Answer: x = -8

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for <em>x</em> in this equation, our first task is to simplify the left side by distributing the 12 through both terms inside the parentheses.

When we do that, we get 12 times x which is

12x and 12 times 10 which is 120.

So we have 12x + 120 = 24.

Our next task is to isolate the x term by subtracting 120 from both sides of the equation. On the left, 120 - 120 cancels and we're left with 12x. On the right, 24 - 120 simplifies to -96 so we have 12x = -96.

To get <em>x</em> by itself, we divide both sides by 12 and <em>x = -8</em>.

The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 266 days and a standard deviation of 15 days.

inessss [21]

The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 266 days and a standard deviation of 15 days.

That is,

Consider X be the length of the pregnancy

Mean and standard deviation of the length of the pregnancy.

Mean $\mu =266\\$

Standard deviation \sigma =15

For part (a) , to find the probability of a pregnancy lasting 308 days or longer:

That is, to find $P(X\geq 308)$

Using normal distribution,

$z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

$z=\frac{308-266}{15}$

$=\frac{42}{15}$

Thus $z=2.8$

So $P\left (X\geq 308 \right )=1-P(X$

$=1-P(z$

$=1-Table\: value\: of\: 2.8$

$=1-0.99744$

$=0.00256$

Thus the probability of a pregnancy lasting 308 days or longer is given by 0.00256.

This the answer for part(a): 0.00256

For part(b), to find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature.

Given that the length of pregnancy is in the lowest 3%.

The z-value for the lowest of 3% is -1.8808

Then $X=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\Rightarrow X=z*\sigma+\mu$

This implies $X=-1.8808*15+266=237.788$

Thus the babies who are born on or before 238 days are considered to be premature.

What is the area of this triangle expressed as a monomial? height is 9x width is 6x

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The area of triangle expressed as a monomial is $27x^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a triangle is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$

In this problem we have

$h=9x\ units$

$b=6x\ units$

substitute

$A=\frac{1}{2}(6x)(9x)=27x^{2}\ units^{2}$
