What is the solution to the proportion? 5/x = 2/16

Mathematics
1 answer:
mixas84 [53]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

I believe the answer is X=40

Step-by-step explanation:

cross multiply 5*16 = X * 2

Multiply 5*16

80= X*2

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation

80 + -2x = 2x + -2x

Combine like terms

80 + -2x = 0

Add '-80' to each side of the equation.

80 + -80 + -2x = 0 + -80

Combine like terms: 80 + -80 = 0

0 + -2x = 0 + -80

-2x = 0 + -80

Combine like terms: 0 + -80 = -80

-2x = -80

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = 40

Simplifying

x = 40

Hope this helped :)

Factor 2a2b3 - 14ab + 16a
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

2a(b^3 - 7b + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming that 2a2b3 is 2a2b^2. If not, this answer isn't correct.

Look at the whole numbers. Is there a number that divides into them evenly? Yes, 2, so you pull 2 from the problem and divide each number by 2. Do the same for each variable.

2a2b3 - 14ab + 16a

2(ab^3 - 7ab +8a)

2a(b^3 - 7b + 8)

Which point on the scatter plot is an outlier ? I think it's point p but I want to be sure
Scilla [17]
Point P is certainly the outlier because the other points are all consistent with the string of data while Point P is alone with no other data around it.
