Answer:

x= −1/2, x=52/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+7)=13

(2)(x)+(2)(7)=13(Distribute)

2x+14−14=13−14

2x=−1

2x/<u><em>2</em></u>=−1/<u>2</u>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

5(x−7)=17

(5)(x)+(5)(−7)=17(Distribute)

5x+−35=17

5x−35=17

5x−35+35=17+35

5x=52

5x/<u><em>5</em></u>=52/<u>5</u>

What proportion of students are willing to report cheating by other students? A project put this question to an SRS of 180 under
krok68 [10]

Answer:

13.89% of students are willing to report cheating by other students.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 180

Number of students who reported cheating, x = 25

We have to find the proportion of the students are willing to report cheating by other students.

Proportion of students can be calculate as

p = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{25}{180} = 0.1389\\\\\p = 0.1389\times 100\5\\p = 13.89\%

Thus, 13.89% of students are willing to report cheating by other students.

dale has a square garden. He adds a 2-foot-wide walkway around his garden. If the total area of the walkway and garden is 196 sq
dem82 [27]
Let the side of the garden alone (without walkway) be x.  
Then the area of the garden alone is x^2.  
The walkway is made up as follows:

1) four rectangles of width 2 feet and length x, and 
 2) four squares, each of area 2^2 square feet.


The total walkway area is thus x^2 + 4(2^2) + 4(x*2).  

We want to find the dimensions of the garden.  To do this, we need to find the value of x.

Let's sum up the garden dimensions and the walkway dimensions:

x^2 + 4(2^2) + 4(x*2) = 196 sq ft

x^2 + 16 + 8x = 196 sq ft

x^2 + 8x - 180 = 0

(x-10(x+18) = 0

x=10 or x=-18.  We must discard x=-18, since the side length can't be negative.  We are left with x = 10 feet.

The garden dimensions are (10 feet)^2, or 100 square feet.
