The difference of a number x and 4 is 3

1 answer:

6 0

"the difference of a number x and 4": x - 4
"is": =
"3": 3

Combine the terms so that it looks like the sentence numerically:

"the difference of a number x and 4 is 3": x - 3 = 4

x - 3 = 4 is your answer.

To solve for x:

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, x. Add 3 to both sides.

x - 3 = 4

x -3 (-3) = 4 (-3)

x = 4 - 3

x = 1

1 is your answer for x.

which qaudratic equation is equivalent to (x+2)^2+5(x+2)-6=0 a. (u+2)^2+5(u+2)-6=0 where u=(x-2) b. u^2+4+5u-6=0 where u= (x-2)

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x + 2)² + 5(x + 2) - 6 = 0

Using the substitution u = x + 2 , then the equation can be expressed as

u² + 5u - 6 = 0 → D

Suppose heights of seasonal pine saplings are normally distributed and have a known population standard deviation of 17 millimet

Mumz [18]

Answer:

$296.693\leq x\leq 319.307$

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for the population mean x can be calculated as:

$x'-z_{\alpha /2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } \leq x\leq x'+z_{\alpha /2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$

Where x' is the sample mean, s is the population standard deviation, n is the sample size and $z_{\alpha /2}$ is the z-score that let a proportion of $\alpha /2$ on the right tail.
