Determine whether (a) x = -1 or (b) x = 2 is a solution to this equation

Determine Whether (a) X = -1 Or (b) X = 2 Is A Solution To This Equation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2x-1=3

2x=3+1

2x=4

x=2

Answer 2

[tex]\huge\boxed{\underline{\bf \: Answer}}[/tex]

(a) Let's try with x = - 1

[tex] \sf \: 2x - 1 = 3 \\\sf 2( - 1) - 1 = 3 \\ \sf- 2 - 1 = 3 \\ \\ \boxed{\bf- 3 \: \bcancel= \: 3}[/tex]

So, x = - 1 is not the solution to the given equation.

______________

(b) Now, try with x = 2

[tex]\sf2x - 1 = 3 \\ \sf2(2) - 1 = 3 \\ \sf4 - 1 = 3 \\ \\ \boxed{\bf3 = 3}[/tex]

Yes, we can see that x = 2 is the correct solution for the equation.

A study was done to determine the average number of homes that a homeowner owns in his or her lifetime. For the 50 homeowners surveyed, the sample average was 5.1 and the sample standard deviation was 3.8. Calculate the 95% confidence interval for the true average number of homes that a person owns in his or her lifetime.

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true average number of homes that a person owns in his or her lifetime is (4,6.2).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom,which is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 50 - 1 = 49

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 49 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.0096

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.0096\frac{3.8}{\sqrt{50}} = 1.1[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 5.1 - 1.1 = 4

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 5.1 + 1.1 = 6.2.

The 95% confidence interval for the true average number of homes that a person owns in his or her lifetime is (4,6.2).

David is shopping for new tires for his 4-wheel-drive truck. In addition to the price of the tires, there is a 10% sales tax plus a state-mandated $60 fee for disposing of his old tires. If David has determined that he will spend less than $578.10 total, then what is the price range he can spend on the tire set?
Select one:

a.
Less than $471

b.
At least 475

c.
$471 or more

d.
Less than 476

Answers

Answer:

a. Less than $471

Step-by-step explanation:

The total price must be less than $578.10.

Let the price of the 4 tires = x.

He pays 10% tax on x. That means he pays x + 10%x = 1.1x including tax.

Then he pays the $60 fee.

He pays a total of 1.1x + 60

That must be less than $578.10

1.1x + 60 < 578.10

Subtract 60 rom both sides.

1.1x < 518.1

Divide both sides by 1.1

x < 471

Answer: a. Less than $471

The top three prices for works of art sold at auction in 2013 totaled $306.7 million. These three works of art were a sculpture, a painting, and a photograph. The
selling price of the painting was $50.5 million more than that of the photograph. Together, the painting and the photograph sold for $17.1 million more than the
sculpture. What was the selling price of each work?

Answers

Answer:

photograph = 55.7mil

painting = 106.2

sculpture = 144.8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the price of the photograph be x

price of painting = x+50.5

price of sculpture = x+x+50.5-17.1 =2x+33.4

2x+33.4+x+50.5+x=306.7

4x=222.8

x=55.7

price of painting = 55.7+50.5 = 106.2

price of sculpture = 2(55.7)+33.4=144.8

Price of painting =55.7+50.5=106.2
Price of sculpture =2(55.7)+33.4=144.8

Two ice cream stands are deciding where to set up along a 1-mile-long beach.

Answers

Answer:

Each ice cream seller wants the maximum number of customers:

True

The two ice cream stands will most likely be 1/3 mile away from each other.

True

Step-by-step explanation:

This distance enables the two ice cream stands to give access to the maximum number of customers at the beach, which will be almost equal at their right-hand and left-hand sides.  Therefore, the two ice cream stands will most likely be 1/3 mile away from each other.  Such positioning exposes the ice cream stands to almost equal number of customers since the people standing along the beach are uniformly located.  Taking the extreme locations along the 1-mile-long beach will shrink location opportunities for both stands.

B. $3,398.25
C. $3,406.45
D. $2,954.50

Answers

Answer:

A) [tex]\$\ 2932.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

One is given that a certain amount of money was allotted to be spent on supplies. However, there was a discount applied to the purchase. One is asked to find the amount of money actually spent on the supplies.

$3450 was the initial price that was to be spent on supplies, however, a (15%) discount was applied to this price. Subtract (15) from (100) to find the percent value that was actually spent on supplies.

[tex]100-15=85[/tex]

(85%) of the allotted money was actually spent on supplies. Now one has to find out the numerical value of the amount spent. Divide (85) by (100) and then multiply it by the amount of money allotted to the purchase, to fin the amount actually spent on the purchase.

[tex]3450*(\frac{85}{100})\\\\=3450*0.85\\\\=2932.5[/tex]
