Solve ax + b = cx + d for x.

Mathematics

Answer: X = (d-b) / (a-c)

This way this worded is weird but I think I got it

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract B from both sides

ax = cx +d -b

Then subtract CX from both sides

ax -cx =d-b

Distributive Property

x(a-c) =d-b

Divide both sides by a-c

X = (d-b) / (a-c)

∠A and ∠B are adjacent. The sum of their measures is 92∘. ∠A measures (2x+5)∘. ∠B is three times the size of ∠A.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Equation: 2x + 5 + 6x + 15 = 92

Solution: x = 9

m∠A =23° m∠B = 69°

Step-by-step explanation:

measure of ∠B = 3(2x + 5) = 6x + 15

The sum of the angles = 92 = 2x + 5 + 6x + 15

92 = 8x + 20

72 = 8x

x = 9

m∠A = 2(9) + 5 = 18 + 5 = 23

m∠B = 6(9) + 15 = 54 + 15 = 69

Check: 23 + 69 = 92 and 23(3) = 69

If x-5(x-7)=-7 then x equals what?

NeX [460]

Expand

simplify x - 5x + 35 to -4x + 35

subtract 35 from both sides

simplify -7 - 35 to -42

divide both sides by -4

two negatives make a positive

simplify 42/4 to 21/2

Answer: x = 21/2.

Which is the correct answer?

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The correct answer is y = 12x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a formula called y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

The y-intercept is 9 so y = mx + 9

The slope is 12/1 or just 12 so y = 12x + 9

The prices of all college textbooks follow a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of $113 and a standard deviation of $12. Using

Soloha48 [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, the empirical rule states that for a normally distributed random variable,

68.27% of the data lies within one standard deviation of the mean.

95.45% of the data lies within two standard deviations of the mean.

99.73% of the data lies within three standard deviations of the mean.

In mathematical notation, as shown in the figure below (for a standard normal distribution), the empirical rule is described as

$\Phi(\mu \ - \ \sigma \ \leq X \ \leq \mu \ + \ \sigma) \ = \ 0.6827 \qquad (4 \ \text{s.f.}) \\ \\ \\ \Phi(\mu \ - \ 2\sigma \ \leq X \ \leq \mu \ + \ 2\sigma) \ = \ 0.9545 \qquad (4 \ \text{s.f.}) \\ \\ \\ \Phi}(\mu \ - \ 3\sigma \ \leq X \ \leq \mu \ + \ 3\sigma) \ = \ 0.9973 \qquad (4 \ \text{s.f.})$

where the symbol $\Phi$ (the uppercase greek alphabet phi) is the cumulative density function of the normal distribution, $\mu$ is the mean and $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the normal distribution defined as $N(\mu, \ \sigma)$ .

According to the empirical rule stated above, the interval that contains the prices of 99.7% of college textbooks for a normal distribution $N(113, \ 12)$ ,

$\Phi(113 \ - \ 3 \ \times \ 12 \ \leq \ X \ \leq \ 113 \ + \ 3 \ \times \ 12) \ = \ 0.9973 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{1.75cm} \Phi(113 \ - \ 36 \ \leq \ X \ \leq \ 113 \ + \ 36) \ = \ 0.9973 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{3.95cm} \Phi(77 \ \leq \ X \ \leq \ 149) \ = \ 0.9973$

Therefore, the price of 99.7% of college textbooks falls inclusively between $77 and $149.
