2 (x – 4) = -5 How do I do this

1 answer:

8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

your going to distribute the 2 to the x and the four your equation will then become (2x-8)=-5 you would then do the opposite of subtraction which is add so add +8 to the -8 and that cancels it out then you would +8 to the -5 and get 2x=3 then I'm confused from there hope that helps kinda

Write the number below (81) as a power with a base of 3 and a base of 9

likoan [24]

Answer:

base of 3 --> 3^4 (three to the fourth); base of 9 --> 9^2 (nine squared)

Step-by-step explanation:

3 x 3 = 9 x 3 = 27 x 3 = 81 = 3^4

You multiply 3 by itself 4 times.

9 x 9 = 81 = 9^2

You multiply 9 by itself 2 times.

The following data show the prices of different types of outfits at a store: $2, $2, $28, $26, $25, $27, $25, $27, $26, $28, $30

Tcecarenko [31]

2, 2, 25, 25, 26, 26, 27, 28, 28, 30
Minimum: 2
Maximum: 30
Median: 26
Lower quartile: 25
Upper quartile: 28

The box plot will have its left tail longer than the right tail because a few exceptionally low prices make the distribution skewed to the left.
