3x+2-5x=10 what is X

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

3 x - 5 x + 2 = 10

Grouping like terms, 3 x - 5 x + 2 = 2 + (3 x - 5 x):

2 + (3 x - 5 x) = 10

3 x - 5 x = -2 x:

-2 x + 2 = 10

Subtract 2 from both sides:

(2 - 2) - 2 x = 10 - 2

2 - 2 = 0:

-2 x = 10 - 2

10 - 2 = 8:

-2 x = 8

Divide both sides of -2 x = 8 by -2:

(-2 x)/(-2) = 8/(-2)

(-2)/(-2) = 1:

x = 8/(-2)

The gcd of 8 and -2 is 2, so 8/(-2) = (2×4)/(2 (-1)) = 2/2×4/(-1) = 4/(-1):

x = 4/(-1)

Multiply numerator and denominator of 4/(-1) by -1:

Answer:  x = -4

3. Do you think the government is partially responsible for America’s debt crisis? Why or why not?
eimsori [14]
Yes, I do. They are making large transactions without knowing if they will invest anything, and yes, while it is sometimes necessary to take risks, they are not thinking enough about the future and how if they make another mistake everything could go downhill. They also live in the lap of luxury, not cutting out a bit of the money which they w=could be using to repay the debts they owe.

Rosetta wants to estimate the percentage of people who rent their home. She surveys 250 individuals and finds that 48 rent their
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

0.192 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.192(1-0.192)}{250}}=0.151

0.192 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.192(1-0.192)}{250}}=0.233

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

X= 48 number of people who rent their home

n= 250 represent the sample size

\hat p =\frac{48}{250}= 0.192 represent the proportion of people who rent their home

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.90=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.645

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

If we replace the values obtained we got:

0.192 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.192(1-0.192)}{250}}=0.151

0.192 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.192(1-0.192)}{250}}=0.233
