What is wrong with the following equation: 8 + (6/2) = 17 - 5

1 answer:

6 0

8+6/2=17-5

We can start by reducing the fraction using basic division.

Remember, numerator divided by denominator.

6 \ 2 = 3.

Rewrite the equation-

8+3=17-5

It doesn’t matter which side of the equal sign you start with, but in this case I started with the right hand.

8+3= 11

Rewrite-

11=17-5

Now subtract.

17-5=12

Write the equality.

11=12.

This is false.

11≠12.

I need help with this question. check your solution please show WORK please. 5 = x + 8

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

5 = x + 8

You need to get x by Itself so subtract 8 to both sides.

5 - 8 = -3

so therefore x = - 3

Find the equation of the line that passes through (0, -3) and is parallel to

Tresset [83]

Hey there!

$\\$

Answer:

$\green{\boxed{\red{\bold{\sf{y = \dfrac{7}{6}x - 3}}}}}$

$\\$

Explanation:

To find the equation of a line, we first have to determine its slope knowing that parallel lines have the same slope.

Let the line that we are trying to determine its equation be $\: \sf{d_1} \:$ and the line that is parallel to $\: \sf{d_1} \:$ be $\: \sf{d_2} \:$ .

$\sf{d_2} \:$ passes through the points (9 , 2) and (3 , -5) which means that we can find its slope using the slope formula:

$\sf{m = \dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{\green{y_2} - \orange{y_1}}{\red{x_2} - \blue{x_1 }}}$

$\\$

⇒Subtitute the values :

$\sf{(\overbrace{\blue{9}}^{\blue{x_1}}\: , \: \overbrace{\orange{2}}^{\orange{y_1}}) \: \: and \: \: (\overbrace{\red{3}}^{\red{x_2}} \: , \: \overbrace{\green{-5}}^{\green{y_2}} )}$

$\implies \sf{m = \dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{\green{-5} - \orange{2}}{\red{ \: \: 3} - \blue{9 }} = \dfrac{ - 7}{ - 6} = \boxed{ \bold{\dfrac{7}{6} }}}$

$\sf{\bold{The \: slope \: of \: both \: lines \: is \: \dfrac{7}{6}}}$ .

Assuming that we want to get the equation in Slope-Intercept Form, let's substitute m = 7/6:

Slope-Intercept Form:

$\sf{y = mx + b} \\ \sf{Where \: m \: is \: the \: slope \: of \: the \: line \: and \: b \: is \: the \: y-intercept.}$

$\implies \sf{y = \bold{\dfrac{7}{6}}x + b}$ $\\$

We know that the coordinates of the point (0 , -3) verify the equation since it is on the line $\: \sf{d_1} \:$ . Now, replace y with -3 and x with 0:

$\implies \sf{\overbrace{-3}^{y} = \dfrac{7}{8} \times \overbrace{0}^{x} + b} \\ \\ \implies \sf{-3 = 0 + b} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \implies \sf{\boxed{\bold{b = -3}} } \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:$

Therefore, the equation of the line $\: \bold{d_1} \:$ is $\green{\boxed{\red{\bold{\sf{y = \dfrac{7}{6}x - 3}}}}}$

After you complete your survey of students reported heights at your school, you discover that your sample is biased. Exactly 10%

Readme [11.4K]

What we can say with a good deal of certainty is that our sample is biased towards the higher spectrum and that the real value of the mean for our population is lower than the obtained value of our sample. If this is true, we should expect for the standard deviation to be higher than in the population.

Experimentally verify sum of three angles of an triangle is 180⁰.

svetlana [45]

Draw line a through points A and B. Draw line b through point C and parallel to line a.

Since lines a and b are parallel, <)BAC = <)B'CA and <)ABC = <)BCA'.

It is obvious that <)B'CA + <)ACB + <)BCA' = 180 degrees.

Thus <)ABC + <)BCA + <)CAB = 180 degrees.

Lemma

If ABCD is a quadrilateral and <)CAB = <)DCA then AB and DC are parallel.

Proof

Assume to the contrary that AB and DC are not parallel.

Draw a line trough A and B and draw a line trough D and C.

These lines are not parallel so they cross at one point. Call this point E.

Notice that <)AEC is greater than 0.

Since <)CAB = <)DCA, <)CAE + <)ACE = 180 degrees.

Hence <)AEC + <)CAE + <)ACE is greater than 180 degrees.

Contradiction. This completes the proof.

Definition

Two Triangles ABC and A'B'C' are congruent if and only if

|AB| = |A'B'|, |AC| = |A'C'|, |BC| = |B'C'| and,

<)ABC = <)A'B'C', <)BCA = <)B'C'A', <)CAB = <)C'A'B'.

Suppose that we were going to conduct a study to determine if there is an decrease in risk of getting lung cancer based on wheth

nalin [4]

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

In group(1), the risk is= 5/2000 x 100

= 0.25

In group(2), the risk is= 5/1000 x 100

= 0.5

The sample relative risk is= 0.25/0.5

= 0.5

So, option C is correct.
