Answer:

The answer is x=-17/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The Steps:

-8 + 5(1 + x) = 2x - 20

-8 + 5 + 5x = 2x - 20

-3 + 5x = 2x - 20

-3 + 3x = -20

3x = -17

x = -17/3

Complete question :

A pair of $36 jeans were on sale at Jim's Jeans for 1/3 off. The same pair of jeans were $42 at David's Denims. The jeans were on sale for 2/3 off.

A.) which store had the better buy

B.) how much will you pay at the store that has the better buy

Answer:

A.)David's denim has the better buy

B.) $14

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim's Jean store :

Cost of Jean = $36

Discount = 1/3 off

Discounted cost = $36 - (1/3 * $36)

Discounted cost = $36 - $12 = $24

David's Denim:

Cost of Jean = $42

Discount = 2/3 off

Discounted cost = $42 - (2/3 * $42)

Discounted cost = $42 - $28 = $14

David's denim has the better buy with a discounted price lower than the discounted price at Jim's store.

Cost at store with the better buy is $14

Irri is traveling in a group of 888 cat warriors. Each cat needs 444 liters of milk per day to maintain good morale. Mirri has a

tatiyna

Answer:

3.25 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Irri is traveling in a group of 8 cat warriors. Each cat needs 4 liters of milk per day to maintain good morale.

The total number of liters for the cat is calculated as:

8 × 4 liters of milk

= 32 liters of milk.

Another cat has enough milk to last for 2days.

= 4 liters of milk × 2 days

= 8 liters

Mirri has a supply of 96 liters of milk.

Total liters of milk = 96 liters + 8 liters

= 104 liters

Which equation can we use to find the total number of days the milk will last?

This is calculated as:

= 104 liters/32 liters

= 3.25 days

What is an example of when you would want consistent data and, therefore, a small standard deviation?

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

12.1, 12.3,12.4,12.5,12.3,12.1,12.2

$\bar X= \frac{12.1+12.3+12.4+12.5+12.3+12.1+12.2}{7}=12.271$

And for the standard deviation we can use the following formula:

$s= \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

And after replace we got:

$s = 0.1496$

And as we can ee we got a small value for the deviation <1 on this case.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example if we have the following data:

12.1, 12.3,12.4,12.5,12.3,12.1,12.2

We see that the data are similar for all the observations so we would expect a small standard deviation

If we calculate the sample mean we can use the following formula:

$\bar X=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

And replacing we got:

$\bar X= \frac{12.1+12.3+12.4+12.5+12.3+12.1+12.2}{7}=12.271$

And for the standard deviation we can use the following formula:

$s= \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

And after replace we got:

$s = 0.1496$

And as we can ee we got a small value for the deviation <1 on this case.
