Answer:

x=10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

x will be a number

2(x-8)=5 --> I'm assuming your question is " twice the difference of a number and 8 equals 5.

Solving

2(x-8)=5

2x-16=5 --> distrubute the 2--> 2*x = 2x and 2*-8 = 16

2x=16+5--> add 16 to other side of x

2x=21--> add like terms

2x / 2 =21 / 2--> single out x

x=10.5 --> 21/2 --> just divide

Which of the following statements are true? check all that apply.

Margaret [11]

Answer:

1 and 5 are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The mean is affected by outliers. - TRUE

(the mean is the average so each of its values affect it.)

2. The mean is always a more accurate measure of center than the median. - FALSE

(the mean gives a better idea of the values while the the central values for normal distributions are described using the median value.)

3. Removing an outlier from a data set will cause the standard deviation to increase. - FALSE

(it makes the data set more normal by reducing the standard deviation, not increasing it. )

4. If the data set’s distribution is skewed, then 95%of its values will fall between two standard deviations of the mean. - FALSE

(the 68-95-99.9 rule works for the normal distribution, but the skewed distribution.)

5. If a data set’s distribution to skewed to the right, its mean will be larger than its median. - TRUE

(the mean is always pulled towards the direction of the skewness.)

A garden table and a bench cost $804 combined the garden table costs $46 less than the bench. What is the cost of the bench

dsp73

Answer:

The cost of the bench is 425 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the garden table.

Let y represent the bench.

x + y = 804

x = y - 46

Use the substitution method.

y - 46 + y = 804

2y - 46 = 804

Add 46 to both sides.

2y = 850

Divide both sides by 2.

y = 425

Answer:

The cost of the bench is 425 dollars.
