Can someone help me with this math problem it’s asking to solve for x

If a 100.8g cement bag has 20.35 kg removed from it. what is the new weight of the bag

kykrilka [37]

100.80 kg - 20.35 kg = 80.45 kg . . . . the new weight of the bag

It's a pretty straightforward subtraction problem. As with any decimal addition or subtraction, you line up the decimal points and extend any numbers with zeros to make the number of decimal places match.

Solve each quadratic equation by completing the square. 6. x2 + 2x = 8 7. x2 - 6x = 16 8. x2 - 18x = 19 9. x2 + 3x = 3 10. x2 +

Lets get started :)

These questions have asked us to solve by completing the square.
How do we? I have attached a picture, which will explain

6. x² + 2x = 8
→ b is the coefficient of x, which is 2
→ We take half of 2 and square it. Then, we add it to either side

x² + 2x $+ (\frac{2}{2} )^2 = 8 + ( \frac{2}{2})^2$
x² + 2x + 1 = 8 + 1
( x + 1 )( x + 1 ) = 9
( x + 1 )² = 9
$\sqrt{( x + 1 )^2} = \sqrt{9}$
x + 1 = + 3 or x + 1 = - 3
x = 2 or x = - 4

7. x² - 6x = 16

→ We do the same thing we did in the previous question

x² - 6x + $(\frac{6}{2})^2 = 16 + (\frac{6}{2})^2$
x² - 6x + 9 = 16 + 9
(x - 3)² = 25
$\sqrt{(x-3)^2} = \sqrt{25}$
x - 3 = + 5 or x - 3 = - 5
x = 8 or x = - 2

8. x² - 18x = 19

x² - 18x + $( \frac{18}{2} )^2 = 19 + ( \frac{18}{2})^2$
x² - 18x + 81 = 19 + 81
( x - 9 )( x - 9 ) = 100
( x - 9 )² = 100
$\sqrt{(x-9)^2} = \sqrt{100}$
x - 9 = + 10 or x - 9 = -10
x = 19 or x = - 1

9. x² + 3x = 3

x² + 3x + $( \frac{3}{2} )^2 = 3 + (\frac{3}{2} )$
$x^2 + 3x + \frac{9}{4} = 3 + \frac{9}{4}$
$x^{2} + 3x + \frac{9}{4} = \frac{21}{4}$
$(x^2 + \frac{3}{2} ) ( x^2 + \frac{3}{2} ) = \frac{21}{4}$
$( x^2 + \frac{3}{2} )^2 = \frac{21}{4}$
$\sqrt{ x^2 + \frac{3}{2} } = \sqrt{ \frac{21}{4} }$
x + $\frac{3}{2}$ = + $\frac{ \sqrt{21} }{2}$ or x + $\frac{3}{2} = - \frac{ \sqrt{21} }{2}$
x = $\frac{-3+ \sqrt{21} }{2}$ or x = $\frac{-3 - \sqrt{21}}{2}$

A recent survey concluded that the proportion of american teenagers who have a cell phone is 0.27. the true population proportio

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The mean for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is 0.29

The standard deviation for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is 0.01435

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is always equal to the true population proportion, in this case; p = 0.29

The standard deviation for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is calculated as;

$\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }$

Using the given values;

p = 0.29

1 - p = 0.71

n = 1000

The standard deviation becomes;

$\sqrt{\frac{(0.29)(1-0.29)}{1000} } \\$

The s.d becomes 0.01435

Solve. x + 9 = –15 x = [1] <br><br> help please

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 9 = -15x = [1]

x - x + 9 = -15x -x = 1

9 - 1 = -16x

8 = 16x

8/16 = 16/16x

1/2 = x

Hope this helps
