Answer:

x = -36.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3x - 8 = 1/2(x - 12) + 4

multiplying through by the LCM 6;

6 × 1/3x - 6 × 8 = 6 × 1/2(x - 12) + 6 × 4

2x - 48 = 3(x - 12) + 24

2x - 48 = 3x - 36 + 24

2x - 48 = 3x - 12

-48 + 12 = 3x - 2x

-36 = x

hence x = -36.

Answer:

x = -36

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute 1/2 to x - 12 first to get 1/2x - 6. Combine -6 and 4 together to get -2. Your equation should now be 1/3x - 8 = 1/2x - 2. Subtract 1/3x on both sides to get 1/6x. Add 2 on both sides to get -6. Since you are dividing a fraction number, you want to do the opposite and instead multiply 6 on both sides to get your x value which is -36.

Answer: the value of the test statistic is 2.11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

sample mean x" = 95

standard deviation σ = 3

sample size n = 40

Null hypothesis H₀ : μ = 94

Alternative hypothesis H₁ : μ ≠ 94

Level of significance ∝ = 0.02

Test statistic value

z = (x" - μ) / ( σ/√n)

we substitute

z = (95 - 94) / ( 3/√40)

z = 1 / 0.4743

z = 2.11

Therefore, the value of the test statistic is 2.11

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

the ladder will make a right angle triangle with the house. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the ladder, 20 ft, and the height of the triagnle is 18 ft.

Solve for the base of the right angle triangle using pythagorean's theorem:

c=20, a=18, b=?

$b^{2}=c^{2} - a^{2}\\b^{2}=20^{2} - 18^{2}$
