Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting a positive number moves you to the left on the number line. Subtracting a negative number moves you in the opposite direction, to the right.

Here, we start at -2 1/2 = -5/2, and we move 1 3/4 = 7/4 to the right from there. Each mark on this number line is 1/4 unit, so we move 7 marks. The results is ...

-2 1/2 -(-1 3/4) = -5/2 +7/4

= -10/4 +7/4 = -3/4

Option #2 – charges 7% simple interest per year; this is a short-term loan for only 3-years.

Option #3 – charges 3.2% simple interest per year; there is no time limit on this loan (as a group determine how long you think it will take you to make enough money to be able to pay back the loan with interest)

Solve equation<br>8-3(p-4)=2p

LenKa [72]

Answer:

ok the answer is: p=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

First you distribute 3 times p-4 and get 8-3p+12=2p then you add 12 plus 8 and get 20 then you have 20-3p=2p you have to add 3p on both sides and you get 20= -5p you divide and get p= -4

$\textsf{Mean}\:\overline{X}=\sf \dfrac{\textsf{sum of all the data values}}{\textsf{total number of data values}}$

$\implies \sf Mean\:(Nilo)=\dfrac{5+6+14+15}{4}=\dfrac{40}{4}=10$

$\implies \sf Mean\:(Lisa)=\dfrac{8+9+11+12}{4}=\dfrac{40}{4}=10$

<h3><u>Standard Deviation</u></h3>

$\displaystyle \textsf{Standard Deviation }s=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum X^2-\dfrac{(\sum X)^2}{n}}{n-1}}$

$\begin{aligned}\displaystyle \textsf{Standard Deviation (Nilo)} & =\sqrt{\dfrac{(5^2+6^2+14^2+15^2)-\dfrac{(5+6+14+15)^2}{4}}{4-1}}\\\\& = \sqrt{\dfrac{482-\dfrac{40^2}{4}}{3}}\\\\& = \sqrt{\dfrac{82}{3}}\\\\& = 5.23\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}\displaystyle \textsf{Standard Deviation (Lisa)} & =\sqrt{\dfrac{(8^2+9^2+11^2+12^2)-\dfrac{(8+9+11+12)^2}{4}}{4-1}}\\\\& = \sqrt{\dfrac{410-\dfrac{40^2}{4}}{3}}\\\\& = \sqrt{\dfrac{10}{3}}\\\\& = 1.83\end{aligned}$

<h3><u>Summary</u></h3>

Nilo has a mean score of 10 and a standard deviation of 5.23.

Lisa has a mean score of 10 and a standard deviation of 1.83.

The <u>mean</u> scores are the <u>same</u>.

Nilo's standard deviation is higher than Lisa's. Therefore, Nilo's test scores are more <u>spread out</u> that Lisa's, which means Lisa's test scores are more <u>consistent</u>.

A group of college students are going to a lake house for the weekend and plan on renting small cars and large cars to make the

Alexus [3.1K]

4x+6y=56 and y=4x can be used to determine the number of small cars rented and the number of large cars rented, where x represents number of small cars and y represents number of large cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of people hold by small cars = 4

Number of people hold by large cars = 6

Let,

Number of small cars = x

Number of large cars = y

The students rented 4 times as many large cars as small cars,

y = 4x Eqn 1

which altogether can hold 56 people.

4x+6y=56 Eqn 2

4x+6y=56 and y=4x can be used to determine the number of small cars rented and the number of large cars rented, where x represents number of small cars and y represents number of large cars.
