5(3x-6)-8(3x-7)

Multiply the first bracket by 5

Multiply the second bracket by -8

15x-30-24x+56

negative number times (*) positive number= negative number

positive number times (*) positive number= positive number

15x-30-24x+56

15x-24x-30+56 ( just rearranging )

-9x+26

Positive +26 because 56 is greater than -30 in this case

Answer is -9x+26

Remember the distributive property? It goes like x(a+b)=xa+xb... For example 3(6+7)=(3*6)+(3*7)=39
Same here
5(3x-6)-8(3x-7)
do the thing
(15x-30)-(24x-56)
Take parentheses off.
15x-30-24x+56
//WHY PLUS 56 NOT MINUS?
//because there was a minus sign outside the original parentheses, so the signs inside have to be flipped when the parentheses is taken off
//Let's simplify now
15x-24x-30+56
-9x+26

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Option B) Margin of error becomes smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

A poll to determine the percentage of adults who gamble at least once a month.

We have to find what happens to the confidence interval as the sample size increases.

Margin of error =

\text{Critical Value}\times \displaystyle\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Confidence interval:

\mu \pm \text{Margin of error}

As the sample size increases, the margin of error decreases.

As the margin of error decreases the width of the confidence interval decreases.

Option B) Margin of error becomes smaller

10points and Brainliest!!! Can anyone explain what Critical Path Analysis' is? Give an example and explain please.
IrinaK [193]
Hey there...
Critical path analysis is a technique that identifies the activities necessary to complete a task, including identifying the time necessary to complete each activity and the relationships between the activities.
I couldn't get an example for it but here are the steps:
1. Divide the project into tasks
2. Estimate tasks
3. Create the network diagram
4. Draw initial Gantt (bar) chart
5. Perform resource levelling
6. Compress the schedule (if necessary).


Hope it helps...

Determine the space (area) needed to build the new track.
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The area needed is 13,000 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total space (area) = area of the square + area of the two half circles

=> Total area = area of square + area of the circle (as adding the two halves makes a complete circle)

i.e \\ total \: area \:  = 51 \times 250 + \pi( {r}^{2} ) \\ total \: area \:  = 12750 + \pi( {25.5}^{2} ) \\ total \: area \:  = 12750+ 251 \\ total \: area \:  = 13000 \: square \: feet
