Answer:

  • -2ab = -20
  • -3a + b = -13

Concept:

Here, we need to understand the idea of evaluation.  

When encountering questions that gave you an expression with variables, then stated: "If x = a, y = b, z = c" (a, b, c are all constants), this means you should substitute the value given for each variable back to the expression.

Solve:

<h2>PART I: Find the value of -2ab</h2>

<u>Given information</u>

a = 5

b = 2

<u>Given expression</u>

-2ab

<u>Substitute values into the expression</u>

-2 (5) (2)

<u>Simplify by multiplication</u>

=-10 (2)

=\boxed{-20}

--------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------

<h2>PART II: Find the value of -3a + b</h2>

<u>Given information</u>

a = 5

b = 2

<u>Given expression</u>

-3a + b

<u>Substitute values into the expression</u>

-3 (5) + (2)

<u>SImplify by multiplication</u>

=-15 + (2)

<u>Simplify by addition</u>

=\boxed{-13}

Hope this helps!! :)

A health research institute collects information from 20 individuals on the number of years they have spent smoking cigarettes,
olga55 [171]

The correlation coefficient of the health research institute data measures the relationship between the age and the years of the smokers

The correlation coefficient is 0.53

<h3>How to calculate the correlation coefficient</h3>

The correlation coefficient (r) is calculated as:

r = \frac{n(\sum xy) - \sum x \sum y}{\sqrt{[n \sum x^2 - (\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 - (\sum y)^2}}

Using the given parameters, we have:

r = \frac{20 *8249 - 1257* 116}{\sqrt{[20 * 98823 - 1257^2][20 * 836 - 116^2}}

Evaluate the exponents

r = \frac{20 *8249 - 1257* 116}{\sqrt{[20 * 98823 - 1580049][20 * 836 - 13456}}

Evaluate the products

r = \frac{164980 - 145812}{\sqrt{[1976460 - 1580049][16720 - 13456}}

Evaluate the differences

r = \frac{19168}{\sqrt{[396411*3264}}

Evaluate the product

r = \frac{19168}{\sqrt{1293885504}}

Evaluate the root

r = \frac{19168}{35970.6}

Evaluate the quotient

r = 0.53

Hence, the correlation coefficient is 0.53

For what value of x is the expression –4x – 8 equivalent to –9x –1?
Alexeev081 [22]

The value of x where the expression –4x – 8 will be equivalent to –9x –1 will be 7/13.

<h3>How to calculate the value?</h3>

It should be noted that we are simply to find the value of x where the expression –4x – 8 will be equivalent to –9x –1.

This will be:

= +4x - 8 = -9x - 1.

4x + 9x = -1 + 8

13x = 7

Divide

x = 7/13

The value is 7/13.

If you have a job that earns $120 in 2 days, how much would you earn in 6 days? Use a chart to show the proportion of earnings f
zepelin [54]
To figure this out, we need to use fractional proportions.

Currently, we have $120, the amount earned, and 2 days, the current rate.
Our fraction for this is: 120 / 2 = x / 6, x being the amount earned in 6 days.

Let's use a little technique to help us answer faster.

With our current money earned, 120, and our current days, 2, we can divide 120 by 2 to find out how many we earned in 1 day.

120 / 2 = 60.

We earned $60 per day.

With this formula, 60d, d being the amount of days, we can solve quicker.

We are solving for 6 days, so multiply $60 by 6 days.

60 x 6 = 360

Your proportion is : 

120/2 : 360/6

I hope this helps!
