2x-6=2x+2

We move all terms to the left:

2x-6-(2x+2)=0

We get rid of parentheses

2x-2x-2-6=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-8!=0

There is no solution for this equation

4(2x - 5) + 15 = 11 Write the steps you will use to solve the equation and explain each step.

vagabundo [1.1K]

First, multiply 4*2x-4*-5= 8x-20.
Second, add 15 to 8x-20
Third, that would equal 8x-20+15=11
Fourth, 15+-20= -5
Fifth, 8x-5=11
Sixth, add +5 to -5 and +5 to 11= 8x=16
Last, do 8x/8x and 16/8x
The answer is x=2

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

13, 11, 4, 16, 6, 22

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let the second digit be x and the last digit be y</em>

Given:

Data set: 13, x, 4, 16, 6, y
Mean = 12
y = 2x or x = 2y

The mean of the data is the average. The average can be calculated by determining the sum of the terms and dividing it by the total digits.

$\implies \text{Mean of data:} \ \dfrac{13 + x + 4 + 16 + 6 + y}{6} = 12$

Let us substitute the value of y (2x) in the data.

$\implies \dfrac{13 + x + 4 + 16 + 6 + 2x}{6} = 12$

Now, add all the terms in the data and simplify.

$\implies \dfrac{39 + x +2x}{6} = 12$

$\implies \dfrac{39 + 3x}{6} = 12$

Distribute the denominators and simplify.

$\implies \dfrac{39}{6} + \dfrac{3x}{6} = 12$

$\implies \dfrac{13}{2} + \dfrac{x}{2} = 12$

$\implies 6.5 + \dfrac{x}{2} = 12$

Subtract 6.5 both sides and simplify.

$\implies 6.5 + \dfrac{x}{2} - 6.5 = 12 - 6.5$

$\implies \dfrac{x}{2} = 5.5$

Use cross multiplication and simplify.

$\implies x= 5.5 \times 2$

$\implies x= 11$

To determine the value of "y", simply substitute the value of "x" into the expression that represents the value of "y".

$\implies y = 2x$

$\implies y = 2(11)$

$\implies y = 22$

When the x and y values are substituted in the data, we get;

⇒ 13, 11, 4, 16, 6, 22

Therefore, the data is 13, 11, 4, 16, 6, 22.

In the spinner below, what is true about the probability of landing on 3 and the probability of landing on 4?

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

C.The probabilities are equal.

The above statement is the only TRUE statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given number of total possibilities are { 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}

So, number of total outcomes = 10

Let E : Event of spinner landing on 3

and E' : Even of spinner landing on 4

{Probability of Event E} = $\frac{\textrm{Total number of favorable outcomes}}{\textrm{Toatl outcomes}}$

$\implies P(E) = \frac{1}{10}$

⇒ P( landing on 3 ) = 1/10

and $P(E') = \frac{1}{10}$

P( landing on 4 ) = 1/10

Now, the given statements are

A.The probability of landing on 3 is less than probability of landing on 4.

FALSE, as both the probabilities are equal to 1/10.

B.The probability of landing on 3 is greater than probability of landing on 4.

FALSE, as both have same probabilities.

C.The probabilities are equal.

TRUE, both have same probability = 1/10

D.The probabilities cannot be predicted

FALSE, the probability are predictable.

1. A student took 60 minutes to answer a combination of 20 multiple-choice and extended-response questions. She took 2 minutes t

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

1) m=15 and r =5

2) 4 and 2 ml

3) x= 0.5 and y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

given that m multiple choice questions and r extended response questions.

Also given that a) m+r = total no of questions =20 ... i and

2m+6r = total time taken = 60 ... ii

b) Divide second equation by 2, m+3r = 30 ... iii

m+r = 20 ... i

Subtract to get 2r =10 or r =5

m = 20-5 = 15

Verify: m+r = 15+5 =20

and 2m+6r = 30+30 = 60 minutes.

Hence verified

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

2) Let a litres of 20% solution and b litres of 50% solution be mixed

a) Then total volume = 6 ml = a+b ... i

Resulting solution = 30% of 6 ml = 1.8 = 0.2a+0.5b ... ii

b) Solve i and ii

b = 6-a: substitute in ii.

0.2a + 3-0.5a = 1.8

Or a = 4 ml and b = 2ml

Verify: Total volume = a+b =6ml and

concentration = 0.2(4)+0.5(2) = 1.8 = 30% of 6 ml.

Thus verified

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

3) 2x-3y=4 ...i

2x-5y =6... ii

Because x term has the same coefficient in both the equations, elimination is easier.

i-ii gives 2y =-2 or y =-1

Substitute in i, 2x+3 =4 or x = 0.5

So answer is x = 0.5 and y =1
