Two less than three times a number is equal to 19. What is the number?

Answers

Answer 1

The best way to approach a word problem like this

is to break it down into pieces, so we can understand it fully.

In this problem, we have a number, which we don't know.

We can use any variable to represent it.

So let's use the variable n to represent it.

"Two less than three times a number" means 3n - 2.

A common mistake is for students to put 2 - 3n.

However, the word "less than" switches the order around.

So we have 3n - 2 = 19.

Solving from here, we add 2 to both sides to get 3n = 21.

Now divide both sides of the equation by 3 and we have n = 7.

So the number is 7.

requires that the percentage of the plastic shelves that are defective be no more than 10%. If more than 10% are defective, the Prime Factor Company will reject the lot.

Complete Question

The National Appliance Company makes refrigerators. One of its suppliers, the Exeter company, produces plastic shelves for the refrigerators and ships them in large lots. The National Appliance Company requires that the percentage of the plastic shelves that are defective be no more than 10%. If more than 10% are defective, the Prime Factor Company will reject the lot. To test this, the National Appliance Company randomly selects 573 of the shelves and has them inspected. It turns out that 70 are defective. Use this information and a 5% level of significance to determine if National Appliance should reject the batch.

Answer:

  The decision rule is  

Reject the null hypothesis  

The conclusion is  

There is no sufficient evidence to conclude that  proportion of defective shelf is less than or equal to 0.10  hence the National Appliance Company should reject that batch of shelfs

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The population of defective plastics is  [tex]p = 0.10[/tex]

    The sample size is  n = 573

    The number of shelf that are defective is  k =  70  

     The level of significance is  [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as

           [tex]\^ p = \frac{k}{n}[/tex]

=>       [tex]\^ p = 0.1222[/tex]

The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : p \le 0.10[/tex]

The  alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : p > 0.10[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

            [tex]z = \frac{\^ p - p }{ \sqrt{\frac{p (1 - p)}{ n } } }[/tex]

=>          [tex]z = \frac{ 0.1222 - 0.10 }{ \sqrt{\frac{0.10 (1 - 0.10 )}{ 573 } } }[/tex]

=>          [tex]z = 1.77[/tex]

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the right  corresponding to  1.77   is

       [tex]p-value = P(Z > 1.77 ) = 0.038364[/tex]

From the question we are told that  [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex] hence

  The decision rule is  

Reject the null hypothesis  

The conclusion is  

  There is no sufficient evidence to conclude that  proportion of defective shelf is less than or equal to  0.10  hence the company should reject theat batch of shelfs

Answers

Answer:

2,6

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

1. (2,6)

2. C

3. B

Step-by-step explanation:

y = - 2x + 10

y = x + 4

SInce the two equation both equal y, we can said they are equal.

- 2x + 10 = x + 4

      - 10        - 10

- 2x = x - 6

- x     - x

- 3x = - 6

/-3        /-3

x = 2

Then we plug the x value into the equations and we will get the point that intersects y=-2x+10 and y=x+4.

- 2(2) + 10 = 2 + 4

- 4 + 10 = 6

6 = 6

This is true since both sides are equal.

The point that intersects y=-2x+10 and y=x+4 is (2,6).

2. If the two lines y1=−12x+5 and y2=2x+5 were to be graphed, what would their intersection point represent?

C) Their intersection point is the only point where different inputs into both functions yield the same output.

Ex: y=-2x+10 and y=x+4 both have the same solution which is (2,6).

3. Given an equation y=−13x+5, explain the steps for using slope-intercept form to graph this equation.

y = - 1/3x + 5

y = - 1/3(0) + 5

y = 5

Point: (0,5)

Slope: - 1/3

Rise over run (y/x) so up 3 and left 1.

B) Use the y-intercept to plot the point (0,5). Then, using the y-intercept as a reference point, move left 1 unit and up 3 units, and plot a second point.

Solve 5 (y + 10) = 7y

Answers

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there! In order to solve this equation, all you have to do is distribute the 5 to the (y+10) and then shift like terms. Once you do that, you would get 5y+50=7y, and then you subtract the 5y from the 7y in order to get the 50 by itself. That would get you 2y, and from there, you just simply divide the value of 50 by 2y- getting you to 25 as the value of y. I hope this helped! <3 (Please mark as branliest if I got this right!)

Answer:

y = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute 5 (y+ 10) to get

5y + 50 = 7y

subtract the 5y from both sides to get

50 = 2y

divide the 2 from 2y on both sides to get

25 = y, or y = 25

0 is our starting point.

We're going forward by 8n first, so that's the minuend. Indicate that with +8n.

We're going back twice. First by 2n, then by 14n, so those two are the subtrahends. Indicate these two as -2n and -14n respectively.

That completes the expression of 8n - 2n - 14n.
