Answer:

So we can write an equation to solve this:

12/100 = 36/x

And then we are going to solve for x

x(12/100) = 36

36 x (100/12) = 300

The total number of candy bars was 300

Just want to double check our answer.

0 divided by 2 is 0.

You can use the multiplicative identity property: the product of any number and zero is still zero.

Hope this helped :)

Complete the equivalent equation for -7x-60 =x^2 +10x

alex41 [277]

Answer:

(x+12)(x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula use: a²+bx+c

Make one side equal to zero:

Original:

-7x-60 =x² +10x

New:

x² + 17x + 60

Multiply A with C

New:

(1)x x 60 = 60

Find factors of 60 that when added, equal to 17.

New:

10 × 6, 60 × 1, 20 × 3, <u>5 × 12</u>, 4 × 15

5 times 12 equal 60, but when added equal to 17.

Replace the 17 with 5 and 12

New:

x² + 5x + 12x + 60

Break them off into two equations

New:

x² + 5x l 12x + 60

Divide each equation into it's simpilest form. Make sure the numbers in the ( ) are the same.

New:

x(x + 5) l +12(x+5)

Answer: (x+12)(x+5)

An education firm measures the high school dropout rate as the percentage of 16 to 24 year olds who are not enrolled in school a

posledela

Answer:

The value of the test statistic $z = -0.6606$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The high dropout rate is $\mu = 6.1$ % $= 0.061$

The sample size is $n = 1000$

The number of dropouts $x = 56$

The probability of having a dropout in 1000 people $\= x = \frac{56}{1000} = 0.056$

Now setting up Test Hypothesis

Null $H_o : p = 0.061$

Alternative $H_a : p < 0.061$

The Test statistics is mathematically represented as

$z = \frac{\= x - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1 -p)}{n} } }$

substituting values

$z = \frac{0.056 - 0.061}{\sqrt{\frac{0.061(1 -0.061)}{1000} } }$

$z = -0.6606$

What is the area of a rectangle with side lenghts 3x+2 and x-4

melamori03 [73]

For a rectangle, A = LW.

A = (3x + 2)(x - 4)

A = 3x^2 - 12x + 2x - 8

A = 3x^2 -10x - 8
