Answer:

it you're asking for like an equation like "4x +3 = 15 " then you do the opposite of what the equation is doing. Basically undoing the problem to get back to the roots of it. like for the example i provided you would subtract 3 from both sides, because it was added originally. then you would divide both sides by 4 because originally you were multiplying.

Recall that the perimeter is the sum of all the sides. So, for the first triangle, the perimeter is 4x+2+7x+7+5x-4 = 16x + 5

second triangle: x+3 + 2x-5 + x+7 (combine like terms)

Part b: Subtract the perimeter of the smaller triangle from the perimeter of the larger triangle.

Answer:

2x + 3 < 3 * (4x + 5)

2x + 3 < 12x + 15

3 < 10x + 15

-12 < 10x

A Survey of 85 company employees shows that the mean length of the Christmas vacation was 4.5 days, with a standard deviation of

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population's mean length of vacation, in days, is (4.24, 4.76).

The 92% confidence interval for the population's mean length of vacation, in days, is (4.27, 4.73).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviations for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 85 - 1 = 84

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 84 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975$ . So we have T = 1.989.
