How do you do this equation: 9|5x+8|=54

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sergio [31]3 years ago

Answer (2 answers):

x = -2/5,  x = -14/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to try and get the absolute value by itself on one side and everything else that's not inside the absolute value on the other side.

9|5x+8|=54

|5x+8| = 54/9

|5x+8| = 6

Remember how absolute values turn everything positive? For example

|-4|=4, but |4|=4 as well. So we must do the same to our problem by splitting up the absolute equation into two parts.

|5x+8| = 6     and     |-(5x+8)| = 6

now solve the first equation.

(Just remove the absolute value sign and solve it normally)

5x+8 = 6

5x = -2

x = -2/5

Now solve the other equation

-(5x+8) = 6

-5x - 8 = 6

-5x = 14

x = -14/5

A survey of 76 commercial airline flights of under 2 hours resulted in a sample average late time for a flight of 2.55 minutes.
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The best point of estimate for the true mean is:

\hat \mu = \bar X = 2.55

2.55-1.96\frac{12}{\sqrt{76}}=-0.148    

2.55+1.96\frac{12}{\sqrt{76}}=5.248    

Since the time can't be negative a good approximation for the confidence interval would be (0,5.248) minutes. The interval are tellling to us that at 95% of confidence the average late time is lower than 5.248 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=2.55 represent the sample mean for the late time for a flight

\mu population mean

\sigma=12 represent the population deviation

n=76 represent the sample size  

Confidence interval

The best point of estimate for the true mean is:

\hat \mu = \bar X = 2.55

The confidence interval for the true mean is given by:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

The Confidence level given is 0.95 or 95%, th significance would be \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. If we look in the normal distribution a quantile that accumulates 0.025 of the area on each tail we got z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Replacing we got:

2.55-1.96\frac{12}{\sqrt{76}}=-0.148    

2.55+1.96\frac{12}{\sqrt{76}}=5.248    

Since the time can't be negative a good approximation for the confidence interval would be (0,5.248) minutes. The interval are tellling to us that at 95% of confidence the average late time is lower than 5.248 minutes.

Please help me!! You must be good in math.

It is SAS because
1) it is given that sides are equal (AB=CD)
2)it is also given that angles B and C are equal
3) BC is a common side so it is equal in both triangles.

answer: SAS
