Answer:

<em>x </em>equals 3.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

A way to solve this equation is to preform the inverse operations on both sides.

1. Add 19 to -19 and 5: 5<em>x </em>+ 6 - 19 + 19 = 5 + 19 ---> 5x + 6 = 24

2. Subtract 6 from 6 and 5: 5x + 6 - 6 = 24 - 6 ---> 5x = 18

3. Divide 5x and 18 by 5: 5x / 5 = 18 / 5 ---> x = 3.6

4. 3.6 is the answer.

To prove it, substitute x with 3.6 in the equation: 5 · 3.6 + 6 - 19 = 5

I hope this made sense and helped you a lot! :)

A circle graph titled Bachelor's Degrees Earned in the United States from 2009 to 2010. 22 percent is business, 10 percent is so

Helga [31]

Answer:

a) 60 graduates

b) Business and social science.

Step-by-step explanation:

In United States, from 2009 to 2010 the Bachelor's Degrees graduates are made up of 22% for business, 10% for social science, 8% is health related, 6% is education and 54% is others. Given that a sample of 1000 college graduates where used,

a) Number of graduates with education degree is equal to 6% of the total college graduates. Therefore:

Number of graduates with education degree = 6% × 1000 = 0.06 × 1000 = 60 graduates

b) Number of graduates with business degree = 22% × 1000 = 0.22 × 1000 = 220 graduates

Number of graduates with social science degree = 10% × 1000 = 0.1 × 1000 = 100 graduates

Number of graduates with health related degree = 8% × 1000 = 0.08 × 1000 = 80 graduates

Number of graduates with other degree = 54% × 1000 = 0.54 × 1000 = 540 graduates

Since Many graduates earn degrees in fields that result in high-paying jobs, the two fields most likely pay more than the others are that of business and social science.

The solution is $x=-1$ and $x=-0.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression is $2x(x+1.5)=-1$

Multiplying the term $x+1.5$ by $2x$ , we get,

$2x^{2} +3x=-1$

Adding both sides by 1,

$2x^{2} +3x+1=0$

Taking factor, we get,

$\begin{array}{r}{x^{2}+2 x+x+1=0} \\{2 x(x+1)+1(x+1)=0} \\{(2 x+1)(x+1)=0}\end{array}$

Equating the factors to 0,

$\begin{aligned}2 x+1 &=0 \\2 x &=-1 \\x &=-\frac{1}{2}\\x&=-0.5\end{aligned}$ and $\begin{aligned}x+1 &=0 \\x &=-1\end{aligned}$

Thus, the smaller value is $x=-1$

The solution is $x=-1$ and $x=-0.5$

The sum of twelve and a number is no greater than the sum of twice the number and -8

krok68 [10]

The sum of 12 and a number
(12 + n)

is no greater
< =

then the sum of twice the number and 8
(2n +(-8)) = (2n - 8)

so we have :
(12 + n) < = (2n - 8)
