-5 - (-7 - 4x) = -2(3x - 4) |use distributive property

-5 -(-7) - (-4x) = (-2)(3x) + (-2)(-4)

-5 + 7 + 4x = -6x + 8

2 + 4x = -6x + 8 |-2

4x = -6x + 6 |+6x

10x = 6 |:10

x = 0.6

How do you explain to estimate 368+231 in two different ways

Ludmilka [50]

You can use the break apart strategy which would look like:
368+231= 300+60+8 + 200+30+1
Or you could just plain and simple add 368+231

The weight, y, in pounds, of kittens was tracked for the first 8 weeks after birth where t represents the number of weeks after

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The mentioned relationship for the weight, in pounds, of the kitten with respect to time, in weeks, is

$\hat y =1.7 +1.48t$

Weight of the kitten after 10 weeks

$\hat y =1.7 +1.48\times 10$

$\hat y =16.5$ pounds

This modeled equation is based on the observation of the early age of a kitten where the kitten is in its growth period, but in the early stage the growth rate in the weight of the kitten was the same but the growth of any living beings continues till the adult stage. So, after some time, in real life situation, this weekly change in weight will become zero, So, this model is not suitable to measure the weight of the kitten over the larger time period.

Here, t= 10 weeks is nearby the observed time period, so the linearly modeled equation can be used to predict the weight.

Hence, the weight of the kitten after 10 weeks is 16.5 pounds.

In one region, the september energy consumption levels for single-family homes are found to be normally distributed with a mean

Mrac [35]

We first calculate the z-score corresponding to x = 1075 kWh. Given the mean of 1050 kWh, SD of 218 kWh, and sample size of n = 50, the formula for z is:
z = (x - mean) / (SD/sqrt(n)) = (1075 - 1050) / (218/sqrt(50)) = 0.81
From a z-table, the probability that z > 0.81 is 0.2090. Therefore, the probability that the mean of the 50 households is > 1075 kWh is 0.2090.
