Here are the following justifications:

Given: -2 (x-1) +12=4x-6


Distribute property = -2x+2+12=4x-6


Combine like terms= -2x+14=4x-6

 

Transpose = -2x = 4x – 20

 

Addition or Subtraction Property of Equality = -6x = -20

 

Division property of equality = x = 20/6

 

Simplify = x = 10/3

Determine the solution set of x^2-80=0.
Stella [2.4K]
X^2 - 80 = 0
x^2 = 80 ...take the square root of both sides, eliminating the ^2
x = (+-) sqrt 80
x = (+-) sqrt 16 * 5
x = (+-) 4 sqrt 5

so x = 4 sqrt 5 or x = -4 sqrt 5

Including Jose, there are eight people in his family.
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

840

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the order matters, we use the permutations formula to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}

In this question:

The first seat is Jose's.

The remaining four are organized among the other 7 members. So

P_{(7,4)} = \frac{7!}{(7-4)!} = 840

So the correct answer is:

840

A group of friends are going ice skating. The price of admission is $3.25. As a group, they spent $14 on refreshments. If they s
Helen [10]
Start with $30.25. 
Subtract $14.00 to isolate the amount of money spent on admission. 
30.25-14.00= 16.25. As a group $16.25 was spent on admission.
Admission is 3.25 per person. Divide 16.25 by 3.25. 
16.25/3.25=5.

The true average diameter of ball bearings of a certain type is supposed to be 0.5 in. A one-sample t test will be carried out t
Naily [24]

Answer:

Option C - Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence that the true diameter differs from 0.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

n = 15

t-value = 1.66

Significance level;α = 0.05

So, DF = n - 1 = 15 - 1 = 14

From the one-sample t - table attached, we can see that the p - value of 0.06 at a t-value of 1.66 and a DF of 14

Now, since the P-value is 0.06,it is greater than the significance level of 0.05. Thus we do not reject the null hypothesis. We conclude that there is not sufficient evidence that the true diameter differs from 0.5 in.
