Noah solved an equation as shown below and found that the equation has infinitely many solutions.–3(x+4)+2x=2(x – 6)– 3x–3x– 12+

2x= 2x– 12– 3x–x – 12= –x – 12Which explains whether Noah is correct?
a. Noah is correct because the two sides of the equation are equivalent expressions.
b. Noah is correct because if he continues the solution, the final solution will be x = –2C) Noah is not correct because the equivalent expressions mean that there is no solution.
d. Noah is not correct because he used the distributive property incorrectly.

Answer:

Option c.  Noah is not correct because the equivalent expressions mean that there is no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Noah is correct:

Here are the steps:

The equation is stated as follows:

-3(x+4)+ 2x = 2 (x-6) - 3x\\

the expression gives:

-3x-12+2x= 2x-12-3x\\              0 = 0

The equation has no solution.

–3(x+4) +2x = 2(x – 6) – 3x

–3x– 12 +2x = 2x– 12– 3x

–x – 12= –x – 12

0 = 0

Answer:

a. Noah is correct because the two sides of the equation are equivalent expressions.

Pairs of P-values and significance levels, α, are given. For each pair, state whether the observed P-value would lead to rejecti
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

(a) P-value = 0.074, α = 0.05 do not reject H0

(b) P-value = 0.006, α = 0.001 do not reject H0

(c) P-value = 0.494, α = 0.05 do not reject H0

(d) P-value = 0.074, α = 0.10 reject H0

(e) P-value = 0.028, α = 0.01 do not reject H0

(f) P-value = 0.296, α = 0.10 do not reject H0

Step-by-step explanation:

The p-value is used to determine the statistical significance of the results of a statistical test. The p-value is the probability that the null hypothesis is correct. Smaller the p-value, higher is the probability that the alternate hypothesis is correct. On the other hand, the significance level (α) is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true. It is the risk that you are willing to take in saying that there are differences between groups when there are not. 

In order to reject the null hypothesis, the p-value should be lower than the significance level (α).

I climb half the steps in a staircase. Next, I climb one-third of the remaining steps. Then I climb one-eight of the rest and st
Natasha2012 [34]

Given parameters:

   First sets of staircase  = \frac{1}{2}

   Next sets  = \frac{1}{3}

    Third sets  = \frac{1}{8}

Unknown:

The least possible number of steps =?

Solution:

The least possible number of steps will be the lowest common multiples of these sets of steps.

We want fractions that will give whole numbers because realistically, one cannot take half a step of a step.

 So, the number of steps must be a multiple of denominators of the fractions given.

   Denominators are 2 , 3 and 8

     Their least common multiple is 24;

    This the lowest number by which 2, 3 and 8 can all divide.

So, the least number is 24 steps

3+4=19, 5+6=41, 1+3=?
Umnica [9.8K]
3+4 = 7. 19/7 = 2.71
5+6 = 11. 41/11 = 3.73      
1+3 = 4. ?/4 = 4.75    <--- Following the pattern of +1.02 (2.71+1.02=3.73, therefore 3.73+1.02=4.75
We still need (?) ... ?/4=4.75 we can re-write this as 4(4.75)=?
4(4.75) = 19 (4x4=16, 4x0.75=3, 16+3=19)
Therefore, 1+3=19.
