Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for x, we must isolate x on one side of the equation.

x+3x+5=21

First, combine like terms. x and 3x are both terms with variables, and can be combined.

(x+3x) + 5=21

4x + 5=21

5 is being added to 4x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.

4x+5-5= 21-5

4x= 16

x is being multiplied by 4. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4=16/4

x= 16/4

x=4

Let's check our solution. Plug 4 in for x and solve.

x+3x+5=21

4+3(4)+5=21

4+12+5=21

16+5=21

21=21

This solution checks out, so we know our answer is correct.

x is equal to 4, x=4.

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3x + 5 = 21

4x + 5 = 21

4x = 21 - 5

4x = 16

x = 16/4

x = 4

verify:

4 + 3*4 + 5 = 21

4 + 12 + 5 = 21

Sedaia [141]
False. You can find the solution more quickly by solving the system algebraically.

-4x + 2y = 18

Since y=-3x+4,
-4x + 2(-3x+4) = 18
-4x - 6x + 8 = 18
-10x = 10
x = -1
y = -3x+4 = 7

A normally distributed data set has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 2. Which of the following is closest to the percent
frutty [35]

A normally distributed data set has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 2. The closest to the percent of values between -4.0 and 2.0 would be 84%.

<h3>What is the empirical rule?</h3>

According to the empirical rule, also known as the 68-95-99.7 rule, the percentage of values that lie within an interval with 68%, 95%, and 99.7% of the values lies within one, two, or three standard deviations of the mean of the distribution.

P(\mu - \sigma < X < \mu + \sigma)  \approx 68\%\\P(\mu - 2\sigma < X < \mu + 2\sigma)  \approx 95\%\\P(\mu - 3\sigma < X < \mu + 3\sigma)  \approx 99.7\%

A normally distributed data set has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 2.

Z=(x-\mu)/\sigma

P(x=-0.4)\\\\z=(-0.4-0)/2\\\\= -0.2\\\\P(x=2)\\z=(2-0)/2\\\\=1

P(-0.4 < x < 2)=p(-0.2 < z < 1)=p(-0.2 < z < 0)+p(0 < z < 1)……….(by symmetry)

=.49865+.3413

.83995…….(by (http://83995…….by) table value)

=.8400 × 100

=84%

if you multply two decimals that are less than 1 , can you predict whether the product will be less than or greater than either
nekit [7.7K]
Yes.  Multiplying anything by a number less than one will decrease the original number.  So multiplying two decimals will result in a number less than either one.
