean average of the students = 160+175+163+149+153/5

= mean = x-bar = 800/5

mean x-bar = 160

from probability distribution, P(x-bar > 160) = P[ x-bar - miu / SD > 160 -150.8 /3.94]

P( Z>2.34) = from normal Z-distribution table

= 0.0096419

= 0.0096

hence the probability that five randomly selected students will have a mean score that is greater than the mean achieved by the students = 0.0096

where SD = standard deviation = 3.94 and Miu = 150.8

True or false: Outliers can cause data sets to be skewed.
Natali [406]
True - since the outlier is way off it will cause your average to mess up which is why we test multiple times to make sure we are more accurate with our numbers
