Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

$4(x-7)=2(x+3)\\\\4x-28=2x+6\\\\4x-28+28=2x+6+28\\\\4x=2x+34\\\\4x-2x=2x-2x+34\\\\2x=34\\\\\frac{2x=34}{2}\\\\ \boxed{x=17}$

Hope this helps.

Answer:

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

4(x−7)=2(x+3)

Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(x−7)=2(x+3)

4x+−28=2x+6

4x−28=2x+6

Subtract 2x from both sides.

4x−28−2x=2x+6−2x

x−28=6

Add 28 to both sides.

2x−28+28=6+28

2x=34

Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2 = 34/2

x = 17

A 99% confidence interval for the population mean of high school students that take the bus to school every day is b) ci=(44.34%, 54.43%)

We need to find the 99% confidence interval for the population mean of high school students that take the bus to school everyday

A confidence interval is a range of estimates for an unknown parameter. The confidence interval is calculated at the specified confidence level; the most common is the 95% confidence level, but sometimes other levels are used, such as 90% or 99%.

The confidence interval of proportions is given by:

π ± z √(π (1-π) /n)

π is the sample proportion.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

For 99% confidence interval the value of z is 2.58

π = 321/650

The confidence interval is given by

=321/650 ± 2.58 √( (321/650) × [ 1 - (321/650) ] ÷ 650)

= (0.493846 ± 0.050594)

=(0.4434 , 0.5443)

=(44.34 % , 54.43 %)
