Step-by-step explanation:

✧ $\large{ \tt{ \: \frac{1}{2} x + 2 = \frac{3}{2} x - 6}}$

We need to get rid of the fractions. Notice that there are 4 terms in the equation. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to get rid of the fractions. Multiply by 2 because 2 is the denominator.

⤑ $\large{ \tt{2( \frac{1}{2} x + 2) = 2( \frac{3}{2} x - 6)}}$

⤑ $\large{ \tt{x + 4 = 3x - 12}}$

Subtract 4 from both sides in order to isolate the variable on the left.

⤑ $\large{ \tt{x + 4 - 4 = 3x - 12 - 4}}$

⤑ $\large{ \tt{x = 3x - 16}}$

Move 3x to left hand side and change it's sign

⤑ $\large {\tt{x - 3x = - 16}}$

Subtract 3x from 1x

⤑ $\large{ \tt{ - 2x = - 16}}$

Divide both sides of the equation by -2

⤑ $\large{ \tt{ \frac{ - 2x}{ - 2} = \frac{ - 16}{ - 2}}}$

⤑ $\large{ \tt{x = 8}}$

Answer:

30 and 20 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of sofas to be built be s and the number of recliners be r.

For the time part, we have the following equation:

8s + 6r = 340

For the money part:

180s + 105r = 6750

Now let’s solve these equations simultaneously.

Let’s change the form of the second equation:

180s + 17.5(6r) = 6750

From the first equation, 6r = 340 - 8s

Insert this into the third equation

180s + 17.5(340-8s) = 6750

180s + 5950 - 140s = 6750

40s = 6750 - 5950

40s = 800

s = 20

Substitute the value into the first equation

8(20) + 6r = 340

6r + 160 = 340

6r = 180

r = 30

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

$0.104 - 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.104(1-0.104)}{250}}=0.054$

$0.104 + 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.104(1-0.104)}{250}}=0.154$

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.054;0.154) . So we are confident at 99% that the true proportion of people that they did work at home at least once per week is between 0.054 and 0.154

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can estimate the population proportion of people that they did work at home at least once per week with this formula:

$\hat p = \frac{X}{n}= \frac{26}{250}= 0.104$

We need to find the critical value using the normal standard distribution the z distribution. Since our condifence interval is at 99%, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58$

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$

If we replace the values obtained we got:

$0.104 - 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.104(1-0.104)}{250}}=0.054$

$0.104 + 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.104(1-0.104)}{250}}=0.154$

2) The difference between these temperatures 212-32=180
180

Any number that is more than 32 and less than 212 is between this temperatures.
For example 40, and 136 lie between 32 and 212.

3) 1000, 100, 10, 1...
We can see that every next number 10 times less than previous number,
so after 1 should be 1/10=0.1
If it is written as fraction 1/10, if it is written as decimal 0.1.</span>
