Let the required weight be X, then
z = (X - mean)/standard deviation
2 = (X - 16)/1
X - 16 = 2
X = 2 + 16
X = 18 oz.
In the instructions for this problem I am told to distribute -4x^2. Why?
the order of operations is the order in which to simlify
if you look inside the parenthases, all like terms have been combined so the inside of parenthasees have already been simlified
expanding the exponents won't make it any easier so we move to distriubiting (or mulitplying)
so then the next step is mulitply -4x^2 by the trinomial
<span>In
the order of operations you must do problems inside parentheses first.
Why does multiplying monomials by polynomials change this? </span>multiplying monomails by polynomials does not change this
<span>Would the answer come out different if I did the work according to the order of operations?
no because distributing first is what you should do if you follow order of operations

Answer:
7 is not a solution for x.
Step-by-step explanation:
To see if 7 is a solution for x, we will simply plug in the value for x and see if the left hand side is equal to the right hand side.
3x + 8 - x = 57 - 4
3(7) + 8 - (7) ?= 57 - 4
21 + 8 - 7 ?= 53
29 - 7 ?= 53
22 ?= 53 (( NO ))
Since 22 does not equal 53, 7 is not a solution for x.
Let's find the solution for x:
3x + 8 - x = 57 - 4
2x + 8 = 53
2x = 45
x = 22.5
Let's validate this solution for x:
3x + 8 - (x) = 57 - 4
3(22.5) + 8 - (22.5) ?= 57 - 4
67.5 + 8 - 22.5 ?= 53
45 + 8 ?= 53
53 == 53 (( YES ))
Since 53 is indeed equal to 53, then 22.5 is a solution for x.

The numbers are "x" and "y",
we suggest this system of equations.
x+y=24
x-y=15
solve by reduction method.
x+y=24
x-y=15
-----------------
2x=39 ⇒x=39/2=19.5
x+y=24
-(x-y=15)
-------------------
2y=9 ⇒y=9/2=4.5
The numbers are 19.5 and 4.5
To check
19.5+4.5=24
19.5-4.5=15
So here is the answer. Given that both Eric and Mark got a hamburger which is $4 each. Mark got a lemonade and some cotton candy which costs $5.
So this gives them a total of $4, $4, $5, $?(lemonade). Partial sum is $13 without the lemonade. Since Eric got a $2, the total bill was deducted with $2 and the rest of the amount is $14.50. Therefore, the total bill would have been $16.50. So $16.50 minus $13 (partial sum) is $3.50. So the lemonade costs $3.50. Hope this helps.
