<span>Last
year, the average math SAT score for students at one school was 475. The
headmaster then introduced a new teaching method hoping to improve scores. This
year, the mean math SAT score for a sample of students was 491. The headmaster
concluded that the new teaching method produces higher SAT scores. The problem
with reporting results this way is voluntary response. The information of how
the teaching method isnot mentioned.</span>
X + 5 + 11x = 12x + y
Simplify: 12x + 5 = 12x + y (We are adding x and 11x on the left side)
Subtract 12x from each side makes each zero.
5 = y
So we can plug in and test. I'm picking two random numbers to plug in for x. 10, and 82
x = 10, y = 5
10 + 5 + 11(10) = 12(10) + 5
125 = 125
x = 82, y = 5
82 + 5 + 11(82) = 12(82) + 5
989 = 989
So we verified y = 5
Answer:
Divide, 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
So, lets look at the unit scale.
For every 16 ounces, there are 1 pound.
To convert ounces to pounds, the number must be divide by 16, since there are 16 ounces in one pound.
The first fill in box answer is division.
Next we must ifnd the actual amount of pounds.
We know that the box weights 96 ounces.
Now lets divide this by ounces per pound, and see what we get:
96/16
=
6
So the box weighs 6 pounds.
This is the answer to the second fill in question.
Hope this helps!
