5x + 10 = 20

To solve for x, we must first isolate the term containing x which in this problem is 5x.

Since 10 is being added to 5x, we subtract 10 from both sides of the equation to isolate the 5x.

On the left, the +10 and -10 cancel out and on the right, 20 - 10 is 10 and we have 5x = 10.

Now we can finish things off by just dividing both sides of the equation by 5. On the left the 5's cancel and on the right, 10 divided by 5 is 2 so x = 2.

The average score of all pro golfers for a particular course has a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 3.0 (Think of these as

bija089 [108]

Answer:

0.477 is the probability that the average score of the 36 golfers was between 70 and 71.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 70

Standard Deviation, σ = 3

Sample size, n = 36

Let the average score of all pro golfers follow a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

P(score of the 36 golfers was between 70 and 71)

$\text{Standard error of sampling} = \displaystyle\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{3}{\sqrt{36}} = \frac{1}{2}$

$P(70 \leq x \leq 71) = P(\displaystyle\frac{70 - 70}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{36}}} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{71-70}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{36}}}) = P(0 \leq z \leq 2)\\\\= P(z \leq 2) - P(z \leq 0)\\= 0.977 - 0.500 = 0.477= 47.7\%$

$P(70 \leq x \leq 71) = 47.7\%$

0.477 is the probability that the average score of the 36 golfers was between 70 and 71.

6(-2-3x)+8=68 Find x

yawa3891 [41]

$6(-2-3x)+8=68 \\ 6(-2-3x)=60 \\ -12-18x=60 \\ -18x=72 \\ 18x=-72 \\ x= \frac{-72}{18} \\ \\ \boxed{x=-4}$

What is the quotient in the polynomial form?

Oxana [17]

First step of a synthetic divison is that we need to carry down the leading coefficient. Here the leading coefficient is 2. So, carry down 2 at the bottom.

Next step is to multiply the divisor -3 with this carry down number 2. So, we have got 3*(-2)= -6 which will place atthe bottom of the next coefficient 4.

Next step is to add this column.

Now repeat the same method again till the last colum.

At the end we have got 0 after the addition. Which means the remainder is 0.

So, the quotient is 2x^2-2x+2.

??? Answer toys word problem

Alenkasestr [34]

6 is a constant, so we know that y is greater than or equal to 6.

x is just a variable, but it has to be positive, so it could be anything greater than or equal to 0.

Total flour = white flour + wheat flour, therefore y = x + 6.
