Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

29 - 3x = 5x + 5

You want to have the variable of x on one side of the equation, so add 3x to both sides.

29 = 8x + 5

You want to isolate the variable of x, so subtract 5 from both sides.

24 = 8x

You want the variable x on its own, so divide both sides by 8.

3 = x

Check your answer by plugging x back into the original equation.

29 - 3(3) = 5(3) + 5

Solve.

29 - 9 = 15 + 5

20 = 20

Your answer is correct!

Answer:

$t=-2.86$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sample 1 $n_1=8$

Sample 1 mean blood pressure $\=x_1=89mmHg$

Sample 1 variance $\sigma_1=81$

Sample 2 $n_2=8$

Sample 2 mean blood pressure $\=x_2=105mmHg$

Sample 2 variance $\sigma_2=169$

Generally the equation for the test of statistic is mathematically given by

$t=\frac{\=x_1-\=x_2}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_2}{n_1}+\frac{\sigma_2}{n_2} } }$

$t=\frac{89-105}{\sqrt{\frac{81}{8}+\frac{169}{8} } }$

$t=-2.86$

therefore the samples test for comparing the two population means

$t=-2.86$

Draw 8 lines that are between 1inch and 3 inches long

Alex787 [66]

This is not something we can really help you with, you'll have to do on your own paper. Just get a ruler and draw 8 different lines that measure 1-3 inches.
