What is the answer (algebra) -(4x + 3x) = 10x - 5
1 answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-(4x + 3x) = 10x - 5
We would have to multiply the -1 by the 4x and the 3x which is in the bracket.
Though there is no 1 behind the bracket but, behind any bracket there is 1 there even though it's ignored.
So when we multiply -1 by 4x we are going to get;
-4x
And when we multiply -1 by 3x It's going to be;
-3x
We have -3 and -4 because whenever we multiply any positive and negative number the product is negative.
So;
-4x - 3x = 10x - 5
So now, we group like terms;
- 4x - 3x - 10x = -5
So now that we have grouped, we have to add the negative numbers even though there is no addition sign there we would have to add
-17x = -5
So now we divide both sides by;
-17
Which is going to be;
x=

Answer:
We need at least 243 stores.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of , and a confidence level of
, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
In which
z is the zscore that has a pvalue of .
The margin of error of the interval is:
For this problem, we have that:
95% confidence level
So , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of
, so
.
Determine the number of stores that must be sampled in order to estimate the true proportion to within 0.04 with 95% confidence using the large-sample method.
We need at least n stores.
n is found when M = 0.04. So
Rounding up
We need at least 243 stores.
