<span>-2x – 4 < 10
add 4 to both sides
-2x - 4 + 4 < 10 + 4
simplify
-2x < 14
divide both sides by -2
-2x/-2 < 14/-2
simplify
x < -7</span>
Splashtown: 25 + 1x
Schlitterbahn: 40
25 + 1x = 40
-25 -25
0 1x = 15
x = 15
So after 15 rides, Schlitterbahn would be cheaper than Splashtown.
The distance from your house to your grandparents house is
3.67 miles or 19377.6 ft.
So the total number of strides needed would be:
strides needed = 19377.6 ft / (2.6 ft / stride)
<span>strides needed = 7,452.92 = 7,453 strides</span>
Try this solution:
1. m∠A=m∠L; m∠B=m∠M and m∠C=m∠N;
2. m∠B=m∠M=35° and m∠C=m∠N=95°;
3. m∠A=m∠L=180°-(m∠B+m∠C)=180-35-95=50°
answer: 50°
Let's attack this problem using the z-score concept. The sample std. dev. here is (0.25 oz)/sqrt(40), or 0.040. Thus, the z score representing 3.9 oz. is
3.9 - 4.0
z = -------------- = -2.5
0.040
In one way or another we must find the area under the std. normal curve that lies to the left of z = -2.5. Use a table of z-scores or a calculator with built-in statistics functions. According to my TI-83 Plus calculator, that area is
0.006. One way of interpreting this that with so small a standard deviation, most volumes of coffee put into the jars are very close to the mean, 4 oz.
