Answer:

x = 8

x = 21/14

x = 8

x = 15/21

x = 1/4

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

(For all instances of number, let it be x)

Double the sum of a number and 15. The result is the same as the product of 23 and the number.

2x + 15 = 23 + x

2x - x + 15 = 23 + x - x

x + 15 = 23

x + 15 - 15 = 23 - 15

x = 8

Multiply a number by 15 and add 2. The result is the same as the sum of 23 and the number.

15x + 2 = 23 + x

14x + 2 = 23

14x = 21

x = 21/14

Double a number and add 15. The result is the same as the sum of 23 and the number.

2x + 15 = 23 + x

x + 15 = 23

x = 8

Double a number and add 15. The result is the same as the product of 23 and the number. (This time we will move the x to the other side as the right side has a larger x than the left side)

2x + 15 = 23x

15 = 21x

x = 15/21

Multiply a number by 15 and add 2. The result is the same as the product of 23 and the number.

15x + 2 = 23x

2 = 8x

2/8 = x

x = 1/4

Double the sum of a number and 15. The result is the same as the sum of 23 and the number.

2(x + 15) = 23 + x

2x + 30 = 23 + x

x + 30 = 23

x = 7

A study reported that finger rings increase the growth of bacteria on health-care workers' hands. Research suggests that 31 perc
raketka [301]

Answer:

Despite some evidence that suggest that finger ring use is associated with higher bacterial

colonization, healthcare providers continue to wear finger rings in a healthcare setting. The aim

of this systematic review was to synthesize the evidence to date regarding whether finger ring

use increases bacterial colonization of healthcare providers' hands. Articles that studied the

association finger ring use with hand hygiene and bacterial colonization were searched using

PubMed, Google Scholar, and Georgia State University's online library systems. The overall

results of this review suggest that finger ring use does increase the bacterial colonization on the

hands of HCPs but not with significant difference when compared to no finger ring use;

therefore, further research needs to be conducted to decide whether finger rings should be used in

a healthcare setting or not.

Which is a graph for the inequality x>2?
skad [1K]

Answer: The one you have selected is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x > 2 does not include the value of 2, the circle must be open.

The direction is to the right because it's every value which is bigger than 2.
