12 - x = 20 - 5x

You see that -x and -5x both have an 'x' variable? This means they are 'like' terms. To get -x to the other side, we must add (if like terms are on opposite sides, do the opposite of what the sign says, e.g. - will be +)

12 = 20 - 4x

Now move 20 to the other side. Remember, do the opposite! Since 20 is positive, we must minus 20 to the other side.

-8 = -4x

To get x by itself, you will need to get rid of the coefficient of -4. -4x basically means -4 times x, so the opposite of that would be divide! Divide by -4

2 = x (Since both sides have a negative, they cancel out to give a positive)
x = 2

Answer:

Andrew

Step-by-step explanation:

Abby:

Since red cards are negative, a red 9 would represent the number -9. And because black cards are positive, a black 6 would represent the number 6. To get the sum, we add the two numbers together:

-9 + 6

That gives us a total of -3.

Ashley:

We can do the same thing as before. A black seven would represent 7 and a red 8 would represent -8. Next we again add them together:

7 + (-8)

That gives us a total of -1.

Andrew:

The red 4 is -4, while the black 4 is 4:

-4 + 4

That gives us a total of 0.

Anna:

Anna has a red 8 which represents -8 and another red, a three, which would represent -3. We can add the two to get:

-8 + (-3)

That gives us a total of -11.

In all, Andrew has the highest sum of 0, which means he won the game.

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypothesis test about a population mean is done to evaluate two exclusive statements about a population in order to determine which is best supported by the sample data.

From the situations given, the correct options are

b. A recent study estimated that 20% of all college students in the United States smoke. The head of Health Services at Goodheart University suspects that the proportion of smokers may be lower there. This would require taking a sample and determining the probability of success.

c. A certain prescription allergy medicine is suppose to contain an average of 245 parts per million (ppm) of active ingredient. The manufacturer wants to check whether the mean concentration in a large shipment of pills is 245 ppm or not.
