Solve the equation. Isolate the variable, x.

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, subtract 8 and 10x from both sides:

2x (-10x) + 8 (-8) = 12 (-8) + 10x (-10x)

2x - 10x = 12 - 8

Simplify. Combine like terms:

(2x - 10x) = (12 - 8)

-8x = 4

Isolate the variable, x. Divide -8 from both sides:

(-8x)/-8 = (4)/-8

x = -(4/8)

Simplify:

x = -1/2

-1/2 is your answer for x.

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 438. What is the 2nd number?
denis-greek [22]

First number = x

Second number = x + 2

Third number = x + 4

X + x +2 + x + 4 = 438

Simplify:

3x + 6 = 438

Subtract 3 from both sides

3x = 432

Divide both sides by 3

X = 144

The second number is 144 + 2 = 146

The number of chocolate chips in a bag of chocolate chip cookies is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 1262 chips
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Using z score formula:

X = z ∂ + µ

 = 157.833

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Mean = µ = 1262

Standard deviation = ∂ = 117

(a) 28th percentile for the number of chocolate chip.

P( z < z) = 28%

             = 0.28

P( z<- 0.58)  = 0.28

Z = -0.58

By using z score formula:

Z = x - µ /∂

-0.58= x – 117 / 1262

X = (- 0.58)(117) + (1262)

 =  1194.14

(b) Middle 97% of bag.

P(-z < z < z) = 97%

                    = 0.97

P( z < z) – p(z < -z) = 0.97

2p(z < z) -1 = 0.97

2p (z < z) = 1 + 0.97

P(z < z) = 1.97 / 2

            = 0.99

P(z < 2.33) = 0.99

Z ± 2.33

By using z score formula:

Z = x - µ / ∂

X = z ∂ + µ

  = - 2.33 x 117 + 1262

  =989.39

Z = 2.33

X = z ∂ + µ

  =  2.33 x 117 + 1262

 =1533.61

(c) What is the interquartile range of the number of chocolate chips in a bag of chocolate.

By using standard normal table,

The z dist’n formula:

P(z < z ) = 25%

            =0.25

P(z < -0.6745) = 0.25

Z = 0.6745

Using z score formula:

X = z∂ + µ

   = - 0.6745 x 117 + 1262

  = 1183.0835

First quartile = Q1 =1183.0835

The third quartile is:

P(z<z) = 75%

    = 0.75

P(z < 0.6745) = 0.75

Z = 0.6745

Using z score formula:

X = z ∂ + µ

  = 0.6745 x 117 + 1262

= 1340.9165

IQR = Q3 – Q1

     = 1340.9165 – 1183.0835

  = 157.833

6y/8+12=84<br> What is y<br> How did you get that answer. Pls go step by step
vredina [299]

Answer:

6y/8+12-12=84-12

6y/8=72

8/6*6y/8=72*8/6

y=96

Step-by-step explanation:

first u get rid of the 12 by subtracting it from both side until u get 6y/8 =72. Then to isolate y u have to multiply the reciprocal of 6/8(8/6) by 6y/8, and u do the same thing to the other side. Then when they cancel out each other y would be left to equal 96.
