*Given
3(x+y)=y
y is not equal to zero

*Solution 

1. The given equation is 3(x+y) = y and we are tasked to find the ratio between x and y. Distributing 3 to the terms in the parenthesis, 

                        3(x+y) = y
                      3x + 3y = y

Transposing 3y to the right side OR subtracting 3y from both the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the equation would give

                              3x = -2y

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, 

                                x = (-2/3)y

Dividing both sides of the equation by y, 

                              x/y = -2/3

Therefore, the ratio x/y has a value of -2/3 provided that y is not equal to zero.

A statistics professor drew a random sample of 81 observations and found that x with bar on top equals 62 s equals 15. Estimate
ratelena [41]

Answer:

LCL = 59.26 to two decimal places

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to estimate the LCL of the population mean with 90% confidence

We proceed as follows;

Given alpha = 0.1, then Z(0.05)=1.645 (from standard normal table), s = 15

Mathematically;

LCL =x_bar -Z*s/√( n)= 62 - (1.645 * 15)/√81

LCL = 62- (24.675)/9 = 59.2583

LCL = 59.26 to two decimal places

A teacher handed out m notebooks which came in packs with c notebooks in each pack. How many packs were there?
Roman55 [17]
Let’s throw some numbers in here just so it becomes clear what we are asked for.

Let’s say the teacher hands out 12 notebooks that came in packs with 4 notebooks in each pack. If you are asked for the number of packs here you would see that it’s 3. That is 3 packs of 4 give 12.

So you divide the number of notebooks handed out (m) by the number of notebooks per pack (c) to get the number of packs.

The number of packs is m/c

Shana, who lives in Canada, and Pearl, who lives in Pennsylvania, were discussing the weather. Shana complained about the cold t
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

<h3>Negative (negative 20) = 20</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Shana temperature = -20°C

°If Pearls temperature is opposite that of Shana's then Pearls temparature = -(-20) = 20°C

Hence the correct way to represent "the opposite of Shana's temperature is equal to Pearl's

Opposite of shana = -(-20°C)

Pearls temperature = +20°C

Since Opposite of shana = Pearls temperature, hence  -(-20°C) = 20°C
