Mathematics

Answer: 1/10 or 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

    -(-7 - 4x) = -2(3x - 4)

      7 + 4x = -6x + 8

   * subtract 7 from both sides

            4x = -6x + 1

   * Add 6x to both sides

           10 x = 1

   * Divide both sides by 10

             x = 1/10  or 0.10

Well, you’re going to start by simplifying each side of the equation.

This step makes sure that you know to distribute the negative.

-5x + [-(-7-4x)] = -2(3x-4)

Continue to simplify. Start by distributing across the parentheses.

-5x+(7+4x)= -6x+8
-5x+4x+7= -6x+8
-x+7=-6x+8

Once you can’t simplify either side any more, you try and isolate the variable onto one side.

-x+7=-6x+8
+x. +x
________
7=-5x+8

Then isolate the constants into one side.

7=-5x+8
-8. -8
______
-1=-5x

Then make sure you have the variable being multiplied only once.

-1= -5x
—. —
-5. -5

0.2=x

And then move your variable to the left.

x=0.2

The value of x that makes the equation true is 0.2


I hope that helps!!

The scores on a math test are normally distributed with a mean of 64 and a standard deviation of 8. Tara scored 52 on the test.
Dvinal [7]
A z-score<span> is the number of standard deviations from the mean a data point is.
</span>
Standard deviation explains by how much the members of a group differ from the mean value for the group.
Using the z-score formula:
                                           z = ( x  - μ ) ÷ σ
Where;
            x = score
            μ = Mean
            σ = Standard deviation 

Z- Score (Tara) = ( 52 - 64 ) ÷ 8
                         = - 12 ÷ 8
                         = - 1.5 

Z- Score (Jamal)  = ( 82 - 64 ) ÷ 8
                             = 18 ÷ 8
                             = 2.25 

Z- Score (Samuel) = ( 66 - 64 ) ÷ 8
                               = 2 ÷ 8
                               = 0.25

What is the answer for 4a+2b=16
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
First, move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2b' to each side of the equation.
4a + -2b + 2b = 16 + 2b

Combine like terms: -2b + 2b = 0
4a + 0 = 16 + 2b4a = 16 + 2b

Divide each side by '4'.
a = 4 + 0.5b

Answer
 

= 4 + 0.5b
