This is not a straight line rather number line.

Equations with two variables produce graphs that are lines. If the line on the graph
is straight, then it has one slope at every point on it. If the line on the graph has any
curves in it, then it has different slopes at different points on it. That's for equations
with two variables.

The equation in this question only has one variable, and it only produces a number . . . the number that 'x' must be in order to make the equation a true statement. It's
not too hard to find:

5 + 2x = 2 + 3x

Subtract 2x from each side:

5 = 2 + x

Subtract 2 from each side:

3 = x

And that's it. 'x' is 3.

If you want to graph that, then what you get is a vertical line on the graph.
It crosses the x-axis at the point where 'x' is 3 .

The slope of a vertical line is 'undefined', just like the slope of a brick wall.
That means that some people would look at it and call it "infinity", but in real
math, it's just 'undefined' ... it has no name at all.

Triangle ABC and triangle DCE are congruent, so line DE = line AB

Use the cosine rule to find angle ACB
$52.2^{2}= 50^{2}+ 70^{2}-(2*50*70*cos(ACB))$
$2724.84=7400-(7000cos(ACB))$
$2724.84-7400=-7000cos(ACB)$
$-4675.16=-7000cos(ACB)$
$\frac{4675.16}{7000}=cos(ACB)$
$Angle ACB= cos^{-1} ( \frac{4675.16}{7000})$
Angle ACB = 48.1°

Do you multiply area or add it

pogonyaev

It's the formula. Base times height.
For example: if 50 is the base and 10 is the height, just multiply them both.
50 x 10 = 500. And I don't think you add area-that's for finding the perimeter

Answer:

Z - score = 2.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Number of samples (N) = 60

Sample mean (x) = 41.9mg

Population mean (μ) = 40mg

Population standard deviation (sd) = 5.2

Using the relation :

Z = (x - μ) / (sd / √N)

Z = (41.9 - 40) / (5.2 / √60)

Z = 1.9 / (5.2 / 7.7459666)

Z = 1.9 / 0.6713171

Z = 2.8302570

Therefore, the z-score = 2.83
