Answer:

<em>a = - 10</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>3a – 8 = 5a + 12</em>

<em>3a – 8 + 8 = 5a + 12 + 8</em>

<em>3a = 5a + 20</em>

<em>3a - 5a = 5a + 20 - 5a</em>

<em>- 2a = 20</em>

<em />\dfrac{-2a}{-2}=\dfrac{20}{-2}<em />

<em>a = - 10</em>

Find the value of X(2x + 4) (2x-9)
kotykmax [81]

2x +4)° 2x-9)°= 4x  2 +8x−9=3

 Pull out like factors :

  2x + 4  =   2 • (x + 2) (4 • (x + 2) • x) -  9

4x • (x + 2) -  9

Factoring  4x2+8x-9  

The first term is,  4x2  its coefficient is  4 .

The middle term is,  +8x  its coefficient is  8 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -9  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   4 • -9 = -36  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -36  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   8 .

     -36    +    1    =    -35  

     -18    +    2    =    -16  

     -12    +    3    =    -9  

     -9    +    4    =    -5  

     -6    +    6    =    0  

     -4    +    9    =    5  

     -3    +    12    =    9  

     -2    +    18    =    16  

     -1    +    36    =    35

vredina [299]

Answer:

C. One can be​ 95% confident that the true proportion of all students receiving financial aid is between 0.52 and 0.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the confidence interval is a term that defines a range of values with the probability to contain a population value that has an actual degree of confidence.

This is represented in a situation where population means falls in between upper and lower intervals.

Hence, in this case, the correct interpretation is option C: One can be​ 95% confident that the true proportion of all students receiving financial aid is between 0.52 and 0.66
