$5(2x + 4) = 15\\10x+20=15\\10x=-5\\x=-\dfrac{5}{10}=-0,5$

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x=-0.5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5(2x+4)=15\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\\dfrac{5\!\!\!\!\diagup(2x+4)}{5\!\!\!\!\diagup}=\dfrac{15\!\!\!\!\!\diagup}{5\!\!\!\!\diagup}\\\\2x+4=3\qquad\text{subtract 4 from both sides}\\\\2x+4-4=3-4\\\\2x=-1\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{-1}{2}\\\\\boxed{x=-0.5}$

A particular brand of tires claims that its deluxe tire averages at least 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced. From past

Volgvan

Answer: We reject the null hypothesis, and we use Normal distribution for the test.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

We claim that

Null hypothesis : $H_0:\mu\geq 50000$

Alternate hypothesis : $H_1:\mu$

There is 5% level of significance.

$\bar{X}=46800\\\\\sigma=9800\\\\n=29$

So, the test statistic would be

$z=\dfrac{\bar{X}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}\\\\z=\dfrac{46800-50000}{\dfrac{9800}{\sqrt{29}}}\\\\z=-1.75$

Since alternate hypothesis is left tailed test.

So, p-value = P(z≤-2.31)=0.0401

And the P-value =0.0401 is less than the given level of significance i.e. 5% 0.05.

So, we reject the null hypothesis, and we use Normal distribution for the test.

If quadrilateral PQRS is a rectangle, then which of the following is true?

brilliants [131]

∠STP ≅ ∠QTR is the True statement ⇒ answer C

Step-by-step explanation:

In any rectangle

1. Each two opposite sides are equal and parallel

2. The measure of its vertex angles is 90°

3. The two diagonals are equal

Now lets find the true statements

∵ PQRS is a rectangle

∴ PS = QR ⇒ opposite sides

∴ PQ = SR ⇒ opposite sides

∴ PR = QS ⇒ diagonals

A. ∠PSQ ≅ ∠QSR

∵ The diagonals of the rectangle do not bisect the vertex angles

∴ AQ does not bisect angle S

∴ m∠PSQ ≠ m∠QSR

∴ ∠PSQ not congruent ∠QSR

∠PSQ ≅ ∠QSR ⇒ False

B. segment SR ≅ segment RQ

∵ SR and RQ are two adjacent sides

∵ The adjacent side in the rectangle not equal

∴ SR ≠ QR

∴ segment SR not congruent to segment RQ

segment SR ≅ segment RQ ⇒ False

C. ∠STP ≅ ∠QTR

∵ PR intersects QS at point T

∴ m∠STP = m∠QTR ⇒ vertically opposite angles

∴ ∠STP ≅ ∠QTR

∠STP ≅ ∠QTR ⇒ True

D. segment PS ≅ segment PR

∵ PS is a side in the rectangle

∵ PR is a diagonal in the rectangle

∵ The side of the rectangle not equal the diagonal of the rectangle

∴ PS ≠ PR

∴ segment PS not congruent to segment PR

segment PS ≅ segment PR ⇒ False

∠STP ≅ ∠QTR is the True statement

Rumor of the cancellation of final exams began to spread one day on a college campus with a population of 80 thousand students.S

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

P(t) is directly proportional to N and N'.

Where P is the increase in numbers of students who have heard the exam's cancellation rumor at any time t;

N is numbers of students who have heard the rumor of the exam's cancellation;

N' is numbers of students who have not heard the rumor of the exam's cancellation;

N' = (80 - N). Since the total number of students is 80;

K is the constant of the proportionality.

K is calculated to be 9/700

Therefore,

P(t) = KNN'

P(t) = (9/700) x N x (80 - N)

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students is 80. For N, N' = 80 - N.

Initially, 1 thousand people heard the rumor.

Within/after a day, the increased in number of students who have heard the rumor is P = 10 - 1 = 9

P = 9 = K x 10x (80-10)

9 = K x 10 x 70 = 700K.

Divide both sides by 700,

9/700 = (700/700)K

K = 9/700

Subtitle K into the equation P(t) = KNN'

P(t) = (9/700) x N x N'

P(t) = (9/700) x N x (80 - N), where N' = 80 - N

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between the graph of f(x)g(x) and g(x)=f(x−7)?

Lelu [443]

G(x) would have to be -->7 units.
The relationship between f(x) and s(x) where s(x)=af(x-b)+z is that g(x) is f(x) stretched by the reciprocal of a, b is the liar (all x values go up if b goes down and visa versa), and it moves up z units.
