Hi there!

$\large\boxed{x = -3}$

Begin by distributing the 5:

5(2x) + 5(-12) = -90

Simplify:

10x - 60 = -90

Add 60 to both sides:

10x = -90 + 60

10x = -30

Divide both sides by 10:

x = -3

Answer:

x = -3

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 operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

First, divide 5 from both sides of the equation:

5(2x - 12) = -90

(5(2x - 12))/5 = (-90)/5

2x - 12 = -90/5

2x - 12 = -18

Next, add 12 to both sides of the equation:

2x - 12 (+12) = -18 (+12)

2x = -18 + 12

2x = -6

Finally, divide 2 from both sides of the equation:

(2x)/2 - (-6)/2

x = -6/2

x = -3

-3 is your answer for x.

6.Suppose the Gallup Organization wants to estimate the population proportion of those who think there should be a law that woul

drek231 [11]

Answer:

A sample of $n = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.3696*0.6304}}{E})^2$ is needed, in which E is the desired margin of error, as a proportion. If we find a decimal value, we round up to the next whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is of:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In a previous study of 1012 randomly chosen respondents, 374 said that there should be such a law.

This means that $n = 1012, \pi = \frac{374}{1012} = 0.3696$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

How large a sample size is needed to be 95% confident with a margin of error of E?

A sample size of n is needed, and n is found when M = E.

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$E = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.3696*0.6304}{n}}$

$E\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.3696*0.6304}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.3696*0.6304}}{E}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.3696*0.6304}}{E})^2$

$n = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.3696*0.6304}}{E})^2$

A sample of $n = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.3696*0.6304}}{E})^2$ is needed, in which E is the desired margin of error, as a proportion. If we find a decimal value, we round up to the next whole number.

Find the missing side

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember SOHCAHTOA

Soh...

Sine = Opposite / Hypotenuse

...cah...

Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

...toa

Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent

In this case we use TOA.

tan(71) = x/34

x = tan(71) * 34

x = 98.7
