1 answer:
natali 33 [55]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the shorter leg, then x + 5 is the longer leg, and 2x − 5 is the hypotenuse.

Using Pythagorean theorem:

c² = a² + b²

(2x − 5)² = x² + (x + 5)²

4x² − 20x + 25 = x² + x² + 10x + 25

4x² − 20x + 25 = 2x² + 10x + 25

2x² − 30x = 0

x² − 15x = 0

x (x − 15) = 0

x = 0 or 15

Since x can't be 0, x must be 15.

5x + 3(2x -1) = 3x -14 solve it
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

x=-11/8

Step-by-step explanation:

First use the Distributive property on [3(2x-1)]:

5x+6x-3=3x-14

Now combine alike terms:

11x-3=3x-14

Now add three to both sides:

11x=3x-11

Now subtract 3x from both sides:

8x=-11

Now divide both sides by 8:

x=-11/8

This fraction cannot be simplified meaning your final answer SHOULD be -11/8

Suppose that IQ scores have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 95 and a standard deviation of 15. Using the empirical rul
professor190 [17]

Answer:

2.5% of IQ scores are no more than 65

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 95

Standard deviation = 15

Using the empirical rule, what percentage of IQ scores are no more than 65?

65 = 95 - 2*15

So 65 is two standard deviations below the mean.

By the Empirical Rule, 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean. Of those 5% which are not, 2.5% are more than 2 standard deviations above the mean and 2.5% are more than 2 standard deviations below the mean.

So 2.5% of IQ scores are no more than 65
