Before we do this problem, let's go over a little algebra terminology.

The number in front of your variable is called your <em>coefficient </em>and notice that the <em>x</em> at the end of the problem does not have a coefficient.

When that happens, when there is no number in front of your variable, you can put a 1 there to fill that position. So -x can be thought of as -1x.

Next let's change all our minus signs to plus negatives.

So the problem reads 3x + 5 + 7x + -3 + -1x + 2.

Now let's simplify this by combining like terms.

We can combine our "x" terms first.

3x + 7x + -1x simplifies to +9x.

Now, 5 + -3 + 2 simplifies to 4.

So our answer is 9x + 4.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (1/3, -1) and ( -2, 9/2)

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

$\boxed{m = - \frac{33}{14} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the form below

$\boxed{\boxed{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }}$

Where

$m$ is a slope
$(x_1,~y_1)$ and $(x_2,~y_2)$ are the point of the line

So, the slope is

$(\frac{1}{3} ,~ -1) \to x_1 = \frac{1}{3} ~and~y_1 = -1$

$(-2,~ \frac{9}{2} ) \to x_2 = -2~and~y_2 = \frac{9}{2}$

$m = \frac{\frac{9}{2} -(-1)}{-2-\frac{1}{3} }$

$m = \frac{\frac{11}{2} }{\frac{-7}{3} }$

$m = \frac{11}{2} \div (-\frac{7}{3} )$

$m = \frac{11}{2} \times (-\frac{3}{7} )$

$m = - \frac{33}{14}$

Answer:

2.083 < µ1 - µ2 < 5.917

Step-by-step explanation:

We will need to construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference of 2 means where the populations are normally distributed, and their variances are equal.

The calculations of the sample means and standard deviations are done for us.

Sample 1: Catalyst 1

n = 12, x = 85, s = 4

Sample 2: Catalyst 2

n = 10, x = 81, s = 5

See attached photo for the construction of the confidence interval...

two angles are supplementary one angle measures 75% more than twice the measure of the other what are the measurement of the two

valkas [14]

Let's call the angles x and y. We know that supplementary angles must add to 180 degrees, so x+y=180.

Furthermore, we know that x is 75% more than 2y. We can write "75% more than" numerically as 1.75, so x = 1.75(2y).

We can simplify the second equation by multiplying 1.75 and 2 together to get x = 3.5y.

Now we can solve the system of equations by substitution by plugging 3.5y in for x in x+y=180.

(3.5y) + y = 180

Combine like terms.

4.5y = 180

Divide by 4.5

y = 40

Plug y = 40 in and solve for x.

x + 40 = 180

x = 140

The answer is 40 and 140. Hope this helps :)
