Solve for x

Mathematics
1 answer:
ludmilkaskok [199]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

5x - 2(x + 1) = 1/4

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. <u>Distribute -2:</u> 5x - 2x - 2 = 1/4
  2. <u>Combine like terms:</u> 3x - 2 = 1/4
  3. <u>Add 2 to both sides:</u> 3x = 9/4
  4. <u>Divide both sides by 3:</u> x = 3/4

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

5(3/4) - 2(3/4 + 1) = 1/4

15/4 - 2(7/4) = 1/4

15/4 - 14/4 = 1/4

1/4 = 1/4

The table shows how much a store charges for certain numbers of pencils. Number of pencils (p) Cost (c) 4 $0.72 7 $1.26 12 $2.16
Arada [10]
Find the rate of change, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), from the data given...

(2.16-1.26)/(12-7)=0.18

(1.26-0.72)/(7-4)=0.18

Since the rate is constant, this is a linear equation of the form y=mx+b.  Furthermore, since 0 pencils cost 0, b=0, so the cost of the pencils is simply the number of pencils times 18 cents...

c(p)=0.18p  (cost with respect to pencils is 0.18 times the number of pencils)

A study is conducted to determine if a newly designed text book is more helpful to learning the material than the old edition. T
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The null and alternative hypotheses are:

H_{0}:\mu=75

H_{a} : \mu>75

Under the null hypothesis, the test statistic is:

t=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }

Where:

\bar{x} =83 is the sample mean

s=9.8206 is the sample standard deviation

n=10 is the sample size

\therefore t= \frac{83-75}{\frac{9.8206}{\sqrt{10}} }

         =2.58

Now, we can find the right tailed t critical value at 0.01 significance level for df = n-1 = 10 - 1 = 9 using the t distribution table. The t critical value is given below:

t_{critical} =2.821

Since the test statistic is less than the t critical value, we therefore, fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the people do better with the new edition.
