Answer:

b = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start with either inequality, then add the required amount to make it look like the other one.

___

Starting with x > -21

x > -21

x + 7 > -14 . . . . . add 7 to both sides

b = 7 . . . . . . . . . compare to the form x + b > -14

___

Starting with x + b > -14

x + b > -14

x + b -7 > -21 . . . add -7 to both sides

b -7 = 0 . . . . . . compare to the form x > -21. 0 is added to x.

b = 7 . . . . . . . . add 7 to both sides

Can you help me to solve this

Answer:

$\frac{4a-2}{2a+1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorise the numerator and denominator

8a² - 2 ← factor out 2 from each term

= 2(4a² - 1) ← 4a² - 1 is a difference of squares

= 2(2a - 1)(2a + 1)

4a² + 4a + 1 ← is a perfect square

= (2a + 1)²

Thus

$\frac{8a^2-2}{4a^2+4a+1}$

= $\frac{2(2a-1)(2a+1)}{(2a+1)(2a+1)}$ ← cancel (2a + 1) on numerator/ denominator

= $\frac{2(2a-1)}{2a+1}$

= $\frac{4a-2}{2a+1}$

The SAT mathematics scores in the state of Florida are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard devi

Yanka [14]

The interval $(300,700)$ corresponds to the part of the distribution lying within 2 standard deviations of the mean (since 500-2*100=300 and 500+2*100=700). The empirical rule states that approximately 95% of the distribution is expected to fall in this range.
