If 15% of 4x is 20 less than x, what is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bess [88]3 years ago
4 0

The sentence "15% of 4x is 20 less than x"

translates to    0.15 • (4x)  = x – 20

Solving that…

    0.15(4x) = x - 20           multiplipy 0.15•4

          0.6x = x - 20           subtract x from both sides

         -0.4x = - 20              divide both sides by -0.4

                x = 50

5x-2y=-10 3x+6y=66 using elimination method
kirza4 [7]

\huge{ANSWER}

5x -2y = -10 .....1

3x + 6y =66......2

on multiplying eq. 1 by 3

5x -2y = -10 .....1 ×3

15x -6y =-30

now subtract both equations ,

15x -6y =-30

3x + 6y =66

-___-_____-_

12x =-96

x= -8.

putting value of x in eq 1

5×8 -2y =-10

40 -2y =-10

40-10=2y

50=2y

25=y.

A 90 percent confidence interval for the slope of a regression line is determined to be (-0.181, 1.529). Which of the following
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer: a. The correlation coefficient of the data is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimated slope of sample regression line  = \dfrac{Upper \ limit + lower\ limit}{2}

Here , confidence interval :  (-0.181, 1.529)

Estimated slope of sample regression line  = \dfrac{-0.181+1.529}{2}

=\dfrac{1.348}{2}\\\\=0.674\ \ \ \ [\text{ positive}]

⇒Correlation coefficient(r) must be positive, So a. is true.

But, d. and e. are wrong(0.674 ≠ 0 or 1.348).

We cannot check residuals or its sum from confidence interval of slope of a regression line, so b is wrong.

We cannot say that scatterplot is linear as we cannot determine it from interval, so c. is wrong

So, the correct option : a. The correlation coefficient of the data is positive.

Which fraction shows the ratio 16:200 as a fraction simplified form
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

C. \frac{2}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a ratio 16:200 and we are asked to find the ratio as a fraction in simplified form.

Since ratio compares two numbers or two quantities that are measured with the same unit.

Upon converting our ratio into fraction we will get,

\frac{16}{200}

Let us cancel out greatest common factor from numerator and denominator of our fraction to simplify it.

\frac{16}{200}=\frac{8*2}{25*8}

After cancelling out 8 we will get,

\frac{2}{25}

Therefore, our fraction simplifies to \frac{2}{25} and option C is the correct choice.
