6x-14=2-10x what is the x

Mathematics
2 answers:
malfutka [58]3 years ago

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

6x-14=2-10x

First step is to add 10x to each side

6x+10x-14=2-10x+10x

16x-14=2

Now add 14 to each side

16x-14+14=2+14

16x=16

Divide each side by 16 to isolate x

16x/16 =16/16

x =1

6x-14=2-10x\qquad\text{add 14 to both sides}\\\\6x=16-10x\qquad\text{add 10x to both sides}\\\\16x=16\qquad\text{divide both sides by 16}\\\\\boxed{x=1}

Check:\\\\6x-14=6(1)-14=6-14=-8\\\\2-10x=2-10(1)=2-10=-8\\\\CORRECT

A survey of 250 homeless persons showed that 14 were veterans. Find a point estimate for the population proportion of homeless p
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

\hat p =\frac{14}{250}= 0.056

And for this case that represent the 5.6% of the homeless persons who are veterans

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in a survey of 250 homeless persons 14 were veterans. We can find the estimated proportion of homeless persons who are veterans with the following formula:

\hat p =\frac{X}{n}

The last one is an unbiased estimator of the true population proportion p

And replacing the info given we got:

\hat p =\frac{14}{250}= 0.056

And for this case that represent the 5.6% of the homeless persons who are veterans

A soccer field is a rectangle 48 meters wide and 55 meters long. The coach asks players to run from one corner to the corner dia
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Distance = 73 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The length of a rectangle = 48 m

The width of a rectangle = 55 m

We need to find the diagonal distance. We can use the Pythagoras theorem to find it.

d^2=48^2+55^2\\\\d=\sqrt{5329}\\\\d=73\ m

So, the required distance is equal to 73 m.

Problem is in the attached image. Thanks in advance!
lutik1710 [3]

Answer: it will take 2.5 hours for both people to meet after person B leaves.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the house of person A and his cousin's house is 234 miles.

At the point where they meet, they would have travelled 234 miles.

Person A travelled at an average speed of 44 miles per hour.

Let t represent the time spent by Person A in travelling from his house to the point where they meet.

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered by person A would be

44 × t = 44t

One and half hours later, person B leaves his house to visit person A, travelling at an average speed of 62 miles per hour. This means that total time spent by person B in travelling to the point where they meet is (t - 0.5) hours. Distance covered would be

62(t - 0.5) = 62t - 31

Since the total distance covered is 234 miles, then

44t + 62t - 31 = 234

106t = 234 + 31 = 265

t = 265/106 = 2.5 hours
