Is the answer to the problem below correct? If yes, why? If not, what mistake(s) were made in solving the
problem an what is the correct answer?
Step 1: 12 = -2(x - 4) - 8
Step 2: 12 = -2x - 8 - 8
Step 3: 12 = -2x - 16
Step 4: 28 = -2x
Step 5: 26 = x
9514 1404 393
Answer:
x = -6 (correct answer)
mistakes were made in Step 2 and Step 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
The mistake is made in Step 2, application of the distributive property. This is often a source of error. Here, the error is in signs.
Step 1: 12 = -2(x -4) -8
Step 2: 12 = -2x +8 -8 . . . . . . the correct step 2
Step 3: 12 = -2x . . . . . . . . . . . like terms combined
Step 4: -6 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -2
__
Check
12 = -2(-6 -4) -8 = -2(-10) -8 = 20 -8 = 12 . . . . answer checks OK
__
Comment on other mistake
In the original Step 5, -2 was divided on the right and added on the left. This is a violation of the properties of equality, so guarantees a wrong answer. The same operation must be performed on both sides of the equation.
An additional mistake was made in that the answer was not checked.
The side links of a triangle are 3 m, 4 m common 5 m. Suppose the side links are multiplied by four. Describe the change in perimeter
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Side links are : 3m, 4m, 5m
The perimeter of a triangle = (a + b + c)
Perimeter 1= (3 + 4 + 5) = 12m
If the side links are multiplied by 4 :
3*4 = 12 m
4*4 = 16m
5*4 = 20m
Perimeter2 = (12 + 16 + 20) = 48 m
Comparing the perimeters:
Perimeter 1 = perimeter 2
12 = 48
Hence, perimeter also increases by 4 folds

Suppose that 29\%29%29, percent of undergraduates at a large university are involved in a campus organization. The administration plans to take an SRS of 100100100 undergraduates from the population of over 20{,}00020,00020, comma, 000 undergraduate students at the school to see what proportion of students sampled are involved in a campus organization.
Answer:
μ p ^ =0.29
σ p ^ = Square root[ ( (0.29)(0.71) )/100 ]
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean of the sampling distribution of a sample proportion is equal to the population proportion.
μ p ^ =p
The population proportion reported is 29%, so p=0.29p.
\mu_{\hat p}=p=0.29μ
μ p ^ = 0.29
Since σ p hat = sqare root [ ( p(1-p) )/ n]
After subsitution we get σ p ^ = Square root[ ( (0.29)(0.71) )/100 ]
If side x has a length of 15 cm and side y has a length of 4 cm, then which value below could be the length of side z?
A.
20 cm
B.
21 cm
C.
17 cm
D.
10 cm
Given:
In a triangle, side x has a length of 15 cm and side y has a length of 4 cm.
To find:
The possible value of side z.
Solution:
In a triangle, the sum of two smaller sides must be greater than the largest side otherwise the triangle is not possible.
Case I: Let x be the largest side, then
[tex]y+z>x[/tex]
[tex]4+z>15[/tex]
[tex]z>15-4[/tex]
[tex]z>11[/tex] ...(i)
It is clear that [tex]y<x[/tex]. So, y cannot be a largest side.
Case II: Let z be the largest side, then
[tex]x+y>z[/tex]
[tex]15+4>z[/tex]
[tex]19>z[/tex] ...(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
[tex]11<z<19[/tex]
It means the value of z lies between 11 and 19.
From the given options, only 17 is the value which lies between 11 and 19. So, the possible length of side z is 17 cm.
Therefore, the correct option is C.
A spinner with 9 equal sections is numbered 1 through 9. The probability of spinning a 3 is 1/9. What is the probability of not spinning a 3? Enter your answer as a fraction, in simplest form, in the box.
Answer:
The probability of not spinning a 3 is [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of spinning a 3 is 1/9. What is the probability of not spinning a 3?
Spinning a 3 and not spinning a 3 are complementary events, which means that the sum of their probabilities is decimal 1. So
[tex]\frac{1}{9} + p = 1[/tex]
[tex]p = 1 - \frac{1}{9} = \frac{9}{9} - \frac{1}{9} = \frac{8}{9}[/tex]
The probability of not spinning a 3 is [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex]
Write the center and radius for the following circles
Given:
The equations of circle are
4. [tex]\left(x+\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^2+(y+1)^2=24[/tex]
5. [tex](x-1)^2+(y+2)^2=28[/tex]
6 .[tex](x+12)^2+y^2=\dfrac{3}{64}[/tex]
To find:
The center and radius for the given circles.
Solution:
The standard form of a circle is:
[tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex]
Where, [tex](h,k)[/tex] is center and [tex]r[/tex] is the radius of the circle.
4.
The equation of the circle is
[tex]\left(x+\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^2+(y+1)^2=24[/tex]
The standard form of this circle is
[tex]\left(x-(-\dfrac{2}{3})\right)^2+(y-(-1))^2=(\sqrt{24})^2[/tex]
[tex]\left(x-(-\dfrac{2}{3})\right)^2+(y-(-1))^2=(2\sqrt{6})^2[/tex]
Therefore, the center of the circle is [tex]\left(-\dfrac{2}{3},-1\right)[/tex] and the radius of the circle is [tex]2\sqrt{6}[/tex].
5.
The equation of the circle is
[tex](x-1)^2+(y+2)^2=28[/tex]
The standard form of this circle is
[tex](x-1)^2+(y-(-2))^2=(\sqrt{28})^2[/tex]
[tex](x-1)^2+(y-(-2))^2=(2\sqrt{7})^2[/tex]
Therefore, the center of the circle is [tex]\left(1,-2\right)[/tex] and the radius of the circle is [tex]2\sqrt{7}[/tex].
6.
The equation of the circle is
[tex](x+12)^2+y^2=\dfrac{3}{64}[/tex]
The standard form of this circle is
[tex](x-(-12))^2+(y-0)^2=(\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{64}})^2[/tex]
[tex](x-(-12))^2+(y-0)^2=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{8}[/tex]
Therefore, the center of the circle is [tex]\left(-12,0\right)[/tex] and the radius of the circle is [tex]\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{8}[/tex].

Which product of prime polynomials is equivalent to 3x4 – 81x?
3x(x – 3)(x2 – 3x – 9)
3x(x – 3)(x2 + 3x + 9)
3x(x – 3)(x – 3)(x + 3)
3x(x – 3)(x + 3)(x + 3)
Given:
The expression is
[tex]3x^4-81x[/tex]
To find:
The product of prime polynomials which is equivalent to the given expression.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]3x^4-81x[/tex]
Taking out the common factors, we get
[tex]=3x(x^3-27)[/tex]
It can be written as
[tex]=3x(x^3-3^3)[/tex]
[tex]=3x(x-3)(x^2+3x+3^2)[/tex] [tex][\because a^3-b^3=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)][/tex]
[tex]=3x(x-3)(x^2+3x+3^2)[/tex]
[tex]=3x(x-3)(x^2+3x+9)[/tex]
Therefore, the correct option is B.
Answer:
It's B

5 Mario has $660 in his savings account earning 2.5% interest yearly. How much interest will he earn in 2 years?
Im terrible at word problems smh
Answer:
$33
Step-by-step explanation:
You do $660 • 0.025
You have to bring the decimal two places to the left for finding the decimal point.
So you'd get 16.5.
But there's two years. So times it by two.
So it's 33.

what is x -2(4x-3)=-12-14x
Answer:
x= -17/8
Step-by-step explanation:
1 step: take care of the parentheses ( multiply -2 to what is on parentheses)
so x -8x +6 =-12-14x
2 step : move all number with x to the left side
x-8x +14x = -12 -6
7x = -18
x = -18/7

In a shipment of new cookies for a store, 4/12 of the cookies were sugar and 1/5 were oatmeal. The remainder of the cookies were chocolate chip. What fraction of the cookies were chocolate chip?
Answer:
13/15
Step-by-step explanation:
The fraction of the cookies that are chocolate chip can be determined by solving this equation
1 - ([tex]\frac{4}{12}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex])
1 - [tex]\frac{20 - 12}{60}[/tex]
1 - [tex]\frac{8}{60}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{60}{60}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{8}{60}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{52}{60}[/tex] = 13/15
hey! can u help me with this?! 6 divided by 3/5 in fraction form!?!?!!?
Answer:
10/1
Step-by-step explanation:
You do
6÷ 3/5
Flip the 3/5 then multiply
6 ° 5/3
Reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor 3
So 2•5
And that's 10
Ans is 10.
The numbers in 6 divided by 3/5 are labeled below:
6 = whole number
3 = numerator
5 = denominator
To make it a fraction form answer, you multiply the whole number by the denominator and make the result the new numerator. The old numerator becomes the new denominator:
6 x 5/3 = 30/3
Thus, the answer to 6 divided by 3/5 in fraction form is:
30/3
To make the answer to 6 divided by 3/5 in decimal form, you simply divide the numerator by the denominator from the fraction answer above:
30 / 3 = 10
The answer is rounded to the nearest two decimal points if necessary.
30/3 can be simplified to 10/1.
10/1 is an improper fraction and should be written as 10.

Here are the marks of a student in four exams.
65 80 76 69
The student takes a fifth exam.
His mean mark for the five exams is 70
Work out his mark in the fifth exam.
Answer:
61 marksStep-by-step explanation:
Given,
Marks of the four exams = 65, 80, 76, 68
Let the mark for the fifth exam be = x
Mean of the five exams = 70
Therefore,
By the problem,
[tex] = > \frac{65 + 80 + 76 + 68 + x}{5} = 70[/tex]
[tex] = > \frac{289 + x}{5} = 70[/tex]
=> 289 + x = 70 × 5
=> 289 + x = 350
=> x = 350 - 289
=> x = 61
Hence,
Marks of the fifth exam is 61 (Ans)
