Isolate the x.

Do the opposite of PEMDAS. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

2/3x - 2 = 7

Add 2 to both sides

2/3x - 2 (+2) = 7 (+2)

2/3x = 9

Multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

2/3x(3/2) = 9(3/2)

x = 9(3/2)

Multiply 9 with 3, and divide by 2

9 x 3 = 27
27/2 = 13.5

x = 13.5 is your answer

hope this helps

A ski gondola carries skiers to the top of a mountain. assume that weights of skiers are normally distributed with a mean of 199
Allushta [10]
A) maximum mean weight of passengers = <span>load limit ÷ number of passengers
</span><span>
maximum mean weight of passengers = 3750 </span>÷ 25 = <span>150lb

</span>B)  First, find the z-score:
z = (value - mean) / stdev
   = (150 - 199) / 41
   = -1.20

We need to find P(z > -1.20) = 1 - P(z < -1.20)

Now, look at a standard normal table to find <span>P(z < -1.20) = 0.11507, therefore:
</span>P(z > -1.20) = 1 - <span>0.11507 = 0.8849

Hence, <span>the probability that the mean weight of 25 randomly selected skiers exceeds 150lb is about 88.5%</span> </span>

C) With only 20 passengers, the new maximum mean weight of passengers = 3750 ÷ 20 = <span>187.5lb

Let's repeat the steps of point B)

z = (187.5 - 199) / 41
   = -0.29

P(z > -0.29) = 1 - P(z < -0.29) = 1 - 0.3859 = 0.6141

</span>Hence, <span>the probability that the mean weight of 20 randomly selected skiers exceeds 187.5lb is about 61.4%

D) The mean weight of skiers is 199lb, therefore:
number</span> of passengers = <span>load limit ÷ <span>mean weight of passengers
                                     = 3750 </span></span><span>÷ 199
                                     = 18.8
The new capacity of 20 skiers is safer than 25 skiers, but we cannot consider it safe enough, since the maximum capacity should be of 18 skiers.</span>
