Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

Multiply 4 to both sides

x/4(4) = -5(4)

x = -5(4)

x = -20

-20 is your answer for x

hope this helps

-5 x 4 = -20 therefore -20/4 = -5

What is 1/6d+2/3 = 1/4(d-2)

GenaCL600 [577]

1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4(d - 2)

First, simplify $\frac{1}{6} d$ to $\frac{d}{6}$ / Your problem should look like: $\frac{d}{6}$ + $\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$ (d - 2)
Second, simplify $\frac{1}{4} (d - 2)$ to $\frac{d-2}{4}$ / Your problem should look like: $\frac{d}{6}$ + $\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{d-2}{4}$
Third, multiply both sides by 12 (the LCM of 6,4) / Your problem should look like: 2d + 8 = 3(d - 2)
Fourth, expand. / Your problem should look like: 2d + 8 = 3d - 6
Fifth, subtract 2d from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 8 = 3d - 6 - 2d
Sixth, simplify 3d - 6 - 2d to d - 6 / Your problem should look like: 8 = d - 6
Seventh,add 6 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 8 + 6 = d
Eighth, simplify 8 + 6 to 14 / Your problem should look like:14 = d
Ninth, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: d = 14

Answer: d = 14

In a mid-size company, the distribution of the number of phone calls answered each day by each of the 12 receptionists is bell-s

Radda [10]

Answer:

68%

Step-by-step explanation:

The Standard Deviation Rule = Empirical rule formula states that:

68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ.

95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ.

99.7% of data falls within 3 standard deviations from the mean - between μ - 3σ and μ + 3σ.

From the question,

Step 1

We have to find the number of Standard deviation from the mean. This is represented as x in the formula

μ = Mean = 61

σ = Standard Deviation = 8

For x = 53

μ - xσ

53 = 61 - 8x

8x = 61 - 53

8x = 8

x = 8/8

x = 1

For x = 69

μ + xσ

69 = 61 + 8x

8x = 69 - 61

8x = 8

x = 8/8

x = 1

This falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean where: 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ.

Therefore, according to the Standard Deviation Rule, the approximate percentage of daily phone calls numbering between 53 and 69 is 68%

Renee is buying Halloween candy. She wants to buy candy bars and lollipops and spend no more than $28. Each candy bar costs $0.4

aivan3 [116]

The inequality that represents the possible combinations of candy bars and lollipops that he can buy is given by:

$0.45x + 0.25y \leq 28$
