2.40/12 = x/16
then that would mean 12x= 2.40(16)
which equals 12x= 38.4, then divide 12 by both sides, getting you 3.2 so the answer is it would cost her $3.20 cents to by 16 lemons

Mkey [24]

Answer: The lower bound of confidence interval would be 0.116.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

p = 13.2%= 0.132

n = 1105

At 90%  confidence,

z = 1.645

So, Margin of error would be

z\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}\\\\=1.645\times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.132\times 0.868}{1152}}}\\\\=0.0164

So, the lower bound of the confidence interval would be

p-\text{margin of error}\\\\=0.132-0.0164\\\\=0.116

Hence, the lower bound of confidence interval would be 0.116.

What is the value of $x$ if $-\frac23(x-5) = \frac32(x+1)$?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

x = (-29)/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(2 (x - 5))/3 = (3 (x + 1))/2

Multiply both sides by 6:

(6×2 (x - 5))/3 = (6×3 (x + 1))/2

6/3 = (3×2)/3 = 2:

2×2 (x - 5) = (6×3 (x + 1))/2

6/2 = (2×3)/2 = 3:

2×2 (x - 5) = 3×3 (x + 1)

2×2 = 4:

4 (x - 5) = 3×3 (x + 1)

3×3 = 9:

4 (x - 5) = 9 (x + 1)

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

4 x - 20 = 9 (x + 1)

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

4 x - 20 = 9 x + 9

Subtract 9 x from both sides:

(4 x - 9 x) - 20 = (9 x - 9 x) + 9

4 x - 9 x = -5 x:

-5 x - 20 = (9 x - 9 x) + 9

9 x - 9 x = 0:

-5 x - 20 = 9

Add 20 to both sides:

(20 - 20) - 5 x = 20 + 9

20 - 20 = 0:

-5 x = 9 + 20

9 + 20 = 29:

-5 x = 29

Divide both sides of -5 x = 29 by -5:

(-5 x)/(-5) = 29/(-5)

(-5)/(-5) = 1:

x = 29/(-5)

Multiply numerator and denominator of 29/(-5) by -1:

Answer: x = (-29)/5

The endpoints of JK are J(–25, 10) and K(5, –20). What is the y-coordinate of point L, which divides JK into a 7:3 ratio? a. –16
Andrews [41]

let's say the point dividing JK is say point P, so the JK segment gets split into two pieces, JP and PK

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{internal division of a line segment} \\\\\\ J(-25,10)\qquad K(5,-20)\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from J to K}}{7:3} \\\\\\ \cfrac{J~~\begin{matrix} P \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}{~~\begin{matrix} P \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~K} = \cfrac{7}{3}\implies \cfrac{J}{K} = \cfrac{7}{3}\implies3J=7K\implies 3(-25,10)=7(5,-20)\\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf P=\left(\frac{\textit{sum of "x" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\quad ,\quad \frac{\textit{sum of "y" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\right)\\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ P=\left(\cfrac{(3\cdot -25)+(7\cdot 5)}{7+3}\quad ,\quad \stackrel{\textit{y-coordinate}}{\cfrac{(3\cdot 10)+(7\cdot -20)}{7+3}}\right) \\\\\\ P=\left( \qquad ,\quad \cfrac{30-140}{10} \right)\implies P=\left(\qquad ,~~\cfrac{-110}{10} \right)\implies P=(\qquad ,\quad -11)
