Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

you would first distribute the -2 with x - 2, which should give you -2x + 4, and you want to do the -3 - 21, which would give you -24, then subtract 4 from -2x + 4, then you should have -2x = -28, then divide it by -2, which should give you x = 14

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we must isolate x

Given: -2(x - 2) = - 3 - 21
Simplify the right side: -2(x - 2)= - 24
Distribute the -2 to x and -2 (multiply): -2x + 4 = -24
Subtract 4 from both sides: -2x = -28
Divide both sides by -2: x = 14

Students pass a test it they score 50% or more. the marks of a large number of students were sampled and the mean and standard d

Schach [20]

So we are given that the mean is 42% and the sd (standard deviation) is 8%
Assuming our data is normal we can use the 68-95-99 rule

So one thing you should realize is that 42% + 8% is 50% which is passing. That is one standard deviation higher. So we use:

100 - 68 - 13.5 - 2.35 - 0.15 = 16. That means 16% of students passed the test. Which is terrible. They probably need to hit the books more.

Anyways if you have any question feel free to message me!
Hopes this helps!

Answer:

60 minutes for the larger hose to fill the swimming pool by itself

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Working together, it takes two different sized hoses 20 minutes to fill a small swimming pool.

takes 30 minutes for the larger hose to fill the swimming pool by itself

Let x be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

and y be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

To find LCM of 20 and 30

LCM (20, 30) = 60

To find the efficiency

Let x be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

and y be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

x = 60/30 =2

x + y = 60 /20 = 3

Therefore efficiency of y = (x + y) - x =3 - 2 = 1

so, time taken to fill the swimming pool by small hose = 60/1 = 60 minutes
