Answer:

Part A:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with the equation 5(x + 2) = 6x + 3x - 14, apply the distributive property on the left.

(Remember, * denotes multiplication)

5 * x = 5x

5 * + 2 = 10

5x + 10 = (6x + 3x) - 14

On the right, group the similar terms together.

(6x + 3x) = 9x

5x + 10 = 9x - 14

Take the +10 on the left side across the equation to the right (switch the + to -).

5x = 9x - 14 - 10

Move the +9x from the right to the left (again, change the + to -).

5x - 9x = -14 -10

Now that all like terms are together, simplify them.

5x - 9x = -4x\\-14 - 10 = -24

-4x = -24

To isolate x, divide each side by -4.

x = 6

I hope this helps!:-)

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x+2)=6x+3x-14

This expands to 5x+10=6x+3x-14. using distributive property.

Adding up like terms gives: 10+14=8x-5x.

This simplifies to 24=3x. Here we apply addition and subtraction property.

By dividing both sides by 3, we find: 24/3 = 3x/3. This is the division property in action.

Thus, x equals 8.

Which shows the image of ΔRST after the rotation (x, y) → (y, –x)? On a coordinate plane, a triangle has points R (negative 2, 1
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

On a coordinate grid, a triangle is defined by the points R' (1, 2), S' (3, -1), T' (7, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can interpret the coordinates of the triangle's vertices as...

R(-2, 1), S(1, 3), T(-1, 7)

Applying the transformation (x, y) ⇒ (y, -x), these coordinates change to...

R'(1, 2), S'(3, -1), T'(7, 1) . . . . . (this corresponds to the first option)

Zina [12379]
To calculate total earnings: 40 hours multiplied by $8.95 leads to earnings of $358. After deducting expenses, the total earnings would be $358 - ($35.24 + $24.82 + $21.33) = $276.61.

Andre is setting up rectangle tables for a party. He can fit 6 chairs around a single table. Andre lined up 10 tables end to end
Zina [12379]
When there is one table (t=1), you can place 6 chairs (c=6) around it: 2 along the length of each side and 1 at each end.
With t=2, where the tables are positioned end to end (joined at the width), c=10, that means 4 chairs along each side of the joined tables and 1 chair at each end. Each additional table increases the number of chairs by 4, thus we can express this as c=4t+2, with the constant 2 representing the individual chair at each end. If the tables are spread apart, then c=6t.

Estimate the sum of 196 and 482
Svet_ta [12734]

we understand that

A fast method for estimating the total of two numbers involves rounding each number and adding the rounded results.

case a) We round to the nearest hundred

so

196 Round up equals 200

482 Round up equals 500

Calculate the estimated sum

200+500=700

case b) We round to the nearest ten

so

196 Round up equals 200

482 Round down equals 480

Calculate the estimated sum

200+480=680

Albert Abbasi, VP of Operations at Ingleside International Bank, is evaluating the service level provided to walk-in customers.
babunello [11817]

Answer:

The likelihood that Albert's sample of 64 will have a mean waiting time between 13.5 and 16.5 minutes is 0.9973.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prior concepts

A normal distribution is characterized as a "probability distribution that is symmetric around the mean, indicating that data close to the mean are more frequent than those further away".

The Z-score refers to "a statistical measurement that reflects the relationship of a value to the mean of a group, measured in standard deviations".

Let X denote the random variable of interest, and we identify its distribution:

X \sim N(\mu=15,\sigma=4)

Also, let \bar X signify the sample mean, whose distribution is:

\bar X \sim N(\mu,\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

In this case, \bar X \sim N(15,\frac{4}{\sqrt{64}})

Solution to the problem

We seek this probability

P(13.5

Applying the Z-score formula to the probability results in:

P(13.5

=P(\frac{13.5-15}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{64}}}

To determine these probabilities, we can refer to normal distribution tables, use Excel, or a calculator.

P(-3

The likelihood that Albert's sample of 64 will have a mean waiting time between 13.5 and 16.5 minutes is 0.9973.
