Let's get the same terms on the same side.
I am going to remove 5x from both sides of the equation by subtracting 5x

5x - 5x -7 = 7x -5x - 17
-7 = 2x - 17 now lets remove the 17 from both sides
-7 + 17 = 2x (why do we add 17? Think of 2x -17 as 2x + -17. Tor remove a negative number we add it.
Now we finally have 10=2x and if we divide both sides by 2

10 = 2x
2 2 we get that x = 5
Let's check by substituting 5 in the original equation:
5(5) - 7 = 7(5) - 17
25 - 7 = 35 - 17
18 = 18

Answer: We should reject the null if the test statistic is greater than 1.895.

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the population to be normally distributed.

Given: Sample size : $n=8$ , which is asmall sample (n<30), so we use t-test.

We always reject the null hypothesis if the absolute t-value is greater than critical value.

Therefore, We should reject the null if the test statistic is greater than 1.895.

The graph of a proportional relationship passes through (12,16) and (1,y). find y

anastassius [24]

Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship is a relationship that crosses through the origin or (0,0). This means the slope of the line can be found by subtracting the points (12,16) and (0,0) in the slope formula.

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{16-0}{12-0}= \frac{16}{12}=\frac{4}{3}$

So the slope is 4/3 and must be the value between any two points on the line.

This means the function moves from (0,0) to (1, 4/3).
