Answer:
6x - 4 = 32. The variable (times a number) is equal to 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
So this equation is basically asking you to formulate an equation using only the words given. For this equation, let's use a variable in place of the part where it says "times a number." When a question says that phrase, that means that they are telling you to use a variable in place of a mystery number. A variable is a letter in place of a mystery number. Knowing this, let's now solve the equation. We will use the variable x in place of our mystery number.
Four less than 6 times a number: 6x - 4 _ __.
Now we can add the equal sign and the 32: 6x - 4 = 32.
We can now solve. Add 4 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the -4:
6x - 4 = 32
<u>+4 + 4</u>
6x = 36
Now we divide 6 into both sides of the equation to single out the x.
<u>6x = 36</u>
6 6
36/6 = 6, so:
x = 6
I hope that this helps.
Cost per meter(C) = $60/m
Length of rectangular field(L) = 50m
L = 2W
-> W = L/2
-> W = 50/2
-> Width of rectangular field = 25m
Cost of one field length(l) = L x C
-> l = 50 x 60
-> l = $3000
Two of the lengths of the field = 2 x l
-> 2 x $3000
-> $6000
Cost of one field width(w) = W x C
-> w = 25 x 60
-> w = $1500
Two of the widths of the field = 2 x w
-> 2 x $1500
-> $3000
Cost of fencing entire field = $6000+$3000
Hence, total field cost = $9000
Answer: 5:4
Step-by-step explanation: you divide them i believe :)
Answer:
It is an unusual result contradicting the national survey.
Step-by-step explanation:
National survey showed 44% of college students who drink.
The professor's survey showed that 96/244 = 39% drink.
The professor's survey deviated from the national survey is 5% (44% - 39%) representing about 0.25% (5% squared) variance.
Standard deviation is the spread of a set of numbers from their mean. In other words, it measures how far an observed value is from the mean. It can be calculated by getting the square root of the variance.
