Two-Step Equations 2/5x−3=−17

Mathematics

Answer:

x = -35

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Add 3 to each side, so it now looks like this: 2/5x = -14
  2. Divide each side by 2/5 to cancel out the 2/5 next to x. It should now look like this: x = -35

I hope this helps!

Answer:

x =-35

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5x−3=−17

Add 3 to each side

2/5x−3+3=−17+3

2/5x = -14

Multiply each side by 5/2

5/2 * 2/5x = -14 * 5/2

x = -35

Which equation is equivalent to 3[x + 3(4x – 5)] = 15x – 24?
makkiz [27]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = 7/8

Discussion:

3[x + 3(4x – 5)] = 15x – 24 =>

3x + (3*3)(4x-5) = 15x - 24  =>

3x + 9*(4x) - (3*3)*5 = 15x - 24 =>

3x + 36x  - 45 = 15x - 24  =>   (add 24 to each side)

3x + 36x - 45 + 45 = 15x - 24 + 45 =>

39x = 15x + 21  =>                    (as 45-24 = 21)

39x-15x = 21 =>                        (subtract 15x from both sides)

24x = 21 =>

x = 21/24 = -7/8

Four families went out for lunch. The total food
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Each family spent about 34.25 on dinner

Step-by-step explanation:

$167 - $30 (tip) = 137

137 ÷  4 (for each family) = 34.25

BUT

if each family is seperate than they each spent about 11.75 on dinner

167 - (30 x 4) = 47

47 ÷  4 = 11.75

I'm pretty sure the first one is the answer though

College freshmen took a psychology exam. If the mean is 80, the SD is 10, and the scores have normal distribution, what percent
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

  (a)  2%

Step-by-step explanation:

A score of 60 is 2 standard deviations below the mean (80 -2·10 = 60). The empirical rule tells you that 95% of the distribution is within 2 standard deviations of the mean. The remaining 5% is split evenly between those that are more than 2 SD above the mean and those that are more than 2 SD below the mean.

That tells you the percentage who failed is about 2.5%. The best answer choice is 2%.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The empirical rule is a little bit sloppy, but it gets you in the ballpark. The actual percentage is closer to 2.275%.
