Distribute -1 into the brackets.
-2(a - 8) + 6a = 36
-2a + 16 + 6a = 36
Take 16 to the other side
-2a + 6a + 16 = 36
- 16 -16
-2a + 6a = 36 - 16
Combine like terms
4a = 20
Divide by 4 on either sides to isolate a
$\frac{4a}{4} = \frac{20}{4}$
4 and 4 cancels out.
a = 5

Factor completely 3bx^2 - 9x^3 - b + 3x

Anna11 [10]

Factor out the common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms;

3x^2(b - 3x) - (b - 3x)

Factor out the common term b - 3x

= (b - 3x)(3x^2 - 1)

Assume that you have a sample of n 1 equals 6, with the sample mean Upper X overbar 1 equals 50, and a sample standard deviati

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

$t=\frac{(50 -38)-(0)}{7.46\sqrt{\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{5}}}=2.656$

$df=6+5-2=9$

$p_v =P(t_{9}>2.656) =0.0131$

Since the p value is higher than the significance level given of 0.01 we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for group 1 is significantly higher thn the true mean for the group 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

$n_1 =6$ represent the sample size for group 1
