3x−8−12x=42 what is x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
MA_775_DIABLO [31]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = -50/9    

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

3x - 8 - 12x = 42

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Combine like terms:                    -9x - 8 = 42
  2. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                              -9x = 50
  3. Isolate <em>x</em>:                                        x = -50/9

A line passes through the point (2,3) and has a slope of -2. Which is the equation of the line in point-slope form?
almond37 [142]

Answer:

7-2x=y

Step-by-step explanation:

When a point passes through a line it satisfies its equation

(X-x0 )m= y-y0

Slope = m = -2

(X-2 )(-2)=y-3

4-2x=y-3

7-2x=y

Jensen Tire &amp; Auto is in the process of deciding whether to purchase a maintenance contract for its new computer wheel align
sasho [114]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The given data corresponds to the variables

Y:  Annual Maintenance  Expense ($100s)

X: Weekly Usage  (hours)

n= 10

∑X= 253; ∑X²= 7347; \frac{}{X}= ∑X/n= 253/10= 25.3 Hours

∑Y= 346.50; ∑Y²= 13010.75; \frac{}{Y}= ∑Y/n= 346.50/10= 34.65 $100s

∑XY= 9668.5

a)

To estimate the slope and y-intercept you have to apply the following formulas:

b= \frac{sumXY-\frac{(sumX)(sumY)}{n} }{sumX^2-\frac{(sumX)^2}{n} } = \frac{9668.5-\frac{253*346.5}{10} }{7347-\frac{(253)^2}{10} }= 0.95

a= \frac{}{Y} -b\frac{}{X} = 34.65-0.95*25.3= 10.53

^Y= a + bX

^Y= 10.53 + 0.95X

b)

H₀: β = 0

H₁: β ≠ 0

α:0.05

F= \frac{MS_{Reg}}{MS_{Error}} ~~F_{Df_{Reg}; Df_{Error}}

F= 47.62

p-value: 0.0001

To decide using the p-value you have to compare it against the level of significance:

If p-value ≤ α, reject the null hypothesis.

If p-value > α, do not reject the null hypothesis.

The decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

At a 5% significance level you can conclude that the average annual maintenance expense of the computer wheel alignment and balancing machine is modified when the weekly usage increases one hour.

b= 0.95 $100s/hours is the variation of the estimated average annual maintenance expense of the computer wheel alignment and balancing machine is modified when the weekly usage increases one hour.

a= 10.53 $ 100s is the value of the average annual maintenance expense of the computer wheel alignment and balancing machine when the weekly usage is zero.

c)

The value that determines the % of the variability of the dependent variable that is explained by the response variable is the coefficient of determination. You can calculate it manually using the formula:

R^2 = \frac{b^2[sumX^2-\frac{(sumX)^2}{n} ]}{[sumY^2-\frac{(sumY)^2}{n} ]} = \frac{0.95^2[7347-\frac{(253)^2}{10} ]}{[13010.75-\frac{(346.50)^2}{10} ]} = 0.86

This means that 86% of the variability of the annual maintenance expense of the computer wheel alignment and balancing machine is explained by the weekly usage under the estimated model ^Y= 10.53 + 0.95X

d)

Without usage, you'd expect the annual maintenance expense to be $1053

If used 100 hours weekly the expected maintenance expense will be 10.53+0.95*100= 105.53 $100s⇒ $10553

If used 1000 hours weekly the expected maintenance expense will be $96053

It is recommendable to purchase the contract only if the weekly usage of the computer is greater than 100 hours weekly.
