Answer:

Option A is correct

equation 2(x+14)=42 could be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length of a rectangle (l) is 14 inches and perimeter of rectangle is 42 inches.

Perimeter(P)of a rectangle in inches is given by:

P= (2l+w) ; where l  is the length of the rectangle and w is the width of the rectangle.

Substitute the value of  P=42 inches , w =x inches and l = 14 inches in the above formula we get;

42 = 2 \cdot (14+x)

Divide by 2 on both sides  we get;

21 = 14+x

On simplify, we get;

x = 21-14 = 7 inches

therefore, the width of the rectangle is, x = 7 inches

Check :

Substitute the value of x =7 in option A.

2(x+14) =42

2(7+14)=42

2\cdot 21 =42

42 = 42      

Hence, the only equation that could be used to find the width, x is,  2(x + 14) = 42

A. 2(x+14) = 42

(2x = 14
  x = 7

2(7) + 2(14) = 14 + 28 = 42)

Fiona recorded the mean math exam grade for six random samples of students from the entire seventh-grade class. Sample Sample Me
Charra [1.4K]

The reason why Fiona cannot make a valid prediction based on the mean of the population is that the variation of Fiona’s samples is too large.

<h3>Why can't Fiona use the means she recorded?</h3><h3 />

Mean is quite sensitive to outliers so it is best used when the variation between variables is not too much.

In Fiona's case, there variation is quite high with high variable of 95 compared to a low value of 45.
