if the product of 4 and a number is decreased by 12, the result is twice the opposite of the number. Find the number. EXPLAIN PL
ELEN [110]
Answer:  The number is:  "2 " .
__________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________
Write the expression; which is an equation, as follows:
__________________________________________
     " 4x <span>− 12 = 2(-x) " ;  in which "x" represents "the number for which we shall                                       solve" .
___________________________________________
Note:  

If the "number" = "x" ;  the "opposite of the number"  =  " -x " ;
</span>___________________________________________
Rewrite as:  " 4x <span>− 12 = -2x " ;
</span>_____________________________________________
     →  Add "12" ; & add "2x" ; to EACH SIDE of the equation:

                      4x − 12 + 12 + 2x = -2x + 12 + 2x ;

           to get:    6x  = 12  ;
____________________________________________________
 Now, divide each side of the equation by "6" ; 
     to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
____________________________________________________
                         6x / 6  =  12 / 6 ;

                    to get:    x = 2 .
____________________________________________________
Answer:  The number is:  "2 " .
____________________________________________________
Let us check our answer, by plugging in "2" for "x" in our original equation:
_____________________________________________________
        →   " 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ;

  Let us plug in "2" for "x" ; to see if the equation holds true; that is; if both side of the equation are equal; when "x = 2" ;

        →   " 4(2) − 12 = ?  2(-2) ?? 

        →    8 − 12 = ?  -4 ? ;
 
        →    -4 = ? -4 ??  Yes!

5(x-3) = 2(x+3) solve for x
sattari [20]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x - 3) = 2(x + 3)                     Distribute

5x - 15 = 2x + 6                    

    + 15         + 15                     Switch sides to the liked terms

5x = 2x + 6 + 15

-2x  -2x                                   Switch sides to the liked terms

5x - 2x = 6 + 15  

<u>3x</u> = 21                                      Divide

3       3                  

x = 7

Find the standard deviation for the group of data items 4, 4, 4, 4, 6, 8 The standard deviation is (Simplify your answer. Round
marysya [2.9K]

Answer: 1.53

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data : 4, 4, 4, 4, 6, 8

Number of data values : n= 6

The mean value of the given data will be  :-

\overline{x}=\dfrac{\sum_{i=1}^{6}x_i}{n}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \overline{x}=\dfrac{30}{6}=5

The formula to find standard deviation:_

\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum(x-\overline{x})^2}{n}]

Now,

\sum_{i=1}^{6}(x_i-\overline{x})^2=(-1)^2+(-1)^2+(-1)^2+(-1)^2+(1)^2+(3)^2\\\\=1+1+1+1+1+9=14

The standard deviation will be :-

\sigma=\sqrt{\dfrac{14}{6}}\approx1.53
