Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(1 + x) = 2(x + -1)

(1 * 3 + x * 3) = 2(x + -1)

(3 + 3x) = 2(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:

3 + 3x = 2(-1 + x)

3 + 3x = (-1 * 2 + x * 2)

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

Solving :the equation

3 + 3x = -2 + 2x

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

3 + 3x + -2x = -2 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 3x + -2x = x

3 + x = -2 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

3 + x = -2 + 0

3 + x = -2

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

3 + -3 + x = -2 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0

0 + x = -2 + -3

x = -2 + -3

Combine like terms: -2 + -3 = -5

x = -5

divide each side by '1'.

x = -5

X=-5
3(x+1)=2(x-1)
3x+3=2x-2
x=-5

-8=-(x+4). Please help I don't know the answer or steps to solve this equation.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First u need to distribute the -1 to (x + 4), creating the equation, -8 = -x - 4. Then add the -4 to both sides, and you get, -4 = -x. Then divide by -1 to both sides, and x = 4.

A company employs two shifts of workers. Each shift produces a type of gasket where the thickness is the critical dimension. The

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

a) $[-0.134,0.034]$

b) We are uncertain

c) It will change significantly

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Since the variances are unknown, we use the t-test with 95% confidence interval, that is the significance level = 1-0.05 = 0.025.

Since we assume that the variances are equal, we use the pooled variance given as

$s_p^2 = \frac{ (n_1 -1)s_1^2 + (n_2-1)s_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2}$ ,

where $n_1 = 40, n_2 = 30, s_1 = 0.16, s_2 = 0.19$ .

The mean difference $\mu_1 - \mu_2 = 10.85 - 10.90 = -0.05$ .

The confidence interval is

$(\mu_1 - \mu_2) \pm t_{n_1+n_2-2,\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{s_p^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_p^2}{n_2}} = (-0.05) \pm t_{68,0.025} \sqrt{\frac{0.03}{40} + \frac{0.03}{30}}$

$= -0.05\pm 1.995 \times 0.042 = -0.05 \pm 0.084 = [-0.134,0.034]$

b) With 95% confidence, we can say that it is possible that the gaskets from shift 2 are, on average, wider than the gaskets from shift 1, because the mean difference extends to the negative interval or that the gaskets from shift 1 are wider, because the confidence interval extends to the positive interval.

c) Increasing the sample sizes results in a smaller margin of error, which gives us a narrower confidence interval, thus giving us a good idea of what the true mean difference is.

Find k so that the distance from (–1, 1) to (2, k) is 5 units. k= k= *there are two solutions for 2*

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

k = -3

k =5

Step-by-step explanation:

$d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\d = 5\\(-1,1) =(x_1,y_1)\\(2,k)=(x_2,y_2)\\$

$5=\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-1\right)\right)^2+\left(k-1\right)^2}\\\\\mathrm{Square\:both\:sides}:\quad 25=k^2-2k+10\\25=k^2-2k+10\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:25=k^2-2k+10:\\k^2-2k+10=25\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}25\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\k^2-2k+10-25=25-25\\k^2-2k-15=0\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:by\:factoring}\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:}k^2-2k-15:\quad \left(k+3\right)\left(k-5\right)\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:k+3=0:\quad k=-3\\$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:k-5=0:\quad k=5\\\\k =5 , k=-3$
