Answer: a) -6, b) -10, c) -3, d) -98, e) -6, f) 49, g) -3.75 h) -12

Step-by-step explanation: For equations like these, you need to solve to get the variables on their own. For problem a, add 5 to -23 (because 5 is negative, you add to cancel it out to 0) which gives us 3x = -18. Lastly, divide the whole equation by 3 to cancel 3 out so that x is alone: 3x/3 = -18/3. This gives us x = -6 (x is negative 6, not positive because a negative divided by a positive is ALWAYS negative).

Given equations like problem d, in order to get x alone, you need to use the opposite of division to make the problem solveable. In this case, multiply -7(denominator) on BOTH sides of the equation to balance it: (-7)x/-7 + (-7)(-3) = (-7)11. Now, we get x + 21 = -77. Then subtract 21 to -77: x = -98 (it isn't -56 because subtracting a positive and a negative means adding them).

TIP: to make sure your answer is correct, plug in the answers you got into the equation. For a, the answer was -6. 3(-6) -5 = -23. -23 = -23. This is a true statement, so the answer is correct.

Suppose a lawn and garden company wants to determine the current percentage of customers who use fertilizer on their lawns. How

marishachu [46]

Answer:

n=601

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})$

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96$

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.04$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

Since we don't have a prior estimation for the proportion we can use 0.5 as estimation. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2}=600.25$

And rounded up we have that n=601

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6y - 5x = - 6

6y = 5x - 6

If the num beside the x is not 5, then it's not a parallel line
