Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10

First, we need to to multiply out the parathesis in the equation:

5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10

5x + 2x - 8 = 5x + x - 10

Next, we can combine "like terms" to simplify the equation further:

5x + 2x - 8 = 5x + x - 10

7x - 8 = 6x - 10

Now we can isolate the variable "x" to one side:

7x - 8 = 6x - 10

x - 8 = -10

x = -2

To check our work, we can replace x with -2 in our original equation:

5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10

5(-2) + 2 (-2 - 4) = 5(-2) + -2 - 10

-10 + 2 (-6) = -10 -2 - 10

-22 = -22

I hope this helps!

A researcher wants to construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of elementary school students in Seward County who

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

The sample size is $n =68$

Step-by-step explanation:

The population proportion is $\^ p = 0.50$

The margin of error is $E = 0.1$

From the question we are told the confidence level is 90% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 90 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.10$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.645$

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

$n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p )$

=> $n = [\frac{1.645 }{0.1} ]^2 * 0.50 (1 - 0.50 )$

=> $n =68$

Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

All you have to do to acquire the equation is to substitute the variables to the formula for A and simplify. Since A = 1/2*b*h and h = bsin(C), then A can be in terms of one variable only, which is b.

A = 1/2*b*bsin(c)
A = 1/2*b^2*sin(C)
