6 - 2/3 (x+5) = 4x solve algebraically for the exact value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
luda_lava [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - Rewrite

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

2 - Distribute

6 - 2/3x + 10/3 = 4x

3 - Combine like terms and get x alone

6 10/3 - 2/3x = 4x

           +2/3x  +2/3x

          6 10/3 = 4 2/3x

------------------------------- Convert to decimals

6.3333333333.... = 4.333...x

-------------------------------- Divide both sides by 4.33...x

2 = x

Hope this helps :)

7x-4 (6-x) +12. if x=6
Darina [25.2K]
We just need to substitute in 6 whether we see an x:

(7*6) - 4*(6-6) + 12
= 42 - 4*0 + 12
=54

I need to find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 2 units
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

6.2832 square units (rounded off to four decimal values)

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a semicircle = \frac{1}{2} × π × r²

r (radius) = 2 units

For our semicircle the area = \frac{1}{2} × π × 2² = 6.28318530718  square units

Or 6.2832 square units (rounded off to four decimal values)

A sample size 25 is picked up at random from a population which is normally
Margarita [4]

Answer:

a) P(X < 99) = 0.2033.

b) P(98 < X < 100) = 0.4525

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean of 100 and variance of 36.

This means that \mu = 100, \sigma = \sqrt{36} = 6

Sample of 25:

This means that n = 25, s = \frac{6}{\sqrt{25}} = 1.2

(a) P(X<99)

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 99. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{99 - 100}{1.2}

Z = -0.83

Z = -0.83 has a pvalue of 0.2033. So

P(X < 99) = 0.2033.

b) P(98 < X < 100)

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 100 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 98. So

X = 100

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{100 - 100}{1.2}

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a pvalue of 0.5

X = 98

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{98 - 100}{1.2}

Z = -1.67

Z = -1.67 has a pvalue of 0.0475

0.5 - 0.0475 = 0.4525

So

P(98 < X < 100) = 0.4525
