Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 20 = 2x - 3(3x + 2)

7x - 20 = 2x - 9x - 6

7x - 2x + 9x = - 6 + 20

14x = 14

x = 14/14

x = 1

Answer:

7x-20=2x-3(3x+2)

We move all terms to the left:

7x-20-(2x-3(3x+2))=0

We calculate terms in parentheses: -(2x-3(3x+2)), so:

2x-3(3x+2)

We multiply parentheses

2x-9x-6

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-7x-6

Back to the equation:

-(-7x-6)

We get rid of parentheses

7x+7x+6-20=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

14x-14=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

14x=14

x=14/14

x=1

Jenna has bought a new hybrid car. Each week for a period of seven weeks, she has noted the fuel efficiency (in miles per gallon

Leviafan [203]

Answer: 0.82 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Jenna has bought a new hybrid car. Each week for a period of seven weeks, she has noted the fuel efficiency (x) (in miles per gallon) of her car.

The results are :45 44 43 44 45 44 43

The formula to find the standard deviation is given by :-

$\sigma=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum_{i=1}^n(x_i-\overline{x})^2}{n-1}}$

First we find mean of the given data ,

$\overline{x}=\dfrac{\sum^n_{i=1}x_i}{n}\\\\=\dfrac{45+44+43+44+45+44+43}{7}=\dfrac{308}{7}=44$

Now,

${\sum_{i=1}^n(x_i-\overline{x})^2=(1)^2+(0)^2+(-1)^2+(0)^2+(1)^2+(0)^2+(-1)^2$

$=1+1+1+1=4$

Now, standard deviation of the above results will be :-

$\sigma=\sqrt{\dfrac{4}{7-1}}\\\\=\sqrt{\dfrac{4}{6}}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}=0.816496580928\approx0.82$

Hence, the standard deviation of these results = 0.82 miles per gallon

Mrs Omar runs the school tennis club. She has a bin of tennis balls and rackets for every 5 tennis balls in the bin there are 5

irakobra [83]

Answer:

x=y

Step-by-step explanation:

-let x be the number of tennis balls and y the number of rackets.

-We divide the number of balls by the number of rackets to find out their ratio of proportionality:

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{5}=\frac{1}{1}\\\\\\=>x:y$

-Hence, for each one tennis ball, there is a tennis racket.

#This is a direct linear relationship and is modeled as graphed in the attachment:
