Nine fewer than half a number is five more than four times the number. Define a variable, write an equation, solve the number.

1 answer:

5 0

N = the number

$\frac{1}{2}n - 9=4n+5 \\ ( \frac{1}{2}n - \frac{1}{2}n)-9=(4n- \frac{1}{2}n)+5 \\ -9=3.5n+5 \\ (-9-5)=3.5n+(5-5) \\ -14=3.5n \\ \frac{-14}{3.5} = \frac{3.5n}{3.5} \\ -4=n$

The number is -4

Answer:

Stratified sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

Samples may be classified as:

Convenient: Sample drawn from a conveniently available pool.

Random: Basically, put all the options into a hat and drawn some of them.

Systematic: Every kth element is taken. For example, you want to survey something on the street, you interview every 5th person, for example.

Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed.

Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. However, then only some elements of the group are surveyed.

In this question:

Population divided into groups, and random samples are drawn from the groups. This is a mark of stratified sampling.

The graph of a linear function intersects with the x axis at a point with an abscissa of 4 and with the y axis at a point with a

goldenfox [79]

We know that

points are
x intercept
A (4,0)

y intercept
B (0,11)

step 1
find the equation of a line
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)--------> m=(11-0)/(0-4)------> m=-11/4

with m and the point B (0,11)
y-y1=m*(x-x1)y-11=(-11/4)*(x-0)---------> y=-(11/4)x+11

the answer is
the formula of the function is y=-(11/4)x+11

see the attached figure
