6 0

2x-4(x+1)=-13
1) we solve this equation:
2x-4(x+1)=-12
2x-4x-4=-12
-2x=-12+4
-2x=-8
x=-8/-2
x=4

2) we evalute x²-1
x²-1=4²-1=16-1=15

Answer: 15

Which equation matches the graph?<br> PLEASE HELP MEEEE

Rama09 [41]

Answer: Y = 3x - 2

Work: Okay, let's take this step by step. Since the Y - Intercept is -2, put a dot on -2 on the (Y) Line. It also just so happens that the line goes through -2. Now with 3x. 3x is the same thing as 3x / 1. Since three is on the top, you go up three from -2, and then move over one spot because of the 1 (If it was a negative one, you go the opposite direction) Alright, now you see that the line also passes through that point as well, so it has to be y = 3x -2

A survey on battery life reported by customers shows that it follows a normal distribution with mean 10.5 hours and standard deviation 27 minutes.

convert into same units into hours.

X is N(10.5, 0.45)

a) the probability that the battery life is at least 11.0 hours

$P(X\geq 11)\\\\=1-0.8667\\=0.1333$
