Now we have to,

find the required value of x.

Let's begin,

→ 3x-2 = 2(x-5)

→ 3x-2 = 2x-10

→ 3x-2x = -10+2

→ x = -8

Hence, value of x is -8.

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2 = 2 ( x + 5

Solve for x.

Let's solve,

3x - 2 = 2 ( x + 5 )

Step 1:- Distribute 2.

3x - 2 = 2 × x + 2 × 5

3x - 2 = 2x - 10

Step 2 :- Move constant to the right-hand and change their sign.

3x = 2x - 10 + 2

Step 3:- Add -10 and 2.

3x = 2x - 8

Step 4 :- Move variable to the left-hand side and change their sign.

3x - 2x = -8

Step 5 :- Subtract 2x from 2x.

x = -8

Hence, value of x = -8.

Find the value of (-4)(6)(-7) -178 168 178 -168

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

168

Explanation:

Before we begin, remember the following:

+ve * +ve = +ve -ve * -ve = +ve

+ve * -ve = -ve -ve * +ve = +ve

Now, for the given problem we have:

(-4) * (6) * (-7)

Let's take the first two terms:

(-4) * (6)

Based on the above rules, the product will be negative

Therefore,

(-4) * (6) = -24

Now, the expression became:

(-24) * (-7)

Again, based on the above rule, the product here will be positive

Therefore,

(-24) * (-7) = 168

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The investment grows by 12 percent every year. Therefore, if you multiply the 1500 by 0.12 you should get the value of the amount of extra money made in one year. If you substitute 2 into t you get the value increased by year 2 and so on.

Assume that foot lengths of women are normally distributed with a mean of 9.6 in and a standard deviation of 0.5 in.a. Find the

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

a) 78.81% probability that a randomly selected woman has a foot length less than 10.0 in.

b) 78.74% probability that a randomly selected woman has a foot length between 8.0 in and 10.0 in.

c) 2.28% probability that 25 women have foot lengths with a mean greater than 9.8 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 9.6, \sigma = 0.5$ .
