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

Which expressions are equivalent?
trapecia [35]

Only 3(a−b) and 3a−3b are equivalent

Further explanation:

We have to evaluate each expression to evaluate if the expressions are equivalent or not.

So,

<u>For 3(a−b)</u>

3(a-b)\\Distributing\ 3\ in\ bracket\\3.a-3.b\\=3a-3b

As we can see that 3(a-b) results in 3a-3b so these are equivalent

<u>For 2a(2+b)</u>

2a(2+b)\\Distributing\ 2a\\2a.2+2a.b\\=4a+2ab

As we can see that 2a(2+b) doesn't result in 4ab so these are not equivalent

Hence,

Only 3(a−b) and 3a−3b are equivalent

A national survey of companies included a question that asked whether the company had at least one bilingual telephone operator.
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The first option is correct. Option A is correct.

LCL = 0.270, and UCL = 0.397

80% Confidence interval = (0.270, 0.397)

Step-by-step explanation:

The data for Y and N for the 90 companies is attached to this solution provided.

Y represents companies with at least 1 bilingual operator and N represents companies with no bilingual operator.

The number of Y in the data = 30

Hence, sample proportion of companies with at least one bilingual operator = (30/90) = 0.3333

Confidence Interval for the population proportion is basically an interval of range of values where the true population proportion can be found with a certain level of confidence.

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample proportion) ± (Margin of error)

Sample proportion = 0.3333

Margin of Error is the width of the confidence interval about the mean.

It is given mathematically as,

Margin of Error = (Critical value) × (standard Error)

Critical value at 80% confidence level for sample size of 90 is obtained from the z-tables.

Critical value = 1.280

Standard error of the mean = σₓ = √[p(1-p)/n]

p = sample proportion

n = sample size = 90

σₓ = √[0.3333×0.6667)/90] = 0.0496891568 = 0.04969

80% Confidence Interval = (Sample proportion) ± [(Critical value) × (standard Error)]

CI = 0.3333 ± (1.28 × 0.04969)

CI = 0.3333 ± 0.0636021207

80% CI = (0.2696978793, 0.3969021207)

80% Confidence interval = (0.270, 0.397)

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer:

a greater-than negative 21 and one-third

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4a>-16

divide both sides by 3/4

a>-16*4/3

a>-64/3

a>-21 1/3

so then

a greater-than negative 21 and one-third
