Answer:

1. x=6

2. x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

$-2(3x+9)=-54\\-6x-18=-54\\+18 +18\\-6x=-36\\\frac{-6x}{-6} = \frac{-36}{-6}\\x=6$

$2(3x+4)-3x=35\\6x+8-3x=35\\3x+8=35\\-8 -8\\3x=27\\\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{27}{3} \\x=9$

<u>Written Explanation: </u>

-2x(3x+9)=-54

-6x-`8=54 (Distributive property)

Add 18 to both sides

-6x=-36

Divide both sides by -6 (negative divided by a negative equals a positive)

x=6

2(3x+4)-3x=35

6x+8-3x=35 (distributive property)

3x+8=35 (combine Iike terms and then subtract them 6x-3x=3x)

Subtract 8 from both sides

3x=27

Divide both sides by 3

x=9

Answer: yes

Step-by-step explanation:

It is because for every x value there is a y and the x value does not repeat to any y values.

Answer:

sides: 12 feet
front: 28 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of one side of the yard. Then the width of the yard is 2x+4, and the perimeter is ...

P = 2(L +W) . . . . . . . . . . formula for perimeter of a rectangle

80 = 2(x + (2x+4)) . . . . . with values from the problem filled in

40 = 3x +4 . . . . . . . . divide by 2, collect terms

36 = 3x . . . . . . . . . subtract 4

12 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 3. This is the length of the side fence.

2x +4 = 2(12) +4 = 28

The fence is 12 feet on the sides and 28 feet on the front. (Its total length is 52 feet.)

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

a) $P(5$

And we can find this probability with this difference:

$P(-1.90$

And using the norma standard distribution or excel we got:

$P(-1.90$

b) $P(X>6) =P(Z> \frac{6-7.37}{1.25}) = P(Z>-1.096)$

And using the complement rule we got:

$P(Z>-1.096) =1-P(Z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(7.37,1.25)$

Where $\mu=7.37$ and $\sigma=1.25$

We are interested on this probability

$P(5$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(5$

And we can find this probability with this difference:

$P(-1.90$

And using the norma standard distribution or excel we got:

$P(-1.90$

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

$P(X>6)$

And we can use the z score and we got:

$P(X>6) =P(Z> \frac{6-7.37}{1.25}) = P(Z>-1.096)$

And using the complement rule we got:

$P(Z>-1.096) =1-P(Z$

If 97 of 200 is 100% then how much of 200 is 112%

pickupchik [31]

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 112 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 112 is 100%, so we can write it down as 112=100%.
4. We know, that x is 200% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=200%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 112=100%
2) x=200%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
112/x=100%/200%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 200% of 112

112/x=100/200
(112/x)*x=(100/200)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
112=0.5*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.5) to get x
112/0.5=x
224=x
x=224

now we have:
200% of 112=224
