Consider the puzzle:

"I have In mind a (secret) number. When I subtract 2/5 from this number I get 7. What is the number?"

To solve such puzzles we go backwards. We got 7 after we subtracted 2/5, so if we add 2/5 to 7, we get the secret number back.

Solving an equation is solving a puzzle about a secret number, which we call "x" instead of saying "something", all the time.

going backwards, means adding, if we subtracted, or dividing, if we multiplied.


So, to solve x- \frac{2}{5}=7, we just need to add 2/5 back to x:

x- \frac{2}{5}=7

x- \frac{2}{5}+\frac{2}{5}=7+\frac{2}{5}

x=7+\frac{2}{5}

to add 7 and 2/5, multiply 7 by 5/5

7+2/5=7.(5/5)+2/5=35/5+2/5=37/5



Thus x= 37/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio 10 means we are starting with 4.5 and multiplying that by 10 each time:

4.5*10=45

45*10=450

450*10=4500

Answer:

Strong Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know that the answer is between c and d because the correlation coefficient negative.

We just have to figure out whether it is strong or weak.

In general, anything between -.7 and -1 is considered to have a strong correlation. -.8 is in between -.7 and -1 therefore the correlation is best described as strong negative.
