Distribute on the left side
7.4a+22.2=3.2a+43.2
Subtract 3.2a from both sides
4.2a+22.2=43.2
Subtract 22.2 from both sides
4.2a=21
Divide both sides by 4.2
a=5
If x is the first of the integers then the statement is:
(x) , (x+2) , (x+4) , (x+6)
This means that the smallest is x and the largest is x + 6
so:
3(x) + 2(x+6) = 293
3x + 2x + 12 = 293
5x = 281
x = 56.2
This gives us a none integer (decimal)
What now?
Wait remember how x started as the lowest? what if x was the highest instead?
x, x-2, x-4, x-6
so:
3(x-6) + 2(x) = 293
5x = 315
x = 62.2
This is as close as have gotten to the answer
Cant seem to get an integer.
Maybe error in the question or some bad math on my part.
Let m and s be the number of math and sociology books sold respectively.
m=s+88 we are also told that:
m+s=426, using m found above in this equation gives you:
s+88+s=426 combine like terms on left side
2s+88=426 subtract 88 from both sides
2s=338 divide both sides by 2
s=169, since m=s+88
m=169+88=257
So 257 math and 169 sociology textbooks were sold.
Answer:
90
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The approximate probability that more than 360 of these people will be against increasing taxes is P(Z> <u>0.6-0.45)</u>
√0.45*0.55/600
The right answer is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
sample size, h=600
probability against increase tax p=0.45
The probability that in a sample of 600 people, more that 360 people will be against increasing taxes.
We find that P(P>360/600)=P(P>0.6)
The sample proposition of p is approximately normally distributed mith mean p=0.45
standard deviation σ=√P(1-P)/n=√0.45(1-0.45)/600
If x≅N(u,σ∧∧-2), then z=(x-u)/σ≅N(0,1)
Now, P(P>0.6)=P(<u>P-P</u> > <u>0.6-0.45)</u>
σ √0.45*0.55/600
=P(Z> <u>0.6-0.45)</u>
√0.45*0.55/600
