Answer:

400 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Barbara can walk 3,200 meters in 24 minutes . And are being asked to see how far she can walk in 3 minutes.

Create the unit rate. Since Barbara can walk 3,200 in 24 minutes and we're trying to figure out how many meters she walks in 3 mintues, make the meters "M"

$\frac{3200}{24} = \frac{M}{3}$

Let's do something that can make 24 mintues go to 3 minutes, this would be dividing 24 by 8, do the same with the numerator :

$\frac{3200/8}{24/8}$

$\frac{400}{3}$

Therefore Barbara can walk 400 meters in 3 minutes,

The x-intercept is the number without the variable.

So, #1's correct answer would be A. because -10 is not greater than -2.

A survey of shoppers is planned to determine what percentage use credit cards. prior surveys suggest 63% of shoppers use credit

Alona [7]

We would need a sample size of 560.

We first calculate the z-score associated. with this level of confidence:
Convert 95% to a decimal: 95% = 95/100 = 0.95
Subtract from 1: 1-0.95 = 0.05
Divide by 2: 0.05/2 = 0.025
Subtract from 1: 1-0.025 = 0.975

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this is associated with a z-score of 1.96.

The margin of error, ME, is given by:
$ME=z*\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

We want ME to be 4%; 4% = 4/100 = 0.04. Substituting this into our equation, as well as our proportion and z-score,
$0.04=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.63(1-0.63)}{n}}
\\
\\\text{Dividing both sides by 1.96,}
\\
\\\frac{0.04}{1.96}=\sqrt{\frac{0.63(0.37)}{n}}
\\
\\\text{Squaring both sides,}
\\
\\(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2=\frac{0.63(0.37)}{n}
\\
\\\text{Multiplying both sides by n,}
\\
\\n(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2=0.63(0.37)
\\
\\n(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2=0.2331
\\
\\\text{Isolating n,}
\\
\\n=\frac{0.2331}{(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2}=559.67\approx560$

Determine which equations have the same solution set as StartFraction 2 Over 3 EndFraction minus x plus StartFraction 1 Over 6 E

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

A, B, F

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 - x + 1/6 = 6x

Collect like terms

2/3 + 1/6 = 6x + x

(4+1) / 6 = 7x

5/6 = 7x

x = 5/6 ÷ 7

= 5/6 × 1/7

x = 5/42

a) 4 - 6x + 1 = 36x

4 + 1 = 36x + 6x

5 = 42x

x = 5/42

Equivalent to the last step of the simplification above

b) 5/6 - x = 6x

5/6 = 6x + x

5/6 = 7x

This is equivalent to the third step of the simplification

c) 4 - x + 1 = 6x

4 + 1 = 6x + x

5 = 7x

x = 5/7

Not equivalent to any of the steps in the simplification above

d) 5/6 + x = 6x

5/6 = 6x - x

5/6 = 5x

x = 5/6 ÷ 5

= 5/6 × 1/5

x = 5/30

Not equivalent to any of the steps in the simplification above

e) 5 = 30x

x = 5/30

Not equivalent to any of the steps in the simplification above

f) 5 = 42x

x = 5/42

Equivalent to the last step of the simplification above

Full proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

$\displaystyle ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\ax^2+bx=-c\\\\x^2+\biggr(\frac{b}{a}\biggr)x=-\frac{c}{a}\\\\x^2+\biggr(\frac{b}{a}\biggr)x+\biggr(\frac{b}{2a}\biggr)^2=-\frac{c}{a}+\biggr(\frac{b}{2a}\biggr)^2\\\\x^2+\biggr(\frac{b}{a}\biggr)x+\frac{b^2}{4a^2}=-\frac{c}{a}+\frac{b^2}{4a^2}\\ \\\biggr(x+\frac{b}{2a}\biggr)^2=-\frac{4ac}{4a^2}+\frac{b^2}{4a^2}\\ \\\biggr(x+\frac{b}{2a}\biggr)^2=\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}\\ \\x+\frac{b}{2a}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\ \\x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$
