Trina examined the equation below and said that the equation has exactly one solution. Negative 8 (x minus 4) + 2 x = negative 4

(x minus 8) minus 2 x Which explains whether Trina is correct? A. Trina is correct because the two sides of the equation are equivalent. B. Trina is correct because the two sides of the equation are not equivalent. C. Trina is not correct because the two sides of the equation are equivalent. D. Trina is not correct because the two sides of the equation are not equivalent.

Answer

The answer is C. Trina is not correct because the two sides of the equation are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  solve for x

-8(x - 4) + 2x = -4(x - 8) -2x

-8x + 32 + 2x = -4x + 32 -2x

-6x + 32 = - 6x + 32

0 = 0

This equation has infinite solutions, any rational number fits as solution for x in this equation. And as we can see both sides of it are equivalent.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. Trina is not correct because the two sides of the equation are equivalent.

scoray [572]

Answer:

Mean = 6.07

Median = 7

Mode = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Data: 5\ 3\ 7\ 8\ 0\ 1\ 0\ 5\ 12\ 10\ 7\ 6\ 7\ 11\ 9

n = 15

Solving (a): The mean

Mean is calculated as:

Mean = \frac{\sum x}{n}

This gives:

Mean = \frac{5+ 3+ 7+ 8+ 0+ 1+ 0+ 5+ 12+ 10+ 7+ 6+ 7+ 11+ 9}{15}

Mean = \frac{91}{15}

Mean = 6.07

Solving (b): The median

Sort the data in ascending order:

Data: 5\ 3\ 7\ 8\ 0\ 1\ 0\ 5\ 12\ 10\ 7\ 6\ 7\ 11\ 9

Sorted: 0\ 0\ 1\ 3\ 5\ 5\  6\ 7\ 7\ 7\ 8\ 9\ 10\ 11\ 12

The median is:

Median = \frac{n + 1}{2}th

Median = \frac{15 + 1}{2}th

Median = \frac{16}{2}th

Median = 8th    

The 8th item on the sorted dataset is 7; So:

Median = 7

Solving (c): The mode

Mode = 7

Because it has a frequency of 3 (more than any other element of the dataset).

"Mia jogs 3 kilometers in 20 minutes. There are about 0.6 miles in a kilometer. What is Mia’s approximate speed in miles per min
Lapatulllka [165]
First we need to find Mia's speed (v) in km/min

v = distance travelled/ time 
v = 3 km/20 minutes
v = 0.15 km /min

in order to convert the speed into mile/min, we need to use the conversion factor given in which for every kilometer, there is 0.6 miles. 

v = 0.15 km/min *(0.6 miles/ km) 
v =0.09 miles/min

therefore the speed in miles/min is 0.09 miles/min

State the reason why MN = LK .<br><br> Given:<br> KLMN is a parallelogram.
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

MN = LK because of the definition of a 'parallelogram'.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a parallelogram KLMN.

We know that a 'parallelogram' is a quadrilateral which have two opposite sides parallel and equal in length.

Therefore, from parallelogram KLMN, we get,

MN║LK and ML║NK

MN = LK and ML = LK.

Hence, we that MN = LK because of the definition of a 'parallelogram'.
