What is the first step In solving a question with variables on both sides

Answer:

  • Identify the variable term on one side and subtract it from both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the question relates to terms containing the variable you want to solve for.

In general, you want to rearrange the equation so there is only one term containing the variable of interest. This can be accomplished by identifying the variable term(s) on one side of the equation and subtracting that from both sides of the equation.

For <u>example</u>, consider ...

  ax + b = cx + d

<u><em>First step</em></u>

Terms ax and cx are on opposite sides of the equal sign. If we're solving for x, we need to remove one of those terms. We can do that by subtracting cx from both sides of the equation:

  ax -cx +b = cx -cx +d  . . . . . showing the subtraction

  x(a -c) +b = d . . . . . . . . . . . . .the simplified result of the subtraction

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Please note that the coefficient of the variable is now (a-c). This will be <em>positive</em> if the term we subtracted (cx) had the smaller of the two coefficients (c < a). While not essential, this is a convenient choice to make when choosing which term to subtract.

Answer:

b) One sample z-test for means

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Distribution

we have μ₀ (population mean from previous studies)

sample size    n  =  100

standar deviation of population   σ  = 0.75

And it was determined from sample, that μ = 5 : so we want to know if, at some significance level that value (which is smaller than population mean ) could help in relation to decide about rejecting hypothesis  H₀

We should use a z one tail-test for means (left tail)

laiz [17]

Answer:

3x^2+15x-1=0

Step-by-step explanation:

4/(3x+15)=4x

4=12x^2+60x

12x^2+60x-4=0

3x^2+15x-1=0

Please solve after that, I cannot do everything for you

Can someone do this please?
amid [387]

Answer:

<1 =73

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees

72+ 35 + <1 = 180

Add like terms

107 + <1 = 180

Subtract 107 from each side

<1 = 180-107

<1 =73
