10 less than 5 times a number is less than 6 times the number decreased by eight

Mathematics

1 answer:

-BARSIC- [3]2 years ago

8 0

Answer:

The Answer is: the Number is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = the number.

Five times the number minus 10 is less than 6 times the number minus eight:

5n - 10 = 6n - 8

-1n = -8 + 10

-n = 2

n = -2, the value of the number is -2.

Proof:

5(-2) - 10 = 6(-2) - 8

-10 - 10 = -12 - 8

-20 = -20

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)

mezya [45]

Answer: (A) H0: μ = 140 mg vs. H1: μ ≠ 140 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually null hypothesis represents the claim that the values associated to the groups being tested have no statistical difference but alternative hypothesis supports the claim that there is statistical difference.

Let $\mu$ be the population mean .

We are given that the mean potassium content of a popular sports drink is listed as 140 mg in a 32-oz bottle.

i.e. Null hypothesis : $H_0:\mu=140$

Alternative hypothesis for two tail hypothesis has sign (≠).

i.e. Alternative hypothesis : $H_1 : \mu\neq140$

∴ The hypotheses for a two-tailed test of the claimed potassium content:

H0: μ = 140 mg vs. H1: μ ≠ 140 mg

The table below shows the amounts of lemon juice and sugar used in each container of lemonade. The ratio of lemon juice to sugar

stira [4]

1/2 : 1
2 : 4
3 : 6
Notice that every ratio consists of a number and double the number.

For 1/2 cup lemon juice, use 1 cup sugar.
The amount of sugar is twice the amount of lemon juice.

The ratio is 1:2
Since you are told the ratio is 1:r, that means r is 2.

The unit rate is 2 cups sugar per cup of lemon juice.

C= 5/9 (F−32)

Grace [21]

Answer:

C = 5/9 (F - 32)

This is a temperature scale change comparison.

By this we understand, that ,

1°C = 5/9°F

Which is equal to, 5/9°F = 1°C

These two statements are satisfied by I. and II.

So, the correct answers are, I. and II.

If my answer helped, kindly mark me as the brainliest!
