Answer:

It has no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we try and solve it we end up with nonsense, so it has no solutions:

4n - 3 = 4n - 2

4n - 4n = - 2 + 3

0 = 1

- which is, of course, absurd.

Also, just by looking at the equation we can see that the term 4n -3 cannot in any way be equal to 4n - 2.

Answer:

The answer is (A); there is no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

It doesn't require any calculations, really, just logic. Look, 4n = 4n wil be equal because they are the same numbers multiplied by the same variable - no matter the variable's value. However, if you subtract both values by different numbers, you won't get the same number:

Let's say n = 5

4n = 4n

= 4(5) = 4(5)

= 20 = 20

Now,

4n - 3 = 4n - 2

= 4(5) - 3 = 4(5) - 2

= 20 - 3 = 20 -2

= 17 ≠ 18

Hope this helps! Tell me if I was wrong!

Three landmarks of baseballachievement are Ty Cobb’s batting average of 0.420 in 1911,Ted Williams’s 0.406 in 1941, and George B

harina [27]

Answer:

Ted Williams has the highest standardized score, hence Williams is the best of the three

Cobb is the second highest and hence, the better player

George Brett is third

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Decade : 1910 __ 1940 ____ 1970

Mean, μ: 0.266 __0.267 ___ 0.261

S/dev, σ : 0.0371 _ 0.0326 __ 0.0317

To compute the standard unit for batting averages, we obtain the standardized score for each of Cobb,Williams, and Brett.

Standardized score (Zscore) : (x - μ) / σ

Cobb, x = 0.420

Ted Williams, x = 0.406

George Brett, x = 0.390

COBB:

Zscore = (0.420 - 0.266) / 0.0371 = 4.1509

Ted Williams :

Zscore = (0.406 - 0.267) / 0.0326 = 4.2638

George, Brett = (0.390 - 0.261) / 0.0317 = 4.0694

Ted Williams has the highest standardized score, hence Williams is the best of the three

Cobb is the second highest and hence, the better player

George Brett is third

A biker traveled 24 miles in 6 hours. A unit rate to describe this would be 4 miles per hour. What is another unit rate in this

padilas [110]

Answer:

(1/4) hr/mile

Step-by-step explanation:

4 mph can be rewritten using other units of measurement:

Suppose we convert 'miles' to 'feet:'

Then:

4 miles 5280 ft

---------- * ------------- = 21120 ft/hr

1 hr 1 mile

Note that we could invert 4 mph and obtain

1 hr

-------- or (1/4) hr/mile

4 mi

??? Anyone know how to answer this question

True [87]

Answer: 35 additional teachers are needed

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

Explanation:

We have 2470 students and the ratio of students to teachers is 26:1. This means that for every teacher, there are 26 students. Put another way, we can set up this ratio

2470/x = 26/1

where x is the number of teachers. Cross multiply and solve for x

2470/x = 26/1
2470*1 = 26*x
2470 = 26x
26x = 2470
26x/26 = 2470/26
x = 95

So we have 95 teachers currently

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

Let y be the new number of teachers needed to bring the ratio down to 19:1

Using a similar idea as done above, we would have this ratio

2470/y = 19/1

Let's solve for y
2470/y = 19/1
2470*1 = 19*y
2470 = 19y
19y = 2470
19y/19 = 2470/19
y = 130

So we'll need 130 teachers to have the ratio be 19:1

The difference of the values is y - x = 130 - 95 = 35, which is the final answer. This is the additional amount of teachers needed.

Help please

ValentinkaMS [17]

Because none of the points on the number line are above 0, we know that the points will be negative.
This eliminates the second and third choices, as they contain positive numbers.
The first point, A, is a number less than -0.5 or -1/2
The first choice matches A with -5/16, which is less than -0.5 or -1/2
Therefore, the fourth choice must be the correct answer.
