7x = 2(x - 50)

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

  1. Distribute 2:                    7x = 2x - 100
  2. Isolate <em>x </em>term:                 5x = -100
  3. Isolate <em>x</em>:                          x = -20

Answer:

x= -20

Step-by-step explanation:

So the first thing you would want to do is multiply 2 on both x and -50. After that you will end up with 7x = 2x - 100. Then you will need to subtract x on both sides getting 5x = -100. Finally you will need to divide 5 on both sides getting x = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

When drawing a dot, the steps are;

i) The data set (the list of numbers to be presented in the dot plot) are arranged in increasing order from left to right, with thee lowest value on the left and the highest value located at the right of the list

ii) The five boundary values are listed as follows;

The Minimum and Maximum Values

1) The minimum value is the lowest number in the list, which is the first number from the left

2) The maximum value is the final number on the right of the list

3) The Median, Q₂

The median number is the number which divides the data arranged in increasing number, into two equal parts

The First Quartile and Third Quartile

The numbers are divided from the median, such that the Lower half is to the left of the Median, and the Upper half is to the right of median

4) The First Quartile, Q₁ = The median of the Lower half

5) The Third Quartile, Q₂ = The median of the Upper half

iii) The box plot is then drawn with the five boundary values found above

An employee earned $56,700.00 in a year and had $8,788.50 withheld for federal income tax. What federal income tax percent was w
alexandr1967 [171]
So earned 56,700 in a year and had 8,788.5 held back
convert to percent

so find what percent was withhelald which is (amount held back)/(total taken from)
so it would be 8,788.5/56,700=0.155/1
percent means parts out of 100 or x/100=x% so convert the bottom number ot 100 by mulitplyint the whole fraction by 1 or 100/100 so
0.155/1 times 100/100=15.5/100=15.5%
the answer is 15.5%
