Since it is the midpoint we can say:
12x - 1 = 8x +11
All we have do to is get all the x's alone on one side
12x - 1 = 8x + 11
12x = 8x + 12 (add both sides by 1)
4x = 12 (subtract both sides by 8x)
x = 3 (divide both sides to get what x is)
3(x-1)=2x+5
3x-3=2x+5
3x-2x=3+5
x=8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the regression equation
predicts an adult’s height (y) given the individual’s mother’s height (x1), his or her father’s height (x2), and whether the individual is male (x3 = 1) or female (x3 = 0).
The coefficient of x1 = 0.32 represents the increase in height of the child due to one inch increase in mother.
Similarly coefficient of x2 = 0.42 represents the increase in height of the child due to one inch increase in father.
and coefficient of x3 = 5.31 represents the increase in height of the child due to being a male than a female.
Answer:
a = 8
b ≠ 18
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 4x - 7
2y = ax + b
For there to be no solution, the lines (if graphed) should be parallel meaning that their slopes are equal but the y-intercepts are different
y = mx +b is the equation of a line where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
Multiply the first equation by 2
2y = 8x - 14
2y = ax + b
So a has to equal 8
b can be anything except 14 (otherwise the lines would be the same)
