Answer:

x = -12/14 is the required solution for the given expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is:

5 – 6 x = 8 x + 17

Now, here solving the expression for the value of x, we get:

5 – 6 x = 8 x + 17

⇒ 5 - 17 = 8 x + 6 x

⇒- 12 = 14 x

or, x = -12 / 14

Hence, x = -12/14 is the required solution for the given expression.

Answer: -6/7

Step-by-step explanation:

5 - 6x = 8x + 17

-5 -5 <= subtract 5 from both sides

-6 x = 8x + 12

-8x -8x <= subtract -8x from both sides to isolate the variable

-14x = 12

-14 -14 <= divide by -14 to factor out and isolate x

-12/14 can be simplified to -6/7

The following table shows the number of hours some teachers in two schools expect students to spend on homework each week: Schoo

Lerok [7]

Answer:

For school A: Minimum=6, Q₁=6.5, Median= 14, Q₃=16, Maximum=17, IQR=9.5

For school B: Minimum=5, Q₁=8, Median= 12, Q₃=15.5, Maximum=19, IQR=7.5

No, the box plots are not symmetric.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The given data sets are

School A : 9,14,15,17,17,7,15,6,6

School B : 12,8,13,11,19,15,16,5,8

Arrange the data in ascending order.

School A : 6,6,7,9,14,15,15,17,17

School B : 5,8,8,11,12,13,15,16,19

Divide each data set in four equal parts.

School A : (6,6),(7,9),14,(15,15),(17,17)

School B : (5,8),(8,11),12,(13,15),(16,19)

For school A:

Minimum=6, Q₁=6.5, Median= 14, Q₃=16, Maximum=17

Interquartile range of the data is

$IQR=Q_3-Q_1=16-6.5=9.5$

For school B:

Minimum=5, Q₁=8, Median= 12, Q₃=15.5, Maximum=19

Interquartile range of the data is

$IQR=Q_3-Q_1=15.5-8=7.5$

Part B:

The box plots are not symmetric because the data values are different. Five number summary and IQR of both the data set are different.

Emma was about to finish grocery shopping when she noticed that cans of soup were on sale. Her total bill for groceries would be

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

3rd option: B(C)= 1.79C +86.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bill

= cost of cans(number of cans) +cost of other groceries

Let the cost of other groceries be G, and the cost of cans be X.

Given that number of cans= C,

Total bill= XC +G

If 2 cans were purchased,

2X+G= 89.61 -----(1)

If 5 cans were purchased,

5X +G= 94.98 -----(2)

(2) -(1):

(5X +G) -(2X +G)= 94.98 -89.61

5X +G -2x -G= 5.37

3X= 5.37

X= 5.37 ÷3 (÷3 on both sides)

X= 1.79

Subst. X= 1.79 into (1):

2(1.79) +G= 89.61

3.58 +G= 89.61

G= 89.61 -3.58 (-3.58 on both sides)

G= 86.03 (simplify)

Total bill

= XC +G

= 1.79C +86.03

Thus, the function is B(C)= 1.79C +86.03.
