Answer:

  add x

Step-by-step explanation:

The operation "subtract 5" has eliminated the constant from the right side of the equation, so the next step would be to eliminate the variable from the left side. You do that by adding the opposite of the variable term.

The opposite of the term -x is x, so we "add x" as the next step.

This makes the solution look like ...

  -x +6 = 5 -3x

  -x +1 = -3x . . . . . . subtract 5

  1 = -2x . . . . . . . . . add x

  -1/2 = x . . . . . . . . .divide by -2

_____

<em>Comment on this solution</em>

My preference is always to add the opposite of the variable term with the smallest coefficient. Here, that term is -3x, so I would add 3x as a first step. This leaves the only x-term with a <em>positive</em> coefficient, so can reduce errors in the solution.

Mai says that -8 &gt; -4 . Do you agree with her? Explain or show your reasoning.
Elza [17]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

-8 is less than -4. Negative numbers reverse the logic of positive ones: since positive 8 is more than positive 4, negative 8 is less than negative 4.

Match these non-parametric statistical tests with their parametric counterpart by putting the corresponding letter on the line.
algol13

Answer:

  • A. Paired-sample t-test.   ---   Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks T test
  • B. Independent-sample t-test.   ---  Mann-Whitney U test
  • C. One-way ANOVA, independent samples.   ---   Kruskal-Wallis H test
  • D. One-way ANOVA, repeated measures.  ---   Friedman test

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The nonparametric statistics is a branch of statistics, that seeks out the population distribution that is either being distributed freely or specifically.  
  • Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks T-test is a hypothesis test used to compare the two or pre related columns that can be matched and maybe a repeated measure on a single sample.
  • The Mann-Whitney U test is a null hypothesis and states the probability of a random sample of X and Y from the population is greater than the X and that Y is greater than X.
  • Kruskal-Wallis H test is a test of one variance analysis and tests that sample originates from the same distribution.
  • The  Friedman test is used to find treatment across multiple tested attempts. It involves the ranking of the rows and then considering the values of the column.
