Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>

3 - 2x = -1.5x

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Add 2x on both sides:                    3 = 0.5x
  2. Divide 0.5 on both sides:               6 = x
  3. Rewrite:                                           x = 6

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in<em> x</em>:                    3 - 2(6) = -1.5(6)
  2. Multiply:                               3 - 12 = -9
  3. Subtract:                              -9 = -9

Here we see that -9 does indeed equal -9.

∴ x = 6 is the solution to the equation.

Answer:

x= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3-2x= -1.5x

-3       -3

-2x= -1.5x - 3

+1.5x   +1.5x

-.5x= -3

divide both sides by -.5

<u>x = 6</u>

When solving the equation, which is the best first step to begin to simplify the equation?
boyakko [2]

Answer:

<h3>Negative one-half (negative 2) (x + 3) = negative 10 (negative one-half)</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

- 2 (x + 3) = - 10

The first step in solving the expression is to multiply both sides by -1/2 as shown;

-1/2(-2)(x+3) = -1/2(-10)

(x +3) = 1/2(10)

x + 3 = 5

x = 5-3

x = 2

Hence the correct option is Negative one-half (negative 2) (x + 3) = negative 10 (negative one-half)

Answer:

<h2> $1945</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the normal distribution

Kindly find attached a detailed annotation of the solution to the problem.

in the attached document, we found the value that corresponds to  80th percentile, hence we found the value such that the probability that the variable x is lower than this value is 0.8.

Also, from the calculation, we found that the value which corresponds to the 80th percentile is $1945
