Britney used commutative property of addition and distributive property of multiplication over addition to get to step

The answer is II and IV ⇒ answer 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic equation is:

3x² - 8 - 10x = 3(2x + 3)

Britney's step is:

3x² - 10 x - 8 = 6x + 9

Lets explain the meaning of:

1. Commutative property of addition is: you can add a and b or b and a

both give the same answer

2. Distributive property of multiplication over addition is: when the

number a is multiplied by the sum of two numbers (b + c), the

first number a can be distributed to both b and c and multiplied

by each of them separately, then adding the two products ab and

ac together for the same result as multiplying the first number a by

the sum (b + c) ⇒ a(b + c) = ab + ac

3. Addition property of equality is: the property that states if you

add the same number to both sides of an equation, the sides

remain equal

4. Multiplication property of equality is: The property that states if

you multiply both sides of an equation by the same number, the

sides remain equal

Now let us explain Britney's step

∵ She change the places of the terms - 10x and - 8

- She arranges the terms of the left hand side from greatest power

of x to the numerical term

∴ She used the commutative property of addition

∵ She multiplied 3 by 2x and multiplied 3 by 3

- She multiplied the number out side the bracket by each of the

two terms in the bracket

∴ She used the distributive property of multiplication over addition

Britney used commutative property of addition and distributive property of multiplication over addition to get to step

The answer is number 4) II and IV

Triangles MNQ and MOP are similar. What is the slope of segment MO?

asambeis [7]

Answer:

D. 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is 1/2 from OP / NQ = 1/2. Because of that, MQ is equal to half of MP and QP is equal to half of MP. Therefore, QP = MQ = 2. The slope of MO is rise over run which is 6 / 4 or 3 / 2.

Answer:

Hi your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer : p ( X < 725 ) = 0.0116

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Average life of bulbs (μ ) = 750 hours

standard deviation (б ) = 55 hours

n ( sample size ) = 25

X = 725

<u>Probability that the mean life of a random sample of 25 bulbs will be less than725 hours </u>

p ( X < 725 ) = p (( X - μ )/ б √n < 725 - 750 / 55√25 )

= P ( Z > - 2.27 )

Hence P ( X < 725 ) = 0.0116 ( using Z-table )

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The significance level is $\alpha=0.01$ and since we are conducting a right tailed test we need to find a critical value who accumulate 0.01 of the area in the right of the normal standard distribution and we got:

$z_{\alpha/2}= 2.326$

So we reject the null hypothesis is $z>2.326$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X as the number of entry-level swimmers and we are interested about the true population mean for this variable . On specific we want to test this:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 15$
