6x-4>8-2x
Add 2x on each side
8x-4>8
8x>12
x>12/8
x>3/2
The answer is B
Answer:
a) Given expression,
12% of 312
Since 100% of 312 = 312
⇒ 10% of 312 = 31.2,
⇒ 1% = 3.12
⇒ 2% = 2 × 3.12 = 6.24
So, 12% of 312 = 10% of 312 + 2% of 312
= 31.2 + 6.24
= 37.44
b) Given,
Total number of servings = 312,
The percentage of vitamin C in each serving = 12%,
Thus, the total amount of the vitamin C in 312 servings = 12% of 312


= 37.44,
Hence, the question can be asked about the total amount of the vitamin C.
Given equations are;<span>
2a + 3b = -1 ..................equation 1
3a + 5b = -2 ....................equation 2</span>
Now multiply equation 1 with (-3)
The equation will be;
-6a -9b = 3 …………………..equation 3
Now multiply equation 2 with (2)
The equation will be;
6a + 10b = -4 ……………..equation 4
Now add equation 3 and equation 4
-6a – 9b = 3
<span>6a + 10b = -4</span>
<span>------------------------------</span>
0a + b = -1
b = -1
Now put the value of b in equation 1
2a + 3(-1) = -1
2a -3 = -1
2a = -1+3
2a = 2
a=1
Thus the solution is (a,b) = (1,-1)

<span>The correct answer is (a) total deviation equals unexplained deviation plus explained deviation.
These deviations are commonly encountered or studied in statistics, and sometimes in regression analysis.</span>
Answer:
x ∈ {-5, -1}
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's the solution using the quadratic formula:

The real zeros are -5 and -1.
_____
There are many ways to check your answer. One of them is to look at the given quadratic, which has no changes of sign in its coefficients. (They are all positive.) That means there can be no positive real roots, so already you know that x=0.5 won't work.
Also, the constant in the quadratic is the product of the roots, For your roots, their product is -7/4, so even multiplying by 4 (the leading coefficient in the given quadratic), you don't get anything like 20.
