Easy Algebra question!

Let's use "x" as a variable.

The equation would be x+x+60 = 240 with "x" being George's weight.

Subtract 60 from both sides and you get 2x = 180.

From there you divide both sides by 2, getting x=90.

"x" is George's weight, so he weighs 90 pounds.

ANSWER: 90 POUNDS

In order to determine the average price of hotel rooms in Atlanta, a sample of 64 hotels was selected. It was determined that th
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

There is no sufficient evidence to show that the average room price is significantly different from $108.50

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample size is  n = 64

    The average price is  \= x  = \$ 112

    The population standard deviation is  \sigma  = \$ 16

     The level of significance is  \alpha  = 0.05

    The population mean is  \mu = \$ 108.5

The null hypothesis is  H_o :  \mu = 108.50

The alternative hypothesis is  H_a  :  \mu \ne  108.50

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

       z = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{ \sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }

=>    z = \frac{112 - 108.50 }{ \frac{ 16}{\sqrt{64} } }  

=>    z = 1.75

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  1.75  is  

       P( Z >  1.75) = 0.040059

Generally  p-value is mathematically represented as

        p-value = 2 * P( Z >  1.75)

=>     p-value = 2 * 0.040059

=>     p-value = 0.08012

From the values obtained we see that  p-value  > \alpha hence

The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

There is no sufficient evidence to show that the average room price is significantly different from $108.50

A man is 6 feet tall. To find the height of a tree, the shadow of the man and the shadow of the tree were measured. The length o
Sidana [21]

The answer is 16 ft because 6 ft tall over 4 feet 6 inches (4.5) is equal to x (tree's height) over 12 ft. You cross multiple and get 72 = 4.5x then you take 72 and divide by 4.5 to get the tree's height

\frac{6}{4.5}  =  \frac{x}{12}
