Step-by-step explanation:

-46 - 8x > 22: Original problem

-46 - 8x + 46 > 22 + 46: Bringing all the constants to one side of the inequality

-8x > 68: Simplification

x < 68/-8 : You have to flip the inequality symbol because you are dividing by

a negative number..

x< -8.5 : The answer!!!!!

Checking your answer....

-46 - 8x > 22 : Original problem

-46 - 8(-8.5) > 22 : Substitution

-46 + 68 > 22 : Simplification

22 > 22 : Answer check successful!!!

(22 is not greater than 22 but we know that the answer cannot be -8.5 because the inequality states that x is less -8.5. This process was only for the purpose of checking not for the purpose of proving)

Hope this helps!!!!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to answering this is to know that the only time you'll change the direction of the sign is when you multiply or divide by a negative number.

-46 - 8x > 22

-8x > 22 + 46

-8x > 68

x < 68/-8 (we divided by -8 so the inequality changed direction)

x < -17/2

What is the value of x if 5x+2 = 59?

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

x = 57/5 = 11.400

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

1.1 Solve : 5x-57 = 0

Add 57 to both sides of the equation :

5x = 57

Divide both sides of the equation by 5:

x = 57/5 = 11.400

One solution was found :

x = 57/5 = 11.400

What is. 3/4x - 2/3x - 4 = 1/6x- 7 I give Brainliest!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3}{4} x - \frac{2}{3} x - 4 = \frac{1}{6} x - 7$

$= > \frac{3}{4} x - \frac{2}{3} x - \frac{1}{6} x = 4 - 7$

$= > \frac{9x - 8x - 2x}{12} = - 3$

$= > \frac{ - 1}{12} x = - 3$

$= > x = - 3 \times ( - 12)$

=> x = 36 (Ans)

On a standardized test with a normal distribution the mean score was 67.2. The standard deviation was 4.6. What percent of the d

Reika [66]

Answer:

P ( -1 < Z < 1 ) = 68%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The given parameters for standardized test scores that follows normal distribution have mean (u) and standard deviation (s.d) :

u = 67.2

s.d = 4.6

- The random variable (X) that denotes standardized test scores following normal distribution:

X~ N ( 67.2 , 4.6^2 )

Find:-

What percent of the data fell between 62.6 and 71.8?

Solution:-

- We will first compute the Z-value for the given points 62.6 and 71.8:

P ( 62.6 < X < 71.8 )

P ( (62.6 - 67.2) / 4.6 < Z < (71.8 - 67.2) / 4.6 )

P ( -1 < Z < 1 )

- Using the The Empirical Rule or 68-95-99.7%. We need to find the percent of data that lies within 1 standard about mean value:

P ( -1 < Z < 1 ) = 68%

P ( -2 < Z < 2 ) = 95%

P ( -3 < Z < 3 ) = 99.7%
