Isaac wants the equation below to have no solution when the missing number is placed in the box.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation: To have an equation with no solution you have to get something like 0=1 meaning you have to remove all the variables. In this equation you would distribute to get xy+2y+2x=2x+12+4x where y is the missing number. then combining like terms you get xy+2x+2y=6x+12. Subtracting 2x from both sides you get xy+2y=4x+12. Now to get the variables gone y has to be 4 so that the variables to cancel out. By plugging in 4 you can see this works; 4x+8=4x+12 and by subtracting 4x from both sides you get 8=12 which is not true meaning there is no solution.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

17.11%

Step-by-step explanation:

since 43.2 months is the mean, and the standard deviation is 7.7 months

that means if we take the z score:

z=(36-43.2)/7.7

now that we know how many standard deviations you are away from the mean: -0.9351

using the zscore table you can find the proportion, or you can use the calculator if you have one that can do that.

you get 0.1711 which in percentages is 17.11%

$\huge\underline{\red{A}\blue{n}\pink{s}\purple{w}\orange{e}\green{r} -}$

Given - an equation in a standard form

To do - simplify the equation so as to obtain an easier one

Since the equation provided isn't in it's general form , let's first convert it ~

General form of a Linear equation -

$\bold{ax + b = 0}$

The equation after getting converted will be as follows ~

$- 7 + ( \frac{4x + 2}{2} ) = 8 \\ \\ \implies \: \frac{ - 14 + 4x + 2}{2} = 8 \\ \\ \implies \: - 14 + 4x + 2 = 16 \\ \\ \implies \: 4x = 16 + 14 - 2 \\ \\ \implies \: 4x = 28 \\ \\\bold{ General \: form \: \dashrightarrow \: 4x - 28 = 0}$
