Hey there!


• ORIGINAL EQUATION
3x - 5 + x = 31


• Conversion
3x - 5 + 1x = 31

• COMBINE the LIKE TERMS
4x - 5 = 31

• ADD 5 to BOTH SIDES
4x - 5 + 5 = 31 + 5
‣ CANCEL out: -5 + 5 because it give you 1
‣ KEEP: 31 + 5 because it help solve for the x-value

• NEW EQUATION
4x = 31 + 5

• SIMPLIFY IT!

4x = 36

• DIVIDE 4 to BOTH SIDES
4x/4 = 36/4
‣ CANCEL out: 4/4 because it give you 1
‣ KEEP: 36/4 because it help solve for the x-value

• NEW EQUATION
x = 36/4

• SIMPLIFY IT!

x = 9

Therefore, your answer is: x = 9



Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Describe the relationship between n and 4 that will make the value of the expression 7×n/4 great her than 7
nadezda [96]
If you want an answer greater that 7, your fraction needs to be greater than 1.
n can be any number greater than 4

7 \times  \frac{4}{4}  = 7
7 \times  \frac{8}{4}  = 14

Each of the following data sets has a mean of x = 10. (i) 8 9 10 11 12 (ii) 7 9 10 11 13 (iii) 7 8 10 12 13 (a) Without doing an
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given are 3 data sets with values as:

(i) 8 9 10 11 12   ... Mean =10

(ii) 7 9 10 11 13    ... Mean =10

(iii) 7 8 10 12 13   ... Mean =10

We see that  data set shows mean deviations as

(i) -2 -1 0 1 2  

(ii) -3 -1 0 1 3    

(iii) -3 -2 0 2 3  

Since variance is the square of std deviation, we find that std deviation is larger when variance is larger.

Variance is the sum of squares of (x-mean).  Whenever x-mean increases variance increases and also std deviation.

Hence we find that without calculations also (i) has least std dev followed by (ii) and then (iii)

(i) (ii) (iii) is the order.

b) Between (i) and (ii) we find that 3 entries are the same and 2 entries differ thus increasing square by 9-4 twice.  But between (ii) and (iii) we find that

increase in square value would be 4-1 twice. Obviously the latter is less.
