Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 ways to proceed further.
Option A is with using the random number table.
- Let us assume that each gravestone has a unique number between 1 and 55914.
- Choose a row at random from the table.
- Take the first number consisting of 5 digits, if the number corresponds with a number between 1 and 55914, then select the corresponding plot, otherwise move on to the next 5 digit-number.
Repeat until 395 gravestones have been selected.
Option B is with using any calculator with capability of generating random integer. Here for example consider any TI series programmable calculator.
- Enter the following command into your calculator:
randInt(1,55914,395)
- The first and second number are the lower and upper limits between which the values have to lie.
- The third number is the number of required selections.
This equation is NEVER true. Let's solve the equations algebraically by applying the Distributive Property of Multiplication and transposing the terms across the equality sign. The solution is as follows:
<span>2(5x+4)=10x+6
10x + 8 = 10x + 6
10x - 10x = 6 - 8
0 = -2
Therefore, it is not true.</span>
