Simplify both sides of the equation

2-(3x-4)=2x-9

2+-1(3x-4)=2x-9

Distribute the negative sign

2+-1(3x)+(-1)(-4)=2x-9

2+-3x+4=2x-9

2+-3x+4=2x+-9

Combine like terms

(-3x)+(2+4)=2x-9

-3x+6=2x-9

Subtract 2x from both sides

-3x+6-2x=2x-9-2x

-5x+6=-9

Subtract 6 from both sides

-5x+6-6=-9-6

-5x=-15

Divide both sides by -5

-5x/5=-15/-5

x=3


I hope that's help !

First put the -1 into the 3x and -4, so it looks like 2-3x+4=2x-9, then combine 2 and 4, (-3x+6=2x-9), then subtract 2x from both sides (-5x+6=-9) then subtract 6 to both sides so -5x=-15, then divide by 5 so x=3 hope this helps!! sorry i messed up the first time

For bone density scores that are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of​ 1, find the percentage of sc
mr Goodwill [35]
<span>In a normal distribution 68.27% of the values are within one standard deviation from the mean, 95.5% of the values are within two standard deviations from the mean, and 99.7 % of the values are within three standard deviations of the mean

With that you have the answer to the three questions:

</span>
<span>a. significantly high​ (or at least 2 standard deviations above the​ mean).

99.5% of the values are within 2 standard deviations from the mean, half of 100% - 95.5% = 4.5% / 2 = 2.25% are above the mean, so the answer is 2.25%

b. significantly low​ (or at least 2 standard deviations below the​ mean).

The other half are below 2 standard deviations, so the answer is 2.25%

c. not significant​ (or less than 2 standard deviations away from the​ mean).

As said, 95.5% are within the band of two standard deviations from the mean, so the answer is 95.5%.

Garcia wrote the equation y=-0.2x^2+5x-8 to model the path of a soccer ball. What is true about the expression -0.2x^2+5x-8?
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A.  The leading coefficient is the number on the highest degree term.  We have a 2nd degree polynomial because of the power of 2 on the x.  That's what leads this polynomial off.  So the leading coefficient is the number stuck to that x-squared term.  Our leading coefficient is a -.2, not 5.  5 is the linear term.

B.  The constant is the number that doesn't have a variable stuck to it.  Our constant, then, is -8, not 2.

C.  The expression does in fact have 3 terms.  Each term is separated from the other terms by either a plus sign or a minus sign.  A polynomial with 3 terms is called a trinomial.

D.  The expression actually factors to x = 1.718... and x = 23.281...  Neither one of those is the factor given in the statement.  

The only one that is true is C.
