Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the equation first, 2/3(3x+6)=10

Distribute 2,  2(3x+6)/2

Which equals 6x+12/3=10

Then multiply 3 from both sides 6x+12=30

Subtract 12

6x=18

Divide 6 from both sides

x=3

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number. The problem statement tells you ...

2/3(3x +6) = 10

  2x +4 = 10 . . . . . . use the distributive property

  x +2 = 5 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3

The number is 3.

__

<em>Comment on the solution</em>

The above shows an "alternative" solution method. The more usual way this might be done is ...

  2(3x +6) = 30 . . . . . multiply by 3 to clear fractions

  6x +12 = 30 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  6x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12

  x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6

Trains Two trains, Train A and Train B. weigh a total of 196 tons. Train A is heavier than Train B. The
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Train A = 128

Train B = 68

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a system of equations for this problem

Let A = # of tons of Train A

Let B = # of tons of Train B

A + B = 196

A = B + 60

Now, we plug in A for the first equation, using substitution

(B+60) + B = 196

2B + 60 = 196

Subtract 60 from both sides

2B = 136

Divide both sides by 2

B = 68

Plug in 68 for B in the 2nd equation

A = 68 + 60

A = 128

Checking work: 128 + 68 = 196 :D hope this helped

Answer: 2.)non function 3.)non function 4.) function 5.)non function 6.) non function 7.)function 8.)non function PART B 1.)non function 2.)function 3.) function

Step-by-step explanation: a function is when the domain (x) all each have one answer like (-2.6)(7,4)(8,6) there can be repeating ranges (y) just not domains.

A non function is when one domain (x) has multiple ranges(y) like (7,2)(-9,6)(7,9) the 7 repeats twice giving it two ranges, which causes it to be non functional. hope that helped :))

Lockheed Martin, the defense contractor designs and build communication satellite systems to be used by the U.S. military. Becau
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

P(52

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-0.851

And if we use the normal standard distribution or excel we got:

P(-0.851

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the time required to construct and test a particular component of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(60,9.4)  

Where \mu=60 and \sigma=9.4

We want to find this probability:

P(52

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}

Using this formula we got:

P(52

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-0.851

And if we use the normal standard distribution or excel we got:

P(-0.851
