What is the solution to 2x -8 = 2(x - 4 ) ? ALSO, explain how you solved it.

1 answer:

7 0

First, you gotta simplify. There’s really nothing to simplify so just take it out of the parenthesis.

2x-8=2x-4

Now turn the -8 into a +8. Add it on each side.

2x=2x+8

Now turn the 2x on the right into a negative. Do the same thing you did with the 8.
Now it’s:

0 = 8

That means there’s no solution.
Hope this helped :)

The triangles are similar

hoa [83]

Answer:

Part 1) $x=16\ units$

Part 2) $x=23\ units$

Part 3) $AE=20\ units$

Part 4) $x= 6.25\ units$

Part 5) $x=26.67\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we know that

If two triangles are similar

then

the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

In this problem

$\frac{12}{3}=\frac{x}{4}\\\\3x=12*4\\ \\x=48/3\\ \\x=16\ units$

Part 2) we know that

If two triangles are similar

then

the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

In this problem

$\frac{36}{12}=\frac{39}{(x-10)}\\\\3(x-10)=39\\ \\x=(39/3)+10\\ \\x=23\ units$

Part 3) we know that

If two triangles are similar

then

the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

In this problem

$\frac{AB}{CD}=\frac{AE}{ED}$

substitute the values

$\frac{10}{4}=\frac{2x+10}{x+3}$

$2.5(x+3)=2x+10$

$2.5x+7.5=2x+10$

$2.5x-2x=10-7.5$

$0.5x=2.5$

$x=5\ units$

$AE=2x+10=2*5+10=20\ units$

Part 4) we know that

If two triangles are similar

then

the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

In this problem

$\frac{4}{5}=\frac{5}{x}\\ \\4x=5*5\\ \\ x=25/4\\ \\ x= 6.25\ units$

Part 5) we know that

If two triangles are similar

then

the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

In this problem

$\frac{30}{x}=\frac{45}{40}\\ \\45x=30*40\\ \\x=1,200/45\\ \\ x=26.67\ in$

The American Management Association is studying the income of store managers in the retail industry. A random sample of 49 manag

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

a) The 95% confidence interval for the income of store managers in the retail industry is ($44,846, $45,994), having a margin of error of $574.

b) The interval mean that we are 95% sure that the true mean income of all store managers in the retail industry is between $44,846 and $45,994.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

We have to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a p-value of $1 - 0.025 = 0.975$ , so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

$M = 1.96\frac{2050}{\sqrt{49}} = 574$

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 45420 - 574 = $44,846.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 45420 + 574 = $45,994.

The 95% confidence interval for the income of store managers in the retail industry is ($44,846, $45,994), having a margin of error of $574.

Question b:

The interval mean that we are 95% sure that the true mean income of all store managers in the retail industry is between $44,846 and $45,994.
