Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this equation, first we need to make the equation easier to read.

So instead of:

8x - (-5) = 29

We will do:

8x + 5 = 29

(Note that we have a plus sign now, because subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number.)

Next we move the 5 to the other side of the equal sign, by subtracting it.

Now we have:

8x = 24

Finally we isolate the x variable, by dividing by 8 on both sides.

(24 ÷ 8 = 3)

Our answer is 3, therefore x = 3.

Hope this helps you :)

Select the correct answer. Twenty students in Class A and 20 students in Class B were asked how many hours they took to prepare

Lunna [17]

Answer:

B: The mean study time of students in Class B is less than students in Class A.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out why answer B is the right answer, I will give you facts from each option.

Option A is false. The mean study time in Class A is 4.8. Meanwhile in Class B it is 4. For Class A, sum up the 20 study times which is 96 and divide them by 20, you will get 4.8 hours of mean study time. For Class B, the sum of the 20 study times is 80, which divided by 20 will be 4.

Option B is True. See previous explanation.

Option C is False. The median study time in Class B is 4. The median study time in Class A is 4.8,

Option D is False. The range in Class A is from 2 to 8. The range in Class B is from 2 to 7.

Option E is False: The mean and median study time of these classes is different.

Sketch and write the equation for each line : y = mx +b

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

equation y =7/4x+1

slope = 7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two points so we can find the slope

m =(y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

= (4--3)/(2--2)

= (4+3) / (2+2)

= 7/4

We know the slope and the y intercept

We can write the equation using y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y= 7/4x +1

We put at dot at (0,1) and then go up 7 and to the right 4 . We put another dot

Connect the dots and we have our line.

We could also put dots at (-2,-3) and (2,4) and connect the dots.
