To start the problem, you will want to move the numbers with variables and the ones without to the other side, then combine them together so that there is only one thing on each side. Then divide on both sides by the variable's coefficient and you will get your answer. Here is it done for the 1st problem.
5n - 14 = 8n + 4 \\ 5n - 14 - 5n = 8n + 4 - 5n \\  - 14 = 3n + 4 \\  - 14 - 4 = 3n + 4 - 4 \\  - 18 = 3n \\  \frac{3}{3} n =   \frac{ - 18}{6}  \\ n =  - 6
For the second one you will want to start by simplifying everything on both sides since you can combine the constants (numbers without any variables). It should look like this:
- 15 + 4 - 5a =  - 2 + 26 + 30a \\  - 11 - 5a = 24 + 30a
What you can do from here is push constants to one side and variables to the other like before. Here is how it would look:
- 11 - 5a = 24 + 30a \\  - 11 - 5a - 24 = 24 - 24 + 30a \\  - 35 - 5a = 30a \\  - 35 - 5a + 5a = 30a + 5a \\  - 35 = 35a
Once there is only one thing on both side, you can divide both sides by the coefficient (the number attached to a variable) to get the variable alone.
35a =  - 35 \\  \frac{35}{35} a =  \frac{ - 35}{35}  \\ a =  - 1
Thus, a is equal to -1.

For the third problem, it is more of the same type of problem that we have done before. Since there are no multiples of anything (variables or constants) on each side, we can start pushing variables to one side and constants to the others like so:
- 8x + 25 = 3 - 9x \\   - 8x + 9x  + 25 = 3 - 9x + 9x \\ x + 25 = 3 \\ x + 25 - 25 = 3  - 25 \\ x =  - 22
Since x's coefficient is 1, there is no need to divide and your answer is -22.

First example:

Subtract the 8n on both sides to get the variable on one side of the equation. Do the same for the regular numbers. Then divide by -3.

5n-14=8n+4\\ \\ 5n-8n=4+14 \\ \\ -3n=18\\ \\ n=-6

This should be your final answer.

Second Example:

Do the same thing as explained in Example 1. Here's some work to help guide you.

-15 - 5a + 4 = -2 + 30a + 26\\ \\ -5a-30a=-2+26+15\\ \\ -35a=39\\ \\ a = \frac{39}{-35}

That should be your final answer here.

Third Example:

3 - 9x = -8x + 25\\ \\ -9x+8x=25-3\\ \\ -x=22\\ \\ x=-22

Hope this helps and its understandable! Let me know if you still don't understand.

Which of the following statements are true of the
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

B, D, and E.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The system has infinitely many solutions. This is wrong because according to the graph, there is only one solution- where the lines intersect. This would only be true if the lines never intersected.

B) A solution to the system is (-1, -2). This is true because this is the only point where the lines intersect.

C) A solution to the system is (0, -1). Since these aren't parabolas and the one above is true, we can say this is false. Also, the lines don't intersect at (0, -1).

D) One of the equations is y=x-1. This is true because the y-intercept for the red line is -1 and the slope of the equation is 1. You can also find this out by directly solving for the equation.

E) One of the equations is 3x+y=-5. If you put this into slope-intercept form, you will find out that the equation is y=-3x-5. This is true because the y-intercept of this is -5 and the slope of this is -3.

SSHA scores Here are the scores on the Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) for 18 first-year college women:154 109 137 1
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Women has better study habit than men.

Step-by-step explanation:

For knowing who has better study habits and attitudes toward learning we have to find the mean of both the women and men data.

The first step is that we only take first 18 values of both women(X) and men(Y) data, to make them of same length

Mean is used to measure the central tendency of data which represents the whole data in the best way. It can be found as the ratio of the sum of all the observations to the total number of observations.  

Calculating all values:

\bar{X} = 141.0556

\bar{Y} = 121.25

Thus, women has better study habit than men. Since Mean of X is larger than Mean of Y.

PRECALC HELP<br> please help with the image above (translation up and down)
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

fourth option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) then f(x + a) represents a horizontal translation of f(x)

• If a > 0 then a shift left of a units

• If a < 0 then a shift right of a units

Thus

f(x) = (x - 11)³ ← has been translated right by 11 units

Given f(x) then f(x) + c represents a vertical translation of f(x)

• If c > 0 then a shift up of c units

• If c < 0 then a shift down of c units

Thus

f(x) = (x - 11)³ + 4

represents a translation 11 units right and 4 units up
