Remember you can do anything to an equation or inequality as long as ou do it to both sides
also, when multiplying by a negative number in an inequality, don't forget to flip the sign
5+5(x+4)<20
minus 5 from both sides
5(x+4)<15
divide both sides by 5
x+4<3
minus 4 from both sides
x<-1
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Here is our equation
3x - 4 (2x - 5) = 15
First, we will sue the distributive property to remove the parentheses. The term outside the parentheses is -4, so that is what we multiply the insides by.
3x-8x+20=15
We combine our like terms (our x-values).
-5x+20=15
We subtract 20 from both sides.
-5x=-5
We divide both sides by -5.
x=1
Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
Answer:
option (D) 16.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided:
Sleep time of , X = 15.9 is at the 10th percentile
Standard deviation, σ = 0.5 hour
also,
10th percentile of normal distribution is
Z = F⁻¹(0.10)
or
Z = - 1.28 (Using Standard Normal distribution)
Now,
or
X = μ + ( σ × Z )
or
μ = X - ( σ × Z )
on substituting the respective values, we get
μ = 15.9 - 0.5 × (-1.28)
or
μ = 16.5
Hence, the correct answer is option (D) 16.5
Answer:
(-3,-8)
Step-by-step explanation:
okay so what we can do here is elimination
we can do this first by multiplying the entire second equation by 2
so then it would become
2(5x-2y=1)
10x-4y=2
now we can add the two equations together which will eliminate y
so
-8x+4y=-8 plus
10x-4y=2 equals
2x=-6
we did that by combining like terms
next we can simplify that
x=-3
now we can plug that into the equation
-8(-3)+4y=-8
simplify
24+4y=-8
4y=-32
y=-8
our answer would be
(-3,-8)
