Algebra 1 question : Solve for x : 3 - 5x + 6 = 14x - 32 + 10(2-x)

Zepler [3.9K]

Hi there!

$3 - 5x + 6 = 14x - 32 + 10(2 - x)$
Work out the parenthesis.

$3 - 5x + 6 = 14x - 32 + 20 - 10x$
Combine like terms.

$9 - 5x = 4x - 12$
Subtract 9 from both sides.

$- 5x = 4x - 21$
Subtract 4x from both sides

$- 9x = - 21$
Divide both sides by -9

$x = \frac{ - 21}{ - 9} = \frac{21}{9} = 2 \frac{3}{9} = 2 \frac{1}{3}$

The following are the last 10 run scores Colin got in cricket:

Solnce55 [7]

Answers:

a) Mean = 20.4
b) New mean = 20

==================================================

Explanation:

To get the mean, we add up the scores and divide by 10 (because there are 10 scores at first)

28+13+4+12+32+22+13+22+26+32 = 204

204/10 = 20.4

The mean is 20.4

------------

For part b), we redo those steps shown above, but tack 16 onto the list. So we'll add up all the values (including that 16 at the end) and divide by 11 this time.

28+13+4+12+32+22+13+22+26+32+16 = 220

220/11 = 20

The new mean is 20.

The new mean is slightly smaller than the old mean. Notice how 16 is smaller than 20.4, so this new score pulls down the mean just a little bit.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards, the head circumference for boys at birth is normally di

Elena L [17]

Answer:

$z = \frac{X -\mu}{\sigma}$

This z score tell to us how many deviations we are below or above the mean for a given normal distribution.

For the case of Eddie we got:

$z= \frac{33.2-34.5}{1.3}= -1$

And for the case of Sue we got:

$z = \frac{32.7-33.9}{1.2}= -1$

So then for both cases we see that Eddie and Sue are 1 deviation below the true mean for each gender so then the best conclusion for this case would be:

C.They are the same size relative to other children of the same sex.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define the random variable X as the head circumference for boys at birth and we know that the distribution for X is given by:

$X\sim N(\mu = 34.5, \sigma=1.3)$

Similarly we can define the random variable Y as the head circumference for boys at birth and we know that the distribution for Y is given by:

$Y\sim N(\mu = 33.9, \sigma=1.2)$

And we know that Eddie was born with 33.2 cm and Sue with 32.7 cm for the head circumference . Since we are interested to determine which child's head circumference is smaller relative to other children of the same sex, we can use the z score formula given by this formula:

$z = \frac{X -\mu}{\sigma}$

This z score tell to us how many deviations we are below or above the mean for a given normal distribution.

For the case of Eddie we got:

$z= \frac{33.2-34.5}{1.3}= -1$

And for the case of Sue we got:

$z = \frac{32.7-33.9}{1.2}= -1$

So then for both cases we see that Eddie and Sue are 1 deviation below the true mean for each gender so then the best conclusion for this case would be:

C.They are the same size relative to other children of the same sex.

At a baseball game, a vender sold a combined total of 170 sodas and hot dogs. the number of hot dogs sold was 50 less than the n

Juliette [100K]

Let the number of sodas sold be x and the number of hotdogs sold be y. We can assemble a system of equations from the information given and solve.

x+y=170 (We know that soda + dogs is 170)

x-50=y (We know that dogs is equal to 50 less than sodas)

We can use substitution to solve this system of equations.

x+y=170

Sub in the value of y from the second equation

x+(x-50)=170

2x-50=170

2x=220

x=110

We now know the number of sodas sold was 110. Lets now plug this value into the equation to solve for y.

x+y=170

110+y=170

y=60

So, there were 60 hotdogs sold and 110 sodas sold.
