What value makes 3(a+1.5)= -1.5 true

1 answer:

3 0

First, write the equation:
3(a+1.5) = -1.5
Next, you can distribute 3 into the parentheses by multiplying 3 by a and 1.5. It should look like this:
3a + 4.5 = -1.5
When trying to find the value of a variable, you want to get the variable to one side of the equation by itself. Subtract 4.5 from both sides of the equation to get:
3a = -6
Now, divide both sides by 3 to get your final answer:
a= -2
The value that makes the equation true is -2
Hope this helped!

Marina CMI [18]

I think he pays $702.

Basically,

650 • .08 (move the decimal over two to the left, that’s what you get) = 52. Then I did 650 + 52 and got $702.

Compute z-score. Given ~ n(12,2.5),find z score when x =17

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The desired z-score is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

n(12,2.5)

This means that $\mu = 12, \sigma = 2.5$

z score when x =17

This is Z when X = 17. So

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

$Z = \frac{17 - 12}{2.5}$

$Z = 2$

The desired z-score is 2.

Name the property used in each equation. Then find the value of N. <br><br> 7+(4+6)=7+n

Xelga [282]

Hi there!

Let's solve th' Eqn. :-

7 + (6 + 4) = 7 + n

⇒ 7 + 10 = 7 + n

⇒ n = 7 - 7 + 10 ⇒ n = 10

Hence,
The required answer is " n " = 10

$\bf{COMMUTATIVE\:}$ :-

Th' Commutative property states that the order of the terms does not affect the final result.
