4(x + 7) = 38
Since there is no operation sign between the 4 and parenthesis, it makes it an automatic multiplication problem.
You would use distributive property to multiply each which should leave your equation looking like this afterwards:
4x + 28 = 38
(4 times x and 4 times 7)
You would then solve it like a two step equation,
1. +28 - 28 = 0
2. 38 - 28 = 10
4x = 10
10 divided by 4 = 2.5
x = 2.5
We can recheck our work by substituting in the value of x.
4(2.5 + 7) = 38
10 + 28 = 38
When we substituted in the value, it gave us the correct inequality.
Therefore,
x = 2.5
Answer:
117 pages
Step-by-step explanation:
114 + 3 = x
x = 117
Answer:
Systolic on right

Systolic on left

So for this case we have more variation for the data of systolic on left compared to the data systolic on right but the difference is not big since 0.170-0.147 = 0.023.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the following data:
Systolic (#'s on right) Diastolic (#'s on left)
117; 80
126; 77
158; 76
96; 51
157; 90
122; 89
116; 60
134; 64
127; 72
122; 83
The coefficient of variation is defined as " a statistical measure of the dispersion of data points in a data series around the mean" and is defined as:

And the best estimator is 
Systolic on right
We can calculate the mean and deviation with the following formulas:
[te]\bar x = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}[/tex]

For this case we have the following values:

So then the coeffcient of variation is given by:

Systolic on left
For this case we have the following values:

So then the coeffcient of variation is given by:

So for this case we have more variation for the data of systolic on left compared to the data systolic on right but the difference is not big since 0.170-0.147 = 0.023.
Answer:
1) 2(t - 7)(t + 1)
2) $32,000
Step-by-step explanation:
v(t) = 2t² - 12t - 14
v(t) = 2(t² - 6t - 7) = 2(t - 7)(t + 1)
x = -b/2a = 6/2 = 3
y = 2(3)² - 12(3) - 14 = -32
(3, -32) means at 3 months, -32 thousand dollars
