Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 8(- x - 7) = 120 ( divide both sides by - 8 )

- x - 7 = - 15 ( add 7 to both sides )

- x = - 8 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = 8

What's the difference between adding two rational number and get a negative number

nikklg [1K]

Comparing two rational numbers

Use fraction form:

Make the denominators the same and compare the numerators. The number with the smaller numerator is smaller. For example, to compare a/b and c/d, we rewrite

a/b=a*d/b*d

= ad/bd and c/d = c*b/d*b=bc/bd

Now just compare the numerators : "ad" and "bc"

Multiplying and Dividing Rational Numbers

Multiplying and dividing rational numbers in decimal form is the same as multiplying and dividing integers. The decimal place of the product is the same of all decimals of all multiplied numbers. For example, 3.12*2.4.

Solution => 3.12*2.4=7.488

When multiplying or dividing rational numbers in fractional form, you multiply the numerators (N*N) and then multiply the denominators (D*D).

When dividing rational numbers in fractional form, first take the reciprocal of the divisor, and then multiply the numerators and the denominators.

Example => 5/9 divided by 2/7 .

Solution => 5/9 * 7/2 = 35/18

Adding Rational numbers

Adding and Subtracting rational numbers in decimal form is the same as adding and subtracting integers.

Example => -3.54+2.79=-0.75

When adding or subtracting rational numbers in fractional form, first make the denominator equal, and then add or subtract the numerators.

4) 8(-2 + 2n) + 3n = 40 +5n

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

use the distributive property to distribute the 8

-16+16n+3n=40+5n

-16+19n=40+5n

-16=40+5n-19n

-16=40-14n

-14n+40= -16

-14n= -16-40

-14n= -56

n= -56/-14

n= 4

Alla [95]

Answer:

The point estimate for this problem is 0.48.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a University wanted to find out the percentage of students who felt comfortable reporting cheating by their fellow students.

A survey of 2,800 students was conducted and the students were asked if they felt comfortable reporting cheating by their fellow students. The results were 1,344 answered "Yes" and 1,456 answered "no".

Let $\hat p$ = proportion of students who felt comfortable reporting cheating by their fellow students

Now, point estimate ( $\hat p$ ) is calculated as;

$\hat p=\frac{X}{n}$

where, X = number of students who answered yes = 1,344

n = number of students surveyed = 2,800

So, Point estimate ( $\hat p$ ) = $\frac{1,344}{2,800}$

= 0.48 or 48%

Jack collected 1350 pounds of waste paper for recycling today. If he decided to collect 24% more pounds of waste paper tomorrow,

miv72 [106K]

324 pounds

24% = $\frac{24}{100}$ = 0.24

0.24 × 1350 = 324 pounds

He should collect 324 more pounds of waste paper

Priscilla invests $10,000 in an account that compounds interest continuously and earns 11%. How long will it take for her money

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When the interest compounds continuously, our formula is

$A(t)=Pe^{rt}$

If we start with 10000 and are looking for how long, t, it takes to double, we are looking for how long it will take for our account to have 2 times 10000. That's 20000. Therefore, our equation is

$20000=10000e^{.11t}$
