<span><u>3(x - 8) - 5 = 9(x + 2) + 1</u></span>

First, you have to get rid of the parentheses:

3(x - 8) is the same as 3x - 24, so the left side is 3x - 29 .

9(x + 2) is the same as 9x + 18, so the right side is 9x + 19 .

Now, the equation is:    3x - 29 = 9x + 19

Subtract 19 from each side:    3x - 48 = 9x

Subtract 3x from each side:        - 48 = 6x

Divide each side by 6 :               <u> - 8 = x </u>

(I guess the answer is <em>not</em> 7.166 after all.)

Find the values of the mode when median is given to be 5 and mean is 7.
Reil [10]

Answer:

<u>Mode = 1</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Relation between the Central Measures of Tendency</u>

  • Mean, Median, and Mode are commonly referred to as the Central Measures of Tendency
  • The formula between the three is given by :
  • ⇒ <u>Mode = 3Median - 2Mean</u> or <u>Mode + 2Mean = 3Median</u>

<u></u>

<u>Solving</u>

  • We know that :
  1. Median = 5
  2. Mean = 7

Therefore,

  • Mode = 3(5) - 2(7)
  • Mode = 15 - 14
  • <u>Mode = 1</u>

The point U (-2,0) is translated 1 unit up. What are the coordinates of the resulting point, U’?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Point U' (-2, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

When moving up and down on a graph, this affects the y coordinate only.

Since it is moving up 1 unit, we have to add 1 to the y coordinate. So U' will end up being (-2, 1).

Find the zeros of the polynomial function f(x)= x(4x-3)(3x+2)<br> Please show work thank you
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

x = -2/3, 0, 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros of the polynomial are the solutions or roots or x-intercepts of the function. To find them, use the zero product property to solve for x. Use the property by setting each factor equal to 0.

x = 0                            4x-3=0                 3x+2 = 0

                                     x = 3/4                    x = -2/3
