Answer:

x = -87

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operation and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

First, subtract 265 from both sides of the equation:

3x + 265 (-265) = 4 (-265)

3x = 4 - 265

3x = -261

Next, divide 3 from both sides:

(3x)/3 = (-261)/3

x = -261/3

x = -87

x = -87 is your answer.

Answer:

If you're looking for the value of x, it's -87.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract 265 from both sides

3x+265-265 = 4-265 = 3x = -261

2. Divide by 3 to get the variable by itself

3x/3 = -261/3. = -87

x = -87

Hope this helps

Answer:

The test statistic is z=2.5.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that more than 10% of the 16 ounce cups are underfilled.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for a proportion.

The claim is that more than 10% of the 16 ounce cups are underfilled.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \pi=0.1\\\\H_a:\pi>0.1$

The significance level is assumed to be 0.05.

The sample has a size n=100.

The sample proportion is p=0.18.

$p=X/n=18/100=0.18$

The standard error of the proportion is:

$\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.1*0.9}{100}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.001}=0.03$

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

$z=\dfrac{p-\pi-0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.18-0.1-0.5/100}{0.03}=\dfrac{0.075}{0.03}=2.5$

This test is a right-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:

$P-value=P(z>2.5)=0.006$

As the P-value (0.006) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that more than 10% of the 16 ounce cups are underfilled.

A line has a slope of 5 and passes through the point (-1,2).

Andreyy89

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope=m= 5

points=(-1,2)

By point-slope form:

$y$ - $y_{1}$ =m( $x-x_{1}$ )

Substitute the values in formula:

y-2=5(x+1) (It is the point slope form)

Now,

Slope intercept form:

y-2=5x+5

y=5x+5+2

y=5x+7

The scale drawing of a rectangular room will be enlarged by a scale factor of 4 to create the actual room. The actual area of th

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The expression is equal to $\frac{150}{4^{2}}$

The area of the scale drawing is $9.375\ ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

let

z------> the scale factor

x------> the area of the actual room

y-----> the area of the scale drawing

$z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=4$

$x=150\ ft^{2}$

substitute and solve for y

$4^{2}=\frac{150}{y}$

$y=\frac{150}{4^{2}}=9.375\ ft^{2}$
