<span>3x + (x-8) = 23
Combine like terms first. You can combine 3x and x because they have the same variable.
4x - 8 = 23
Now add 8 to both sides.
4x = 31
Last step is to divide both sides by 4 to isolate the x.
4/4x = 31/4
x = 7.75 is the answer.</span>
The largest is 0.530000 because it is closest to 1. The 5 is the largest in the tenths place.
We know there are a total of 36 marbles. We also know 24 out of 36 are black and 12 out of 36 are blue. A ratio is pretty much a division problem... The problem wants the 24 black marbles over the 12 blue marbles. So, 24/12 = 2/1. Now, what this means is that for every 2 black marbles, there is one 1 blue marble. Good luck!
She knits 18 squares on Monday.
Then she knits 7 more squares each day:
Tuesday: +7, Wednesday: +7, Thursday: +7 and Friday: +7
18 + 7 * 4 = 18 + 28 = 46
Answer: She has 46 squares on Friday.
Answer: A. It is more susceptible to bias than would be a simple random sample.
hope this helps
