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!

Step-by-step explanation:

How to find "x"

3x = 4 + 2(3 - x) *Remove the parentheses*

3x = 4 + 6 - 2x *Calculate*

3x = 10 - 2x *Move the variable to the left*

3x + 2x = 10 *Collect the terms*

5x = 10 *Divide both sides*

x = 2

I hope the helped!!!

According to the data, the mean quantitative score on a standardized test for female college-bound high school seniors was 500.
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

6.68% of the female college-bound high school seniors had scores above 575.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 500

Standard Deviation, σ = 50

We are given that the distribution of score is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(scores above 575)

P(x > 575)

P( x > 575) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{575 - 500}{50}) = P(z > 1.5)

= 1 - P(z \leq 1.5)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 575) = 1 - 0.9332= 0.0668 = 6.68\%

6.68% of the female college-bound high school seniors had scores above 575.
