Answer:

  • x = 5, y = 7, z = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let the numbers be x, y and z</u>

  • x + y + z = 24
  • 2y = z + 2
  • z = x + y

<u>Solving by substitution:</u>

  • x + y + z = z + z = 24
  • 2z = 24
  • z = 12

  • 2y = z + 2
  • 2y = 12 + 2
  • 2y = 14
  • y = 7

  • z = x + y
  • x = z - y
  • x = 12 - 7 = 5

<u>The answer:</u>

  • x = 5, y = 7, z = 12

Does taking ginkgo tablets (i.e., and extract from a tree species) twice a day provide significant improvement in mental perform
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

D. These results do not provide good statistical evidence that taking ginkgo tablets twice a day provides some improvement in mental performance. If 200 tests are being performed at the 5% significance level, some are bound to show statistically significant results, even if the treatment does not have any effect. It is premature to draw statistical conclusions from this study in which the percentage of significant tests is about 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not right to just made a conclusive argument on a large population by considering the outcome of the analysis made on a sample of the population. In addition, based on the number of tests conducted with about 5% significance level, it is clear that this can not be used to draw the necessary conclusion.

Find what n equals 8(2n-2) = 4 - 4n (explanation please)
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{n=1}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of n that satisfies this equation, we can perform a series of algebraic steps on it to solve for n.

  • 8(2n-2) = 4- 4n
  • <em>Distribute in the 8 on the left side:</em>
  • <em />16n-16=4-4n<em> </em>
  • <em>Add 4n to both sides</em>
  • 20n-16=4
  • <em>Add 16 to both sides</em>
  • 20n = 20
  • <em>Divide both sides by 20</em>
  • n=1

Therefore, n=1 is the value of n that satisfies this equation.

Hope this helped!
