Answer:

-2 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set the larger number to x, and the smaller to y. With these, we can set up our equations.

x = 2y + 8

x + y = 3x - 10

Now, we put the value of x into the second equation.

2y + 8 + y = 3(2y + 8) - 10

Now we can solve for y

3y + 8 = 6y + 24 - 10

3y + 8 = 6y + 14

8 = 3y + 14

-6 = 3y

-2 = y

Now that we have the smaller number, we can put it into the first equation and solve for the larger.

x = 2*-2 + 8

x = -4 + 8

x = 4

So your two numbers are -2 and 4.

Suppose a simple random sample of size nequals36 is obtained from a population with mu equals 74 and sigma equals 6. ​(a) Descri
OlgaM077 [116]

Part a)

The simple random sample of size n=36 is obtained from a population with

\mu = 74

and

\sigma = 6

The sampling distribution of the sample means has a mean that is equal to mean of the population the sample has been drawn from.

Therefore the sampling distribution has a mean of

\mu = 74

The standard error of the means becomes the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.

\sigma_ { \bar X }  =  \frac{ \sigma}{ \sqrt{n} }  \\ \sigma_ { \bar X }  =  \frac{ 6}{ \sqrt{36} }  = 1

Part b) We want to find

P(\bar X \:>\:75.9)

We need to convert to z-score.

P(\bar X \:>\:75.9)  = P(z \:>\: \frac{75.9 - 74}{1} )  \\  = P(z \:>\: \frac{75.9 - 74}{1} ) \\  = P(z \:>\: 1.9) \\  = 0.0287

Part c)

We want to find

P(\bar X \: < \:71.95)

We convert to z-score and use the normal distribution table to find the corresponding area.

P(\bar X \: < \:71.95)  = P(z \: < \: \frac{71.9 5- 74}{1} )  \\  = P(z \: < \: \frac{71.9 5- 74}{1} ) \\  = P(z \: < \:  - 2.05) \\  = 0.0202

Part d)

We want to find :

P(73\:

We convert to z-scores and again use the standard normal distribution table.

P( \frac{73 - 74}{1} \:< \: z

Solve graphically the inequality \[ x ≥ 2 \]
Xelga [282]

1) Graph the corresponding equation \( x = 2 \); this will split the plane into two regions. One of the region represents the solution set.

2) Select a point situated in any of the two regions obtained and test the inequality. If the point selected is a solution, then all the region is the solution set. If the selected point is not a solution, then the other (second) region represents the solution set.

3) Test: In this example, let us for example select the point with coordinates (3 , 2) which is in the region to the right of the line x = 2. If you substitute x in the inequality \( x ≥ 2 \) by 3 it becomes \( 3 ≥ 2 \) which is a true statement and therefore (3 , 2) is a solution. Hence, we can conclude that the region to the right of the vertical line x = 2 is a solution set including the line itself which is shown as a solid line because of the inequality symbol \( ≥ \) contains the \( = \) symbol. The solution set is represented by the blue hash region in the graph below including the line x = 2.

Please help, I have an algebra test tomorrow and i'm trying to understand problems like this.
Sonja [21]

Answer:

L=P/2-W

Step-by-step explanation:

P=2(L+w) - Solve for L

1) Use the distributive property on the right side of the equation:

P=2L+2w

2) Subtract both sides by 2w:

P-2w=2L

3) Divide both sides by 2 to Isolate L:

P/2-W=L

<span>Angle 7 and 5 are vertical angles, so they're equal. Angles 7 and 8 are supplementary, so they have to add up to 180. 2x + 15 + 3x = 180 Solve for x, then plug it into the expression for angle 7 to get you answer</span>
