Alejandro has gone to school StartFraction 5 Over 7 EndFraction of the last 35 days. Which expression can be used to determine t

Katarina [22]

Answer:

35 times StartFraction 5 Over 7 EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Alejandro has gone to school (5/7) of the last 35 days.

We need to find the expression that can be used to determine the number of days Alejandro has gone to school.

$x=\dfrac{5}{7}\times 35\\\\=5\times 5\\\\=25$

So, the correct option is (b) "35 times StartFraction 5 Over 7 EndFraction".

Which of the following best describes the equation y= -2/7x +12

Lady bird [3.3K]

Linear, because the graph of the line is just a straight line without any curves, and the power of x is 1. If x was raised to the second, third, fourth, etc. power, it would be a nonlinear equation.

Which expressions are equivalent??

Brilliant_brown [7]

Given:

The given expression is $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$

We need to determine the equivalent expression.

Option A: -1

Solving the expression, we get;

$\frac{3}{2} x+14-\frac{3}{2} x+15$

Simplifying, we get;

$14+15=29$

Thus, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is not equivalent to -1.

Hence, Option A is not the correct answer.

Option B: 29

Solving the expression, we get;

$\frac{3}{2} x+14-\frac{3}{2} x+15$

Simplifying, we get;

$14+15=29$

Thus, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is equivalent to 29.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Option C: $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]$

Let us rewrite the given expression.

$2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]$

Thus, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is equivalent to $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]$

Thus, Option C is the correct answer.

Option D: $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+3\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+3(-5)$

Rewriting the expression, we get;

$2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]$

Hence, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is equivalent not to $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+3\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+3(-5)$

Thus, Option D is not the correct answer.

Option E: $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+(-3)\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+(-3)(-5)$

Multiplying the terms within the bracket, we get;

$2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+(-3)\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+(-3)(-5)$

Hence, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is equivalent to $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+(-3)\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+(-3)(-5)$

Thus, Option E is the correct answer.

11. In a sample of n=6, five individuals all have scores of X=10 and the sixth person has a score of x=16. What is the mean for

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a sample of n=6, five individuals all have scores of X=10 and the sixth person has a score of x=16

i.e. the data entries are

10,10,10,10,10,16

Sum = 66

No of items n = 6

Average = sum/no of entries

= $\frac{66}{6} \\=11$

Average is 11.

mean of this sample is 11
