Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is as following:

$x+\frac{1}{2} (6x-4) =6$

Step Work Justification

1 2x + 6x − 4 = 12

2 8x − 4 = 12

3 8x = 16

4 x = 2

Which of the following has all of the correct justifications Wyatt used to solve this equation?

A. Distributive property. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Addition property of equality. 4. Division property of equality.

B. Multiplication property of equality. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Addition property of equality. 4. Division property of equality.

C. Distributive property. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Subtraction property of equality. 4. Division property of equality.

D. Multiplication property of equality. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Subtraction property of equality. 4. Division property of equality

The answer:

Step Work Justification

multiply both sides by 2

1) 2x + 6x − 4 = 12 ⇒ {Multiplication property of equality}

{Combine like terms}

2) 8x − 4 = 12 ⇒

Adding 4 both sides

3) 8x = 16 ⇒ {Addition property of equality}

divide both sides by 8

4) x = 2 ⇒ {Division property of equality}

The answer is option B

(B) Multiplication property of equality. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Addition property of equality. 4. Division property of equality.

A woman's weekly salary is increased from $350 to $380. The percent of increase is most nearly

Kay [80]

Find the amount of the difference and then divide it by the original amount:

380 - 350 = 30

30 / 350 = 0.0857 = 8.6% increase. Round the answer as needed.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

95% confidence interval for p, the true proportion of all women who will find success with this new treatment is [0.238 , 0.762].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a pharmaceutical company proposes a new drug treatment for alleviating symptoms of PMS (premenstrual syndrome).

In the first stages of a clinical trial, it was successful for 7 out of the 14 women.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the true proportion is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of women who find success with this new treatment = $\frac{7}{14}$ = 0.50

n = sample of women = 14

Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion statistics.

So, 95% confidence interval for the true proportion, p is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95 {As the critical value of z at 2.5%

level of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}

P(-1.96 < $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < 1.96) = 0.95

P( $-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < ${\hat p-p}$ < $1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

P( $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < p < $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for p = [ $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ , $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ]

= [ $0.50-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.50(1-0.50)}{14} } }$ , $0.50+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.50(1-0.50)}{14} } }$ ]

= [0.238 , 0.762]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for p, the true proportion of all women who will find success with this new treatment is [0.238 , 0.762].

A uniform bar of length l and weight w is attached to a wall with a hinge that exerts a horizontal force hx and a vertical force

maria [59]

The answer is Hx = ½ Wsin θ cos θ
The explanation for this is:
Analyzing the torques on the bar, with the hinge at the axis of rotation, the formula would be: ∑T = LT – (L/2 sin θ) W = 0
So, T = 1/2 W sin θ. Analyzing the force on the bar, we have: ∑fx = Hx – T cos θ = 0Then put T into the equation, we get:∑T = LT – (L/2 sin θ) W = 0
