The answer would be x ≠ 0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First start with the left side, doing distributive property
So... -2(x) = -2x and -2(5) = -10 Therefore on the left side you now have -2x -10
Next do the same on the right side
-2(x) = - 2x and -2(-2) = 4 so you have -2x + 4 + 5 and you add 4 and 5, leaving you with -2x + 9
Now that you have simplified both sides the problem now looks like this:
-2x - 10 = -2x + 9
Because you have equal terms on both sides (-2) those cancel out so you have -10 = 9
Just from looking at this we know that the statement is false because -1o does not equal 9
*The symbol, "≠" means not equal to"
40
Or at least that what my calculator says.
Answer: 3.496
Explanation: You find the mean, which is 57.714. Next, you subtract the mean from each number in the dataset, |55 - 57.714|, |59 - 57.714|, etc. You then add all of those numbers together and divide them by the amount of numbers like you would determining the mean. This gives you 3.496. Also sorry for taking so long to respond I’m on my phone and cannot type as fast as I would on pc.
Sorry about the bad handwriting
