How to solve for x 5x-8=18+4,for x=6

lbvjy [14]

Hey there,

Question : How to solve for x 5x-8=18+4,for x=6

Answer :
5x - 8 = 18 + 4
5(6) - 8 = 18 + 4
30 - 8 = 18 + 4
22 = 22
Thus we can say that 6x = 30
6x = 30
x = 30 / 6
= 5

Hope this helps :))

a bag contains 60 marbles, some blue and some green. the ratio of blue marbles to green ones is 1:5. how many blue marbles are t

olga55 [171]

Hello!

For every 1 blue marble there are 5 greens

You add the numbers in the ratio

1 + 5 = 6

Divide this number from the amount of marbles

60 / 6 = 10

Multiply the ratio by this

1 * 10 = 10

5 * 10 = 50

There are 10 blue marbles and 50 green ones

The answer is 10

Hope this helps!

In supply (and demand) problems, y is the number of items the supplier will produce (or the public will buy) if the price of the

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

A) (17 ; 550)

B) $17/item

C) 550

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must calculate the intersection point of the two lines. Since in that point y has the same value in both equations, we can obtain x by equalling the two equations and then using that value for obtaining y:

$5x+465=-6x+652\\5x+6x=652-465\\11x=187\\x=\frac{187}{11}\\x=17$

So the value of x in the intersection point is 17. We now use this value with either one of the equations to obtain y. Let's use the supply equation:

$y=5*17+465\\y=550$

So the intersection point is (17 ; 550)

Supply and demand are in equilibrium when the amount of items on supply are the same as the ones on demand. That is the point were the two lines intersect, which means the selling price is the x coordinate and the amount of items is the y coordinate, so that is a selling price of $17/item with a number of items of 550.

Robert plans to make a box-and-whisker plot of the following set of data. 27, 14, 46, 38, 32, 18, 21 Which of the following shou

Simora [160]

To make a box and whisker plot, you need to draw a number line that would be able to represent all the values in the data (look at your lowest and highest numbers).

You will need to graph the following 5 points on your number line (median, lower quartile, lower extreme, upper quartile, and upper extreme).

Create a box around the quartiles and extend the lines to the extremes.
See the picture I have attached for the box and whisker box for this data set.
