1) Transform the inequality into equation by replacing "<" or ">" with "=":
-2x - 4 > 8
-2x - 4 = 8
2) Simply solve for x:
-2x - 4 = 8
-2x = 8 + 4
-2x = 12
x = -6
3) Now do the following exactly the same: first, look into the symbol that you have replaced (">" or "<"). Put the same symbol into your answer "x = -6":
x > -6
4) Now, look which symbol was in front of "x" in the original inequality (-2x - 4 = 8). If it is "+" (for example, 4x, 0.01x) leave "x > -6". If it is "-" (for example, -3x, -0.04x) change ">" into "<" or change "<" into ">" (put the opposite symbol).
5) You have -2x in the original inequality - then, in "x > -6" change the symbol into "<". So, your answer will be
x < -6 or the option 1.
Hope this helps!

An airplane travels at an unknown elevation before it descends 3 miles to an elevation of 15 miles. Find the elevation of the pl
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

18 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call it's initial elevation x. Because it descends 3 miles, we now have x - 3. The question says it is now 15 miles above sea level, or x - 3 = 15, and adding 3 to both sides shows that x = 18 miles.

A normally distributed set of numbers has a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 7.97. What percentage of values lies between
lana [24]

Answer:

63% of the values lies between 70 and 85.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a normally distributed set of numbers has a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 7.97.

<em>Let X = Set of numbers</em>

The z-score probability distribution for is given by;

                Z = \frac{  X -\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean value = 75

            \sigma = standard deviation = 7.97

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

So, percentage of values that lies between 70 and 85 is given by = P(70 < X < 85) = P(X < 85) - P(X \leq 70)

   P(X < 85) = P( \frac{  X -\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{  85-75}{7.97} ) = P(Z < 1.25) = 0.89435  {using z table}

   P(X \leq 70) = P( \frac{  X -\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{  70-75}{7.97} ) = P(Z \leq -0.63) = 1 - P(Z < 0.63)

                                                 = 1 - 0.73565 = 0.26435

<em>Now, in the z table the P(Z </em>\leq<em> x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.25 and x = 0.63 in the z table which has an area of 0.89435 and 0.73565 respectively.</em>

Therefore, P(70 < X < 85) = 0.89435 - 0.26435 = 0.63 or 63%

<em>Hence, 63% of the values lies between 70 and 85.</em>
