Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, |x| = x when x >= 0 and |-x| = x when x < 0.

So,there are two ways to solve this equation -2|x + 5| = 8.

In the 1st case, let's assume (x + 5) >= 0

=> |x + 5| = x + 5

=> -2(x + 5) = 8

=> x + 5 = 8 / -2 = -4

=> x = -4 - 5 = -9

In the 2nd case, let's assume (x + 5) < 0

=> |x + 5| = -(x + 5) = -x - 5

=> -2 (-x -5) = 8

=> (-x -5) = -4

=> -x = 1

=> x = -1

These are the 2 solutions by solving the math in two different ways.

I hope this helps.

Let me if you have any more questions.

Help with this one because I do not know how to do perpendicular plz put explanation with steps worth 50!
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Therefore, equation of the line that passes through (16,-7) and is perpendicular to the line 2x-3y=12 is 3x+2y=34  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  

2x-3y=12  

To Find:  

Equation of line passing through ( 16, -7) and is perpendicular to the line  

2x-3y=12  

Solution:  

2x-3y=12 ...........Given  

\therefore y=\dfrac{2}{3}\times x-4

Comparing with,  

y=mx+c  

Where m =slope  

We get  

Slope = m1 = \dfrac{2}{3}  

We know that for Perpendicular lines have product slopes = -1.

m1\times m2=-1

Substituting m1 we get m2 as

\dfrac{2}{3}\times m2=-1\\\\m2=-\dfrac{3}{2}

Therefore the slope of the required line passing through (16 , -7) will have the slope,

m2=-\dfrac{3}{2}  

Now the equation of line in slope point form given by  

(y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})  

Substituting the point (16 , -7) and slope m2 we will get the required equation of the line,  

(y-(-7))=-\dfrac{3}{2}\times (x-16)\\\\2y+14=-3x+48\\3x+2y=34......Equation\ of\ line  

Therefore, equation of the line that passes through (16,-7) and is perpendicular to the line  2x-3y=12 is

3x+2y=34

Snowcat [4.5K]

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} donuts&minutes\\ \cline{1-2} 30&60\\ 90&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{30}{90}=\cfrac{60}{x}\implies \cfrac{1}{3}=\cfrac{60}{x}\implies x=180

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer and explanation:

1. 2 × 3/10 = 6/10 = 3/5

2. 8 × 4/8 = 32/8 = 4

3. 9 × 3/9 = 27/9 = 3

4. 12 × 2/11 = 24/11 = 2 2/11

5. 3 × 5/7 = 15/7 = 2 1/7

6. 2 × 3/5 = 6/5 = 1 1/5

7. 11 × 4/8 = 44/8 = 5 4/8 = 5 1/2

8. 10 × 1/4 = 10/4 = 2 2/4 = 2 1/2

9. 5 × 1/4 = 5/4 = 1 1/4

10. 11 × 2/7 = 22/7 = 3 1/7

Hope this helps!

A survey was conducted to find out how much time people have to spend commuting to work. The sample means for two samples are 71
Lorico [155]

Answer:

E: None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The objective is to find out how much time it takes people to commute to work.

Two samples where taken and two hypothesis tests where made:

One:

Sample mean 71 min; p-value: 0.03

Two:

Sample mean 72 min; p-value: 0.06

You have to choose from the options, a possible pair of hypotheses used for these two tests.

The parameter of the study is the population mean μ.

In the statistic hypotheses, the parameters are given either a known population value or a suspected value. So all options including sample values are wrong.

As said before the objective of the survey is to "determine how much time people spend commuting to work" in other words, whether or not the population mean is equal to a certain value.

H₀: μ = μ₀

H₁: μ = μ₀

Where μ₀ represents the theoretical value of the population mean. As you can say the hypotheses pair is two-tailed, not one-tailed.

Then the correct answer is E: None of the above

I hope this helps!
