Answer:

- 120

Step-by-step explanation:

call x is the number you want to find

  1. (3/4 )x + 3\frac{1}{2} = (2/3)x - 6\frac{1}{2}
  2. (3/4)x + (7/2) = (2/3)x - (13/2)
  3. (3/4)x - (2/3)x = - (13 /2) - (7/2)
  4. (1/12)x = -10
  5. x = -10 / (1/12) = -120

Solve for x.<br> x/5=20 <br> what does X equalllll
alexandr402 [8]

When you have a variable in an equation, you have to isolate it on one side. To do this, look for any other numbers and if they are added, multiplied, divided, or subtracted from x.

Next, you take that number and do the opposite of its operation to the other side.

In this example, you have x/5=20

So we first identify that x is being divided by 5

Then we take 5, and do the opposite of division to 20.

So x/5=20  turns into x = 5x20

Then we simplify, x = 100.

If your not sure your answer is write, you can always put the value of x back into the first equation and solve to see if its true:

X/5=20

100/5=20

20=20

An analysis of the grades on the first test in History 101 revealed that they approximate a normal curve with a mean of 75 and a
QveST [7]

Answer:

b. 85

Step-by-step explanation:

Average grade (μ) = 75

Standard deviation (σ) = 8

Assuming a normal distribution, the z-score corresponding to the upper 10% of the test grades is z = 1.28.

The minimum grade 'X' within the top 10% is given by:

z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\1.28=\frac{X-75}{8}\\X=85.24

Rounding to the nearest percent, the dividing point between an A and a B grade is 85.

The equation of line q is 5y - 4x = 10. Write an equation of the line that is perpendicular to q and passes through the point (-
Hitman42 [59]
Y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept


perpendicuar lines have slopes that multiply to get -1
so
solving for y
add 4x both sides and divide by5 to get
y=4/5x+2
slope is 4/5


perpendicular means the slopes multiply to get -1
so
4/5 times what=-1?
what=-5/4

so
y=(-5/4)x+b
find b
given the point (-15,8)
8=(-5/4)(-15)+b
8=75/4+b
-43/4=b

y=(-5/4)x-43/4
