Your going to be using the distributive property for this question.
So after you have distributed the 2 to the X and the -4 , you are left with 2x-8=-24
Next, add the 8 to the -24
So your left with 2x=16
Lastly, divide 16/2

Your answer should be x=8
Hope this helped!

The mathematics department of a college has 7 male​ professors, 6 female​ professors, 12 male teaching​ assistants, and 7 female
Natalka [10]

Answer:

0.78125 or 78.125%

Step-by-step explanation:

Male professors = 7

Female professors = 6

Male T.A. = 12

Female T.A. = 7

Number of people in the department = 32

The probability that the selected person is a professor or a male is given by the probability that the person is a professor added to the probability that the person is a male, minus the probability that the person is a male professor:

P( P\ or\ M) = P(P) +P(M) - P(P\ and\ M)\\P( P\ or\ M) =\frac{7+6}{32}+ \frac{7+12}{32}- \frac{7}{32} \\P( P\ or\ M) = 0.78125 = 78.125\%

The probability is 0.78125 or 78.125%

Bank A is lending money at 6.4% interest compounded annually. The rate at Bank B is 6.3% compounded monthly, and the rate at Ban
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

$1596

$1597.28

$1598.33

bank A

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating compound interest:

FV = P (1 + r/m)^mn

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

m = number of compounding

Bank A = $1500(1.064) = $1596

Bank B = $1500( 1 + 0.063/12)^12 = 1597.28

Bank C = $1500( 1 + 0.0635/365)^365 = $1598.33

Bank A pays the least amount of interest

In a random sample of 500 handwritten zip code digits, 464 were read correctly by an optical character recognition (OCR) system
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

z= 2.38

P = 0.008656

Step-by-step explanation:

Here n= 500 and p~= 464/500= 0.928 and q`= 1- 0.928 = 0.072

We formulate our null and alternate hypothesis as

H0 =  0.9 ;       H0 > 0.9

The degree of confidence = 90%

z₀.₀₅ = 1.645 for  α= 0.05

We use the test statistic

z=  x- np/√npq

z= 466-500 *0.9/ √500 * 0.9(1-0.9)

z= 466- 450/ √45

z= 16/6.7082

z= 2.38

As the calculated value of z= 2.38  is greater than α =1.645 so we reject H0.

If H0 is true the P value is calculated as

P = 1- Ф( 2.38)

P = 1-0.991344=0.008656
