Answer:

x= 12

Step-by-step explanation:

work backwards to find x. you start with 40, then subtract 16. now you have 2x= 24. now you have to figure out what multiplied by 2 is 24. 24 divided by 2 is 12, there is the answer. x=12. Always check your work, solve it normally replacing x with 12.

2 x 12 + 16 =40

24 + 16 = 40

40.

Answer:x=12

Step-by-step explanation:subtract 16 from both sides (16-16=0) (40-16=24)

2x=24 divide 2 to both sides (2/2=0) (24/2=12) hope i explained it correctly.

you always need to get x by itself so whatever is in from of x divide that by what ever is behind the equal(=) sign.

Find the equation of the line using the point-slope formula. Write all the final equations

vivado [14]

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to find the slope by lining up the points vertically and subtract, then put 2nd difference over first.

Also you could just use $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ . It is the same thing.

( 5 , 5)

-( 1 , 3)

--------------

4 2

So the slope is 2/4 or 1/2 after reducing.

The point-slope form a line is

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ with a point on the line $(x_1,y_1)=(1,3)$ given and with slope $m=\frac{1}{2}$ given.

$y-3=\frac{1}{2}(x-1)$

We are going to solve this for y and simplify what we can because our goal is y=mx+b; this is slope-intercept form. It is called that because it tells us the slope,m, and the y-intercept,b.

Distribute:

$y-3=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}$

Add 3 on both sides:

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}+3$

Simplify:

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{5}{2}$

Which is a correct statement about the description “two less than the quotient of a number cubed and sixteen, increased by eight

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The correct expression is $\frac{n^{3}}{16}-2+8$

The value when $n=4$ is $10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> a number

we know that

The algebraic expression of “two less than the quotient of a number cubed and sixteen, increased by eight” is equal to

$\frac{n^{3}}{16}-2+8$

For $n=4$

Substitute the value of n in the expression

$\frac{4^{3}}{16}-2+8$

$4-2+8$

$10$

The value when $n=4$ is $10$

in a significance test of one population mean if vairance of population is unknown but the sample size is 30 or more we use z te

Talja [164]

The student T distribution would be used since we don't know the population variance (by extension the population standard deviation).

However, if n > 30, then the student T distribution is going to look very similar to the standard normal Z distribution. It won't be a perfect match, but it'll be close enough that it's more simple to use the Z distribution. With the Z distribution, you only have one set of values and you don't have to worry about the degrees of freedom.
