5(x – 4) + 3x – 9x = 6 – (2x + 5) + 8x

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the distributive property a couple times to expand the parentheses.

Remember that when expanding parentheses, we find the sum of the products of the outside term with each of the inside terms.

5(x - 4) = 5 * x + 5 * (-4) = 5x - 20

-(2x + 5) = -1 * 2x + -1 * 5 = -2x - 5

Now we have:

5x - 20 + 3x - 9x = 6 - 2x - 5 + 8x

Combine all the terms with x:

-x - 20 = 6x + 1

7x = -21

Divide by 7:

x = -21/7 = -3

The answer is thus -3.

A software developer wants to know how many new computer games people buy each year. Assume a previous study found the standard

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The minimum sample size required to ensure that the estimate has an error of at most 0.14 at the 95% level of confidence is n=567.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the minimum sample size n needed to have a margin of error below 0.14.

The critical value of z for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

To do that, we use the margin of error formula in function of n:

$MOE=\dfrac{z\cdot \sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\\n=\left(\dfrac{z\cdot \sigma}{MOE}\right)^2=\left(\dfrac{1.96\cdot 1.7}{0.14}\right)^2=(23.8)^2=566.42\approx 567$

The minimum sample size to have this margin of error is n = 567.
