Hi!

The guess and check method is where we fill in the values and check to see if it is correct. 

A. x = 6
2 · 6 + 8 = 6 · 6 - 12
Solve
12 + 8 = 36 - 12
20 = 24
Incorrect.

B. x = 4
2 · 4 + 8 = 6 · 4 - 12
Solve
8 + 8 = 24 - 12
16 = 12
Incorrect.

C. x = 3
2 · 3 + 8 = 6 · 3 - 12
Solve.
6 + 8 = 18 - 12
14 = 6
Incorrect.

D. x = 5
2 · 5 + 8 = 6 · 5 - 12
Solve.
10 + 8 = 30 - 12
18 = 18
Correct!

The answer is D. x = 5

Hope this helps! :)

A highway map of Ohio has a coordinate grid superimposed on top of the state. Springfield is at point (1, –4) and Columbus is at
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
The midpoint, where the rest area is, will just be the average of the coordinates of Springfield and Columbus.

Rest Area=((1+7)/2, (-4+1)/2)

Rest Area=(4, -1.5)

The distance between the two cities can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem, which used in the manner is often referred to as the "distance" formula between two points.

d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)

d^2=(7-1)^2+(1--4)^2

d^2=36+25

d^2=61

d=√61  and we are told that each unit is equal to 5.38mi so the distance from Springfield to Columbus is:

D=5.38√61 mi

D≈42.02mi  (to nearest hundredth of a mile)

mojhsa [17]
The probability of finding one of the two defective fuses is:
\frac{2C1\times20C3}{22C4}=0.3117
The probability of finding 2 defective fuses is:\frac{2C2\times20C2}{22C4}=0.026
Therefore the probability of rejecting is 0.3117 + 0.026 = 0.3377.
