Answer:

x = 10
AB = 3
BC = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

If B lies between A and C on a line segment, then ...

AB +BC = AC

(2x -17) +(x +1) = 14

3x = 30 . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 16, collect terms

x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

AB = 2(10)-17 = 3

BC = 10+1 = 11

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \beta_1 = 0$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_1 : \beta_1 \ne 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number observations is $n = 100$

The annual salary (in dollars) is y

The mean score on teaching evaluation is x

The the relationship between the y and x is

$y = \beta_0 + \beta _1 x + \epsilon$

Where $\beta _1$ is the mean of the equation so

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \beta_1 = 0$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_1 : \beta_1 \ne 1$

If the value of a real number x satisfies -2x + 5= -1, then what is the value of 5x

Nitella [24]

-2x + 5 = -1

subtract 5 from both sides: -2x = -6

divide each side by -2: x = 3

plug in 3: 5(3)

multiply: 15

the value of 5x is 15.
