If you want to factor -2 out of -6x + 10, simply divide everything by -2 and put the result in a parentheses times -2:

(-6x + 10)/-2 = 3x - 5

Therefore, the factored form would be -2(3x - 5).

If you want to check the answer, just redistribute the -2:

-2 * 3x = -6x and -2 * -5 = 10

-6x + 10 <----- It checks out

Hope this helps! :)

11. In a sample of n=6, five individuals all have scores of X=10 and the sixth person has a score of x=16. What is the mean for

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a sample of n=6, five individuals all have scores of X=10 and the sixth person has a score of x=16

i.e. the data entries are

10,10,10,10,10,16

Sum = 66

No of items n = 6

Average = sum/no of entries

= $\frac{66}{6} \\=11$

Average is 11.

mean of this sample is 11

What is the approximate distance between the points (-3, -4) and (-8, 1) on a coordinate grid

tatyana61 [14]

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&&(~ -3 &,& -4~) 
% (c,d)
&&(~ -8 &,& 1~)
\end{array}\\\\\\ % distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{[-8-(-3)]^2+[1-(-4)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-8+3)^2+(1+4)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{25+25}\implies d=\sqrt{2\cdot 25}\implies d=\sqrt{2\cdot 5^2}\implies d=5\sqrt{2}$
