Answer:

Julio's number is 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume Julio's number is x

If we subtract 14 from x, we'd have

x - 14

We multiply the difference by -7, we'll have

-7(x - 14) = -7x + 98

Note that multiply 2 negative signs gives a positive sign, that is,

- x - = +

-7 x -14 = 98

When we multiply the difference by -7, the result is -119

-7x + 98 = -119

To collect like terms, we subtract 98 from both sides of the equation

-7x + 98 - 98 = -119 - 98

-7x = -217

We then divide both sides by -7, that is the coefficient of x

-7x/-7 = -217/-7

x = 31.

Therefore, Julio's number is 31

According to a report from a business intelligence company, smartphone owners are using an average of 20 apps per month Assume t

Eddi Din [679]

Answer: 0.547

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have

Population mean = $\mu=20$

Population standard deviation= $\sigma=4$

Sample size : n= 36

We assume that number of apps used per month by smartphone owners is normally distributed.

Let $\overline{x}$ be the sample mean.

Formula : $z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

The probability that the sample mean is between 19.5 and 20.5 :-

$P(19.5$

[using standard normal distribution table for z]

Hence, the required probability = 0.547

Find 10-3. Write the subtraction fact two ways.

love history [14]

This is a problem of fact families, but what is fact families? Well it is a family of four things. Two of them are additions and two of them are subtractions. So this question asks about fact families by writing the subtraction fact two ways. So we have:

 $10-3$

First way. So let's take the number 10 and explain this problem using triangles. Let's say that we have 10 triangles in the beginning:

Δ Δ Δ Δ Δ
Δ Δ Δ Δ Δ

So I want to take away 3 triangles, then by taking away 3 what is left? Well the answer is 7:

Δ Δ Δ Δ Δ
Δ Δ

That is, if we subtract 3 from 10 then the result is:

$10-3=7$

Second way. In this subtraction we take the same 10 triangles:

Δ Δ Δ Δ Δ
Δ Δ Δ Δ Δ

Now I want to take away 7 triangles, then by taking away 7 what is left is 3:

Δ Δ Δ

That is, if we subtract 7 from 10 then the result is:

$10-7=3$

Find the coefficient of x2 in (3x2 – 5) (4 + 4x2), expand using algebraic expressions and answer

Scilla [17]

Answer:

- 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(3x² - 5)(4 + 4x²)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

3x²(4 + 4x²) - 5 (4 + 4x²) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 12x² + 12 $x^{4}$ - 20 - 20x² ← collect like terms

= 12 $x^{4}$ - 8x² - 20

The coefficient of the x² term is - 8
