<span>3b + 2(b − 1) = 8
3b + 2b - 2 = 8
5b = 10
b = 2

answer b = 2</span>

So to start out the equation, you would have to distribute the 2 to the numbers and letters in the parenthesis. This should get me to:3b+2b-2=8. Add 2 on both sides of the equation and add up like terms. Now the equation looks like this: 5b=10. Now divide 5 to both sides which should give you b. b=2 I hope this helps you!

Simplify the expression

asambeis [7]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

given

- 4x²(3x - 7)

multiply each term in the parenthesis by - 4x²

= (-4x² × 3x) + ( - 4x² × - 7)

= - 12x³ + 28x² → B

Write the equation in slope-intercept form.

Y - 11 = 3(x + 4)....distribute thru the parenthesis
y - 11 = 3x + 12....add 11 to both sides
y = 3x + 12 + 11...simplify
y = 3x + 23 <==

The height, in inches, of a randomly chosen American woman is a normal random variable with mean μ = 64 and variance 2 = 7.84. (

Schach [20]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the height in inches, of a randomly chosen American woman is a normal random variable with mean μ = 64 and variance 2 = 7.84.

X is N(64, 2.8)

Or Z = $\frac{x-64}{2.8}$

a) the probability that the height of a randomly chosen woman is between 59.8 and 68.2 inches.

$=P(59.8$

b) $P(X\geq 59)\\= P(X\geq -1.78)\\ \\=0.9625$

c) For 4 women to be height 260 inches is equivalent to

4x will be normal with mean (64*4) and std dev (2.8*4)

4x is N(266, 11.2)

$P(4x>260)= \\P(Z\geq -0.53571)\\=0.7054$

d) Z is N(0,1)

E(Z19) = $P(Z>19)\\= 0.000$

since normal distribution is maximum only between 3 std deviations form the mean on either side.

What is the difference between the yearly wages of the highest paying job and lowest paying job, assuming Araceli will be paid f

tigry1 [53]

-> 40 hours per week, 52 weeks a year

<u>shop and save grocers</u>

monthly wages: $3,800

hourly wages: $3800 / 160 = $23.75 per hour

yearly wages: $23.75 per hour x 40 hours per week x 52 weeks a year

= $49,400

<u>unbelievable toys</u>

yearly wages: $43,000

<u>convenience store</u>

$16.50 per hour x 40 hours per week x 52 weeks a year

= $34,320

49,400 - 34,320 = 15,080

..? that's not even an answer choice what-
