Answer:

x = 381/24 = 3 29/84

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 1/2(x + 1/4) = 3(6x - 9) - 8

<em>Use the distributive property to multiply 1/2 by x + 1/4.</em>

7x + 1/2x + 1/8 = 3(6x - 9) - 8

<em>Combine 7x (14/2x) and 1/2x to get 15/2</em>.

15/2x + 1/8 = 3(6x - 9) - 8

<em>Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 6x - 9.</em>

15/2x + 1/8 = 18x - 27 - 8

<em>Subtract 8 from -27 to get -35.</em>

15/2x + 1/8 = 18x - 35

<em>Subtract 18x from both sides.</em>

-21/2x + 1/8 = -35

<em>Subtract 1/8 from both sides.</em>

-21/2x = -35 - 1/8

<em>-35 is the same as -280/8</em>.

-21/2x = (-280 - 1)/8

<em>Subtract 1 from -280 to get -281.</em>

-21/2x = -281/8

<em>Multiply both sides by -2/21 (reciprocal of -21/2).</em>

x = (-281 * -2)/(8 * 21)<em> </em>

<em>You can cross cancel -2 and 8</em> <em>by extracting 2 (they become -1 and 4 respectively).</em>

x = (-281 * -1)/(4 * 21)

<em>Multiply -281 by -1 to get 281.</em>

x = 281/(4 * 21)

<em>Multiply 4 by 21 to get 84.</em>

x = 281/84

<em>Can this fraction be simplified into a mixed number? Yes it can. It becomes 3 29/84. (252 (3 * 84) + 29 = 281)</em>

x = 3 29/84

Work check: x is substituted for 281/84 (convenience)

7 * 281/84 + 1/2(281/84 + 1/4) = 3((6 * 281)/84 - 9) - 8

1967/84 + 1/2(281/84 + 1/4) = 3((6 * 281)/84 - 9) - 8

1967/84 + 1/2(302/84) = 3((6 * 281)/84 - 9) - 8

(1967 + 151)/84 = 3((6 * 281)/84 - 9) - 8

2118/84 = 3(1686/84 - 9) - 8

2118/84 = 3((1686 - 756)/84) - 8

2118/84 = 3(930/84) - 8

2118/84 = 2790/84 - 672/84

2118/84 = (2790 - 672)/84

2118/84 = 2118/84

So x = 3 29/84 is correct.

Which property justifies this question -5 x 12 = 12 x -5
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Commutative Property of Multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

Commutative Property of Multiplication is the switching of the order first factor  (multiplicand) and the second factor (multiplier), which does not change the product. For example, 4 × 5 = 5 × 4

-5 × 12 = -60

12 × -5 = -60

Use Pascal’s Triangle to determine the fifth term of the expansion of (x + 3)7
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

2835x^5.

Step-by-step explanation:

By Binomial Theorem, T(r+1) = nCr * a^(r+1) * b^r.

Term 5 = 7C4 * x^5 * 3^4

= 35 * x^5 * 3^4

= 2835x^5.

The size of the left upper chamber of the heart is one measure of cardiovascular health. When the upper left chamber is enlarged
Temka [501]

Answer:

a) 0.283  or 28.3%

b) 0.130 or 13%

c) 0.4 or 40%

d) 30.6 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

z-score of a single left atrial diameter value of healthy children can be calculated as:

z=\frac{X-M}{s} where

  • X is the left atrial diameter value we are looking for its z-score
  • M is the mean left atrial diameter of healthy children (26.7 mm)
  • s is the standard deviation (4.7 mm)

Then

a) proportion of healthy children who have left atrial diameters less than 24 mm

=P(z<z*) where z* is the z-score of 24 mm

z*=\frac{24-26.7}{4.7} ≈ −0.574

And P(z<−0.574)=0.283

b) proportion of healthy children who have left atrial diameters greater than 32 mm

= P(z>z*) = 1-P(z<z*) where z* is the z-score of 32 mm

z*=\frac{32-26.7}{4.7} ≈ 1.128

1-P(z<1.128)=0.8703=0.130

c) proportion of healthy children have left atrial diameters between 25 and 30 mm

=P(z(25)<z<z(30)) where z(25), z(30) are the z-scores of 25 and 30 mm

z(30)=\frac{30-26.7}{4.7} ≈ 0.702

z(25)=\frac{25-26.7}{4.7} ≈ −0.362

P(z<0.702)=0.7587

P(z<−0.362)=0.3587

Then P(z(25)<z<z(30)) =0.7587 - 0.3587 =0.4

d) to find the value for which only about 20% have a larger left atrial diameter, we assume

P(z>z*)=0.2 or 20% where z* is the z-score of the value we are looking for.

Then P(z<z*)=0.8 and z*=0.84. That is

0.84=\frac{X-26.7}{4.7}  solving this equation for X we get X=30.648
