Answer:
One solution x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation:
Multiply this equation by 2:
Use distributive property:
Combine the like terms:
Thus, this equation has one solution x = 2
A product is the answer that you get when you multiply numbers together. So for this problem, you have 2 groups to multiply together. Since I cannot show a square or cubed x, I will put an x2 for x squared and an x3 for x cubed. You have to multiply each number in the first parentheses by each number in the second parentheses. Then combine any like sets.
(8x-3)(x2-4x+8)
8x3-32x2+64x-6x+12x-24
8x3-32x2+70x-24
So the answer is 8x cubed minus 32x squared plus 70x minus 24. Whew! That's a long one. Hope I didn't miss anything.
Given that the<span> iq scores for large populations are centered at 100.
To get what percent of these 78 students have scores above 100 we conduct a normal distribution probability of the data.
P(x > 100) = P(z > (100 - 100)/sd) = P(z > 0) = 1 - P(z < 0) = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 = 50%

Let Ted be x.
Ed is 7 years older = x + 7
Ed = (3/4)Ted
(x + 7) = (3/4)x
x + 7 = 3x/4
x - 3x/4 = -7
x/4 = -7
x = -28, Ted = -28 years.
(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21, Ed = -21 years
Goodness. We had negative numbers for the ages, well does that make sense? No it doesn't.
Our answer is correct. But the sense in the question is lacking. The question has been wrongly set.
<span>We might assume negative ages to mean before they came into the world, before birth! </span>
