Answer:
(8 * x) + 2x = 60
8x + 2x = 60
10x = 60
/10 /10
x = 6
8 is a constant that is being multiplied by an unknown number which we will name x. It is then being added to two times the unknown number(x), so we multiply x by 2, which is 2x. The final product will be 60, so in the equation it'll then equal 60.
We consider "a number" to be a variable that withholds an unknown value, which is x (or any other variable you prefer).
A. False
B. True
C. False
D. True

86.9
General formula for a simple linear regression :
y = ab + c
Where ;
y = predicted variable ; a = slope / gradient
b = predictor / independent variable ; c = intercept
From the result obtained from the calculator :
y = -0.01246X + 74.65552
Correlation Coefficient is used to measure the strength of relationship between linear variables.
The regression Coefficient obtained is - 0.20
This shows that there is a weak negative correlation between the age at auction and the price at which painting is sold. This is because the negative sign means that value of y decreases as x increases or vice versa, however, due to a correlation vale which is closer to 0 than 1 or - 1, we can conclude that the negative relationship between the variables is weak.
