Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

4/(x + 1) = 3/(x + 2)

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

  1. Cross multiply:                         4(x + 2) = 3(x + 1)
  2. Distribute:                                 4x + 8 = 3x + 3
  3. Subtract 3x on both sides:      x + 8 = 3
  4. Subtract 8 on both sides:        x = -5

Answer:

to solve a proportion, you cross multiply. so you take the numerator of the first one, and multiply it by the denominator of the second one. and then the denominator of the first one is multiplied by the numerator of the second one:

4(x+2)=3(x+1) (set them = and then use the distributive property)

4x+8 = 3x+3 (subtract 3x from both sides)

x +8 = 3 (subtract 8 from both sides)

x= -5  (the answer)

On awall of dimension10.5m long and 8.5 m wide, a square shaped wall posture is stuck at the centre whose one side measures2.5m.
tangare [24]

Answer:

₹996

Step-by-step explanation:

Area painted = area of wall - area of wall posture

Area of a rectangle = length x breadth

= 10.5m x 8.5m = 89.25m^2

Area of a square

length x length

2.5m x 2.5m = 6.25m^2

Area painted =  89.25m^2 -  6.25m^2 = 83m^2

Total cost of area painted = 83m^2 x 12 = 996

What is the correlation coefficient for the data shown in the table?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The correlation coefficient is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the correlation coefficient for the given dataset

from the table, what do we observe?

As x is increasing by 5 units;

y is decreasing by 5 units

What this mean is that there is a negative correlation between both

Thus, what we have here is that, since the rate of increase/decrease on both ends is of equal magnitude but opposite signs, we can conclude that the correlation coefficient is -1

<h3>What is an inference?</h3>

The options are:

He did manifest coding.

He did latent coding.

He should have recorded the base.

He did manifest coding and he should have recorded the base.

It should be noted that an inference simply means the conclusion that can be deduced based on the information given.

In this case, the friend was interested in determining whether the news media noticed campus events and decided to do a content analysis of the local paper.

Therefore, the the person will tell the friend that he did manifest coding and he should have recorded the base.
