2x+2+x=20
3x+2=20
3x+2-2=20-2
3x=18
18/3=6
So x=6
So the shorter one is 6ft and the longer piece is 14ft. (Additional work to help support answer more) 14+6=20 and 6*2+2=14.
To get the number of standard deviation that 77 is from the mean, we get the z-score:
z-score is given by
z=(x-μ)/σ
where:
μ-mean
σ-standard deviation
thus the value of z from the information above is:
x=77
μ=58
σ=7
z=(77-58)/7=2.7143
Answer:
- 15 is your answer.
I hope it will help you a lot.
