Answer:
These types of questions are not daunting if you break it down. First look at "Five less than twice the value of a number."
"Twice the value of a number" is simply 2x.
"Five less" is simply -5, so for the first part we have (2x-5)
Next, analyze the second part. "Three times the quantity of four more than one half the number."
Looking at "Three times the quantity" simply means "3 times something".
"the quantity of four more than one half the number" is 4 + "one half the number" or 4 + (1/2)x.
So the second part is simply 3(4+x/2).
Finally we finish the entire equation, (2x-5) = 3(4+x/2) then solve for x.
2x-5 = 12 + (3/2)x
2x-(3/2)x = 17
x/2 = 17
x=34
Checking the left side, (2x-5) = 2(34) - 5 = 63.
Checking the right side, 3(4+(34/2)) = 3(4+17) = 3(21) = 63.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x < 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- ax + 4b > 9 ( isolate the term in x by subtracting 4b from both sides )
- ax > 9 - 4b ( divide both sides by - a )
Remembering to reverse the inequality symbol when dividing by a negative quantity, thus
x <
1/3(9)(10) = 30in^2
Hope it helps, you just have to plug in the values into formula given
Solution :
Given data :
The mean length of the steel rod = 29 centimeter (cm)
The standard deviation of a normally distributed lengths of rods = 0.07 centimeter (cm)
a). We are required to find the proportion of rod that have a length of less than 28.9 centimeter (cm).
Therefore, P(x < 28.9) = P(z < (28.9-29) / 0.07)
= P(z < -1.42)
= 0.0778
b). Any rods which is shorter than 
cm or longer than 
cm that re discarded.
Therefore,
P (x < 24.84 or 25.16 < x) = P( -59.42 < z or -54.85)
= 1.052
