| 2x-4| \ \textgreater \ 8 \\ \\ 2x - 4 \ \textgreater \  8 \ , \ -(2x - 4) \ \textgreater \  8 \ / \ break \ problem \ into \ 2 \ equations \\ \\ first \ equation  \\ \\ 2x \ \textgreater \  8 + 4 \ / \ add \ 4 \ to \ each \ side \\ \\ 2x \ \textgreater \  12 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ x \ \textgreater \   \frac{12}{2} \ / \ divide\ each \ side \ by \ 2 \\ \\ x \ \textgreater \  6 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ second \ equation \\ \\ -2x + 4 \ \textgreater \  8 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ -2x \ \textgreater \  8 - 4 \ / \ subtract \ 4 \ from \ each \ side \\ \\ -2x \ \textgreater \  4 \ / \ simplify \\ \\  x \ \textless \   \frac{4}{-2} \ / \ divide \ each \ side \ by \ -2 \\ \\ 
\\ \\ x \ \textless \  -  \frac{4}{2} \ / \ simplify \\ \\ x \ \textless \  - 2 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ collect \ solutions \\ \\ x \ \textgreater \  6 \ , \ x \ \textless \  -2 \\ \\

So, your answer to this problem is x > 6 and x < -2.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:d. uniformly distributed variable

Step-by-step explanation:Uniform Distribution Definition- in statistics , this mean an outcome is equally likely each variable has an equal or same probability to appear in an outcome.

For example in a deck of cards ,they are uniformly distributed which means the likelihood of drawing a club, a diamond , and a heart is the same.

When we see the percentage of how these students are distributed in art college and business college it is likely that one obtains a uniform distributed results.

Multiply 3/sqrt17- sqrt2 by which fraction will produce an equivalent fraction with rational denominator
zzz [600]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify something that looks like \frac{\text{whatever}}{\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}} you would multiply the top and bottom by the conjugate of the bottom. So you multiply the top and bottom for this problem I just made by:

\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}.

If you had  \frac{\text{whatever}}{\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}}, then you would multiply top and bottom the conjugate of \sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b} which is \sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}.

The conjugate of a+b is a-b.

These have a term for it because when you multiply them something special happens.  The middle terms cancel so you only have to really multiply the first terms and the last terms.

Let's see:

(a+b)(a-b)

I'm going to use foil:

First:  a(a)=a^2

Outer: a(-b)=-ab

Inner:  b(a)=ab

Last:    b(-b)=-b^2

--------------------------Adding.

a^2-b^2

See -ab+ab canceled so all you had to do was the "first" and "last" of foil.

This would get rid of square roots if a and b had them because they are being squared.

Anyways the conjugate of \sqrt{17}-\sqrt{2} is

\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}.

This is the thing we are multiplying and top and bottom.

4 (2+3)
First you add 2+3 and get 5
Next, since the 5 is now in the parentheses, it indicates that you have to multiply
Finally, 5 times 4=20
