♡ The Question ♡      

・3 (x + 4) = x - 8 - 2x

・x = -5

*୨୧ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ୨୧*      

♡ The Explanation/Step-By-Step ♡      

・3 (x + 4) = x - 8 - 2x

3 (x + 4) = x - 2x - 8

3 (x + 4) = -x - 8

3 (x + 4): 3x + 12

Apply the distributive law! : a(b + c) = ab + ac

a = 3, b = x, c = 4

= 3x + 3 x 4

Multiply: 3 x 4 = 12

= 3x + 12

3x + 12 = -x - 8

Subtract 12 from both sides!

3x + 12 - 12 = -x - 8 - 12

Simplify!

3x = -x - 20

Add x to both sides!

3x + x = -x - 20 + x

Simplify!

4x/4 = -20/4

Simplify 4x/4 : x

Divide the numbers!

4/4 = 1 = x

Simplify!

-20/4 : -5

-20/4

Apply the fraction rule! : -a/b = -a/b

= -20/4

Divide the numbers!

20/4 = 5

= -5

x = -5

A set of data items is normally distributed with a mean of 400 and a standard deviation of 60. Find the data item in this distri
Softa [21]

Answer:

The data item is X = 580

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 400 and a standard deviation of 60.

This means that \mu = 400, \sigma = 60

z=3

We have to find X when Z = 3. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

3 = \frac{X - 400}{60}

X - 400 = 3*60

X = 580

The data item is X = 580
