Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6 = 3x - 9 ( add 9 to both sides )

15 = 3x ( divide both sides by 3 )

5 = x

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

6 = 3x - 9

If you add 9 to both sides 6 + 9 = 3x - 9 + 9. You would get the equation 15 = 3x because adding 9 to both sides cancels out the 9 on the right side of the equation. Then you would divide by 3 on both sides 15/3 = 3x/3 which would give you 5 = x your answer

Answer:

$H_0:\mu = 45$ and $H_a:\mu < 45$

$T = 34.88$

The null hypothesis is not rejected

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Random sample of 50 commuter times

Solving (a): The null and alternate hypothesis

From the question, a previous census shows that:

$\mu =45$ and $\sigma= 9.1$

This is the null hypothesis i.e.

$H_0:\mu = 45$

Reading further, a new test was to show whether the average has decreased.

This is the alternate hypothesis, and it is represented as:

$H_a:\mu < 45$

Solving (b) and (c): The test statistic (T).

This is calculated using:

$T = \frac{\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt n}$

In this case:

$n = 50$ $\mu =45$ and $\sigma= 9.1$

So:

$T = \frac{45}{9.1/\sqrt{50}}$

$T = \frac{45}{9.1/7.07}$

$T = \frac{45}{1.29}$

$T = 34.88$

Solving (c): Accept or reject null hypothesis

$\alpha = 0.05$

First calculate the degrees of freedom (df)

$df = n - 1 = 50 - 1$

$d f = 49$

From the t distribution table,

At: $d f = 49$ , $\alpha = 0.05$ and $T = 34.88$

the t score is:

$p = 1.676$

$p > 0.05$

<em>So, the null hypothesis is not rejected</em>

-8(r-2)=40 what is the answer to this equation

Elena-2011 [213]

The answer is r=-3. You use the distributive property which is basically multiplying -8 with all the numbers inside the parenthesis. So -8 x r and -8 x -2. This results to -8r+16=40 (Two negative numbers multiplied together will form a positive number). We use inverse operations to subtract 16 from both sides. 16-16 is 0 and 40-16 is 24. So we are left with -8r=24. We want to be left with only r, so we once again use inverse operations to divide -8 from both sides. -8/-8 is 1, and 24/-8 is -3. So we end up with r=-3. Hope this helped :]

A cement walkway of uniform width has been built around an in-ground rectangular pool. the area of the walkway is 1344 square fe

Elza [17]

Answer:

6 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of the Pool =80 feet long by 20 feet wide

Area of the walkway =1344 square feet.

If the width of the walkway=w

Length of the Larger Rectangle =80+2w
Width of the Larger Rectangle =20+2w

Area of the Walkway =Area of the Larger Rectangle - Area of the Pool

$1344=(80+2w)(20+2w)-(80*20)\\1344=80*20+160w+40w+4w^2-80*20\\4w^2+200w=1344\\4w^2+200w-1344=0\\We factorize\\4(w^2+50w-336)=0\\4(w^2-6w+56w-336)=0\\w(w-6)+56(w-6)=0\\(w-6)(w+56)=0\\w-6=0$ or $ w+56=0\\w=6$ ft or $ w=-56$ \\Therefore, the width of the walkway , w=6 feet.$
