What you can do is subtract 1x from each side 
Then you subtract 3 from each side
Then it tells you x=2
Always put what you think x is back into the problem and see if it works out

Example on how you do it:
(x+5)=(2x+3)
5=(x+3)
2=x

Mr. McBride ordered 6 cheese pizzas and 7 pepperoni pizzas and paid $153.50 for his son's birthday party. He realized he was goi
Marat540 [252]

Let x = cost of one cheese pizza.

Let y = cost of one pepperoni pizza.

Set up a system of equations.

6x + 7y = 153.50

2x + 2y = 47.00.

Multiply the second equation by -3

6x + 7y = 153.50

-6x - 6y = -141.00.

Add the equations together

y = $12.00.

Plug 12 into one of our original equations.

2x + 2(12) = 47.

Simplify the left side.

2x + 24 = 47.

Subtract 24 from each side.

2x = 23.

Divide each side by 2

x = $11.50

In conclusion, one pepperoni pizza costs $12.00

Dovator [93]

Complete question:

Assume that different groups of couples use a particular method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby this mention is designed to increase the likelihood that each baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect so the probability of a girl is 0.5. Assume that the group consists of 36 couples.

A) Find the mean and standard deviation for the number of girls in groups of 36 births.

B) Use the range rule of thumb to find the values separating results that are significantly low and significantly high.

C) Is the result of 33 girls significantly high? A result of 33 girls would suggest the method is effective or is not effective?

Answer:

a) mean = 18

Standard deviation =3

b) low range = 12

High range = 24

c) The result of 33 girls is significantly high. Yes, the method is effective.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

p = 0.5

n = 36

a) The mean is the product of n and p

Mean u = np

u = 36 * 0.5 = 18

The standard deviation is the square root of the product of n and p&q.

S.d ó = \sqrt{npq}

= \sqrt{np(1-p)}

= \sqrt{36(0.5)(1-0.5)} = \sqrt{9} = 3

b) To find the range rule of thumb:

• For low range

Low range = u - 2ó

= 18 - (2 * 3)

= 12

• High range

= u + 2ó

= 18 + (2*3)

= 24

c) The result is significantly high, because 33 is greater than 24 girls.

A result of 33 girls would prove the method as effective.
