we know the blue and white paints are on a 1.5 : 5 ratio, thus, if we have a total of 16.25 gallons of paint to be split along that ratio, we can simply divide 16.25 by (1.5+5) and distribute accordingly.
Answer: Question 1.1: It is 1.5 standard deviations away from the mean.
Our value of 26 is 6 units about the mean of 20. If each standard deviation is 4, we just divide 6 by 4. This gives us the number of standard deviations.
Question 2.2 The correct answer is -0.52
If we are 0.52 standard deviations below the mean, then our z-score is simply -0.52. The definition of a z-score is the number of standard deviations from the mean.
To solve these problems, we must remember the distributive property. This property states that a coefficient being multiplied by a polynomial in parentheses is equal to the sum of the coefficient times each of the separate terms. Using this knowledge, let's begin with number 21:
-(4x + 17) + 3(7-x)
To begin, we should distribute the negative sign through the first set of parentheses and the coefficient of positive 3 through the second set of parentheses.
-4x - 17 + 21 - 3x
Next, we must combine like terms, or add/subtract the constants terms and the variable terms in order to create a more concise expression.
-7x + 4 (your answer)
Now, we can move on to question 22 and solve it in a similar manner:
7(2n-8) - 4(12 - 8n)
Again, we will distribute the coefficients through the parentheses. However, keep in mind that the coefficient in front of the second set of parentheses is actually a NEGATIVE 4, so we must distribute the negative as well.
14n - 56 - 48 + 32n
Next, we will combine like terms (add the n terms together and subtract the constant terms).
46n - 104
Now, we can solve problem 23:
8 + 2(5f - 3)
We will again distribute through the parentheses:
8 + 10f - 6
Combine like terms after that:
10f + 2
Therefore, your answers for the three problems are as follows:
21) -7x + 4
22) 46n - 104
23) 10f + 2
Hope this helps!
