Mathematics

Degger [83]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = -1

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Alg</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

5x - (x + 4) + 1 = 3 - 2(x + 6)

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute:                          5x - x - 4 + 1 = 3 - 2x - 12
  2. Combine like terms:          4x - 3 = -2x - 9
  3. Add 2x on both sides:      6x - 3 = -9
  4. Add 3 to both sides:         6x = -6
  5. Divide both sides by 6:     x = -1

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute:                    5(-1) - (-1 + 4) + 1 = 3 - 2(-1 + 6)
  2. Parenthesis (Add):        5(-1) - 3 + 1 = 3 - 2(5)
  3. Multiply:                        -5 - 3 + 1 = 3 - 10
  4. Subtract:                       -8 + 1 = -7
  5. Add:                              -7 = -7

Please i need help don't understand this problem.Trina and jessie went on vacation. Trina went scuba diving and reached an eleva
alexira [117]

I will explain this answer with the help of number line which i have shown below.

Considering sea level as starting point i.e origin i will depict how far Trina had gone below sea level and how much Jessie went above sea level.

Distance Traveled by Trina below sea level = - 85.5 meter

Distance Traveled by Jessie  above sea level =87.9 meter

Considering sea level as origin i.e 0

Total distance traveled by Trina= 0-(-85.5)=85.5 meter

Total distance Traveled by Jessie = 0+87.9=87.9 meter

So,Trina is nearer to sea level than Jessie.

Now Trina wants to hang glide at the same number of meters above sea level as she scuba dived below sea level.

Then Distance traveled by Trina=85.5 meter

No,she will not fly higher than Jessie because Jessie has traveled 87.9 meter.

This lesson asked you to investigate what it means for data to fall within 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations from the mean in a va
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The data in statistics is generally supposed to deviate or vary from the mean. Standard deviations of 1, 2, and 3 are commonly used to calculate variability according to the empirical norm. In a normal distribution, we estimate 68 percent, 95 percent, and 98 percent of the data to be within 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations of the mean, respectively. This implies that the given percentage of data will lie within an interval of less than or greater than the standard deviation. If the values within a given standard deviation from the mean are standardized, the z value will always be equal to or less than the given standard deviation.

We should look at a program that aims to help people get out of poverty by using the standard deviation principle. The aim of the program is to provide free seeds to poor people who have been suffering from low yields due to the use of local seeds. If we use the definition of one standard deviation of the mean, or 2 and 3, we will favor the majority of people, but we will leave the poorest people in society behind.
