Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 - Expand brackets via distributive property:

$5(x + 2) = 6x + 3x - 14\\5(x) + 5(2) = 6x + 3x - 14\\5x + 10 = 6x + 3x - 14$

Step 2 - Combine like terms:

$5x + 10 = 6x + 3x - 14\\5x + 10 = 9x - 14$

Step 3 - Use the addition property of equality to isolate the 9x:

$5x + 10 = 9x - 14\\5x + 10 + 14 = 9x - 14 + 14\\5x + 24 = 9x$

Step 4 - Use the subtraction property of equality to move the 5x over and isolate the 24:

$5x + 24 = 9x\\5x + 24 - 5x = 9x - 5x\\24 = 4x$

Step 5 - Use the division property of equality to simplify:

$4x = 24\\\\\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{24}{4}\\\\x = 6$

Hope this helps!

In the figure, line segment VR is parallel to line segment US and m<1 = 45 degrees what is m<4?

Jobisdone [24]

The measure of ∠4 is 45°.

Solution:

Line segment VR is parallel to the line segment US.

m∠1 = 45°

∠1 and ∠4 are corresponding angles.

<em>If two lines are parallel, then the corresponding angles are congruent.</em>

m∠1 = m∠4

45° = m∠4

m∠4 = 45°

The measure of ∠4 is 45°.

Answer: C

Hello,

Step-by-step explanation:

WZ=7-3=4

YW²=XW*WZ=3*4=12 ==> WY=2√3

In the right triangle YWZ, using the Pythagorean's theorem:

YZ²=WY²+WZ²=12+4²=28

YZ=2√7≅5.29150....

The weights of dogs at a kennel are Normally distributed with a mean of 18 pounds and a standard deviation of 3.5 pounds.In whic

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

P(x=25)=P(z=2)=0.9972 or 99.72%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = 18 pounds

Standard Deviation = 3.5 pounds

x= 25

We need to find P(x=25)

First, we need to find z-score using formula: $z-score=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

Finding z-score when x=25

$z-score=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\z-score=\frac{25-18}{3.5}\\z-score=2$

So, we need to find P(z=2)=P(x=25)

Looking at z-score table we can find P(z=2)

P(z=2)=0.9972 or 99.72%

So, P(z=2)=0.9972 or 99.72%
