Your trying to isolate the x and the number without x, so after taking 2x from the left side subtract it from 5x and then subtract the three from both sides as well. your answer is the next step is the 3

2x - 8 = 5x + 3
-2x        -2x
-8 = 3x + 3
-3          -3
-11 = 3x
/3      /3
-3.6666666667 = x

Knowing this, we can conclude that subtracting 3 is your answer.

1 + 1 2 ⋅ (4x − 6) = −2
Dmitry [639]

1.4375

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Let the given equation be     1+12(4X-6)=-2

To find X simplification of terms using BODMAS ( Brackets Orders Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction) is done as follows.

Step 2:

Let us expand the equation as 1+ (12*4X)-(12*6)=-2

Step 3:

Let us expand it further as 1+48X-72=-2

Step 4:

To find X segregate X in one side and all other remaining terms in other side as follows

48X=-2+72-1

After the simplification the numerical value is

48X=69

Step 5:

Keep X along one side and bring 48 to the denominator of another side to find X as follows

X=69/48

And the value of X is 1.4375

Suppose that Y takes on the values {0, 1, 2, 3}, each with probability 1/4. Take a random sample of 5 numbers from this distribu
arsen [322]

Answer:

The total number of samples that give this outcome is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Y takes values in {0,1,2,3}, For us to have that Y_1+Y_2+Y_3+Y_4+Y_5=1 implies that all of them are zero but one. The one that is non-zero necessarily is equal to 1. To calculate the number of samples that give this outcome is equivalent to counting the total number of ways in which we can pick the i-index such that Y_i=1. Note that in this case we can either choose Y1 to be 1, Y2 to be 1 and so on. So, the total number of samples that give this outcome is 5.

When I graphed the linear​ function, it turned out to be a wavy curve.
Elden [556K]

Answer:

B.  The statement does not make sense because a linear function has a​ straight-line graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear functions have a general form y = m*x +b and only yield straight-line graphs. Therefore, the statement does not make sense, either the graphed function is not linear, or there was an error in the graphing process. The answer is alternative B.

*Note that alternative D is wrong because it is incomplete, since linear functions can have a rate of change that increases (m > 0), decreases (m < 0) or that is zero (m = 0).
