The first step to solving this is to multiply both sides of the equation by 3
8 + 10y = 9y - 12
now move the variable to the left side and change its sign
8 + 10y - 9y = -12
move the constant to the right side and change its sign
10y - 9y = -12 - 8
collect the like terms for y
y = -12 - 8 (it equals 1 when you subtract 10 from 9 which is the same is simply saying "y")
calculate the difference on the other side of the equals sign
y = -20
this means that the correct answer to your question is -20.
let me know if you have any further questions

Each item produced by a certain manufacturer is independently of acceptable quality with probability 0.95. Approximate the proba

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

The probability that at most 10 of the next 150 items produced are unacceptable is 0.8315.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of items with unacceptable quality.

The probability of an item being unacceptable is, P (X) = p = 0.05.

The sample of items selected is of size, n = 150.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 150 and p = 0.05.

According to the Central limit theorem, if a sample of large size (n > 30) is selected from an unknown population then the sampling distribution of sample mean can be approximated by the Normal distribution.

The mean of this sampling distribution is: $\mu_{\hat p}= p=0.05$

The standard deviation of this sampling distribution is: $\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{ p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.05(1-.0.05)}{150} }=0.0178$

If 10 of the 150 items produced are unacceptable then the probability of this event is:

$\hat p=\frac{10}{150}=0.067$

Compute the value of $P(\hat p\leq 0.067)$ as follows:

$P(\hat p\leq 0.067)=P(\frac{\hat p-\mu_{p}}{\sigma_{p}} \leq\frac{0.067-0.05}{0.0178})=P(Z\leq 0.96)=0.8315$

*Use a z-table for the probability.

Thus, the probability that at most 10 of the next 150 items produced are unacceptable is 0.8315.

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 52 yards. The length is 4 more yards than the width. Find the length and width of the fi

hichkok12 [17]

:) Brainliest pls?

Answer:

Width = 11 yards

Length = 15 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2(l + w)

Consider the width to be x.

The length would then be x+4.

We know that P = 52 yd

52 = 2(x + x + 4)

52 = 2(2x + 4)

52 = 4x + 8 (Subtract 8 from both sides)

44 = 4x (Divide both sides by 4)

x = 11

The width is x, so the width is 11 yards.

The length is x+4, so the length is 15 yards.

Peak Industries saw a 20% increase in activity levels over the fourth quarter. Which of the following changes should the firm ex

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

B : a 20% increase in variable costs

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the industry is seeing a 20% increase in activity levels over the fourth quarter. Since, there has been an increase in activity levels the fixed cost would remain the same but the variable cost being variable would increase with increase in production activity in same proportion as the increase in production.

B : a 20% increase in variable costs
