Is -5 a solution to the equation 6x+5=5x+8+2x

1 answer:

7 0

6x+5=5x+8+2x
Add 2x to 5x
6x+5=7x+8
Subtract 6x from both sides
5=x+8
Subtract 8 from both sides
Final Answer: -3=x

And so no, -5 is not the solution to this equation.

The 2010 General Social Survey reported a sample where about 48% of US residents thought marijuana should be made legal. If we w

Answer:

The sample size is $n = 600$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample proportion is $\r p = 0.48$

The margin of error is $MOE = 0.04$

Given that the confidence level is 95% the level of significance is mathematically represented as

$\alpha = 100 - 95$

$\alpha = 5 \%$

$\alpha = 0.05$

Next we obtain the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table , the values is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

The reason we are obtaining critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ instead of $\alpha$ is because

$\alpha$ represents the area under the normal curve where the confidence level interval ( $1-\alpha$ ) did not cover which include both the left and right tail while
