Answer:

No Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + 3 = 72x + 5

subtract 12x from both sides

end up with

3 = 72x - 12x + 5

subtract 12x to 72x

3 = 60x + 5

-5 from both sides

-8 = 60x

since x is a bigger number the answer would be NO SOLUTION

12x + 3 = 72x + 5

I do not understand lins logic

x + 6 = 7x + 10

subtract 6 from both sides

x = 7x + 4

move 7x to the other side

7x = 4

divide 7

x = 0.5

Also wrong because I get how lin got that answer

My way

12x + 3 = 72x + 5

-12 x from both sides

3 = 60x + 5

+5 to other side

8 = 60x

if the x was on the other side it would make sense

but it is not so the Answer is NO SOLUTION

Hope this Helped :)

For a confidence level of 85%, find the critical value for a normally distributed variable. The sample mean is normally distribu

const2013 [10]

Answer:

The value is $Z_{\alpha } = 1.439$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The confidence level is C = 85%

Generally the level of significance is mathematically represented as

$\alpha = (100 - 85 )\%$

$\alpha = 0.15$

Now from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\alpha$ is

$Z_{\alpha } = 1.439$

Which numbers are solutions to the inequality below?

babunello [35]

Answer:

4, 5 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 19 to both sides:

Divide by -4

x > -13 (Flip the sign when multiplying or diving by a negative)

4, 5 and 6 satisfy this

Round 10,386.145 to the nearest tenth

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Rounded to the nearest tenth would be one since the four isn't higher. So the answer would be 10,386.1. You did mean the tenths place right?? because could have also meant tenth(8)

Find the domain of f/g

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

C. All real numbers except 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

$f(x)=3x^2+x^4+2$

$g(x)=4x-3$

Firstly, we will find f/g

$\frac{f}{g}=\frac{3x^2+x^4+2}{4x-3}$

Domain:

We know that domain is all possible values of x for which any function is defined

so, we know that denominator of any function can not be zero

so, firstly we set denominator =0

and then we can solve for x

$4x-3=0$

Add both sides by 3

$4x-3+3=0+3$

$4x=3$

$x=\frac{3}{4}$

so, this function is defined for all values of x except at

$x=\frac{3}{4}$

Domain will be

All real numbers except 3/4
