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

Mathematics

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.

Use the given information to find the p-value. also use a0.05 significance level and state the conclusion about the null hypothe
omeli [17]

Answer:

(a) C: 0.0465 ; reject the null hypothesis

(b) B: 0.3409 ; fail to reject the null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, the decision rule based on P-value to reject the null hypothesis or fail to reject the null hypothesis is given by;

  • If the P-value of test statistics is less than the level of significance, then we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis.
  • If the P-value of test statistics is more than the level of significance, then we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

(a) Now, we are given alternate hypothesis, H_1 : p < 3/5

Also, z test statistics is -1.68. Since this is a left tailed test, so P-value is given by;

             P-value = P(Z < -1.68) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.68)

                           = 1 - 0.95352 = <u>0.0465</u>

Since, the P-value of test statistics is less than the level of significance as 0.0465 < 0.05, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis due to which <u>we reject the null hypothesis.</u>

(b) Now, we are given alternate hypothesis, H_1 : p > 0.383

Also, z test statistics is 0.41. Since this is a right tailed test, so P-value is given by;

             P-value = P(Z > 0.41) = 1 - P(Z \leq 0.41)

                           = 1 - 0.6591 = <u>0.3409</u>

Since, the P-value of test statistics is more than the level of significance as 0.3409 > 0.05, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis due to which <u>we fail to reject the null hypothesis.</u>

To make ribbon and bow for a hat, Stacey needs 5/6 yard of black ribbon and 2/3 yard of red ribbon. how much total ribbon does s
larisa86 [58]
First make the denominators of the fractions the same by multiplying.

\frac{2}{3} × \frac{2}{2}
=\frac{4}{6}

Now we just need to add the fractions together

\frac{5}{6} +  \frac{4}{6}
= \frac{9}{6}

9/6 would be the answer, but it can be simplified further, then converted into decimal form.

\frac{9}{6} ÷ \frac{3}{3}
=\frac{3}{2}
=1.5 yards

Your final answer is 1.5 yards of ribbon are needed.
