what is the solution to 2(3x+4)=20​

Answers

Answer:

x=36

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: X=2

Step-by-step explanation: you want to distribute the 2 to the 3x and 4. That will give you 6x+8 now you want to subtract 8 from both sides. That will give you 6x=12 and you divide both sides by 6 and your final answer should be X=2. :)

If the lateral surface area of a cube is 100 square inches, what is the length of an edge?

Answers

Answer:

Length of an edge=4.0825 inches

Approximately 4.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Lateral surface area of a cube=100 square inches

There are 6 square surfaces on a cube.

6a^2=surface area of a cube

6a^2=100

Divide both sides by 6

a^2=100/6

a^2=16.6667

Find the square root of both sides

√a^2=√16.6667

a=√16.6667

x=4.0825 inches

i) Find the volume of the tank (to the nearest litre)

ii)Find the depth of the water in the tank when it has 2000L of water (to the nearest
centimeter)

Answers

Answer:

i)  25130 Liters

ii) 16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the tank is in cubic meters, not liters.  So the answer to question i) would be 25.13 cubic meters, which equals 25130 Liters.

ii) Now we find the depth.  2000 is 7.959% of 25130.  7.959% of the 2 meter height is 15.917 cm.  Rounded to the nearest cm, it would be 16 cm.

when a watch is sold at ksh.126 a loss of x% is made if sold at ksh.154 aprofit of x%is realized .find the buying price​

Answers

Answer:

ksh 140.

Step-by-step explanation:

when a watch is sold at ksh.126 a loss of x%. This can be summarised as follow:

Selling price (Sp) = ksh 126

Percentage loss = x%

Cost price (Cp) =?

Percentage loss = Cp – Sp/Cp x 100

x% = Cp – 126/Cp .......(1)

if sold at ksh.154 a profit of x% is realized. This can be summarised as follow:

Selling price (Sp) = ksh 154

Percentage gain = x%

Cost price (Cp) =?

Percentage gain = Sp – Cp/Cp x 100

x% = 154 – Cp/Cp..... (2)

Equating equation 1 and 2, we have:

x% = Cp – 126/Cp .......(1)

x% = 154 – Cp/Cp..... (2)

Cp – 126/Cp = 154 – Cp/Cp

Cross multiply

Cp(Cp – 126) = Cp(154 – Cp)

Cancel out Cp

Cp – 126 = 154 – Cp

Collect like terms

Cp + Cp = 154 + 126

2Cp = 280

Divide both side by 2

Cp = 280/2

Cp = 140

Therefore, the cost price otherwise known as the buying price is ksh 140.

Margot is sewing a ribbon on a seam along the perimeter of a square pillow. The side length of the pillow is 2x²+1 inches. She plans to make a similar pillow, including the ribbon, whose side length is 4x−7 inches. What expression can be used for the length of ribbon that she needs for both pillows, and what is the length if x = 3.5?

2x2+4x−6; 22.0 inches

2x2+4x−6; 32.5 inches

4(2x2+4x−6;) 88.0 inches

4(2x2+4x−6;) 130.0 inches

Perimeter of a square = 4 * side length

1- First square pillow

length = 2x²+1 in

Perimeter of first pillow = 4 * (2x²+1) in

Second square pillow

length = 4x-7 in

Perimeter of second pillow = 4(4x-7) in

Total ribbon length required = perimeter of first square pillow + perimeter of second square pillow

Total ribbon length required = 4(2x²+1) + 4(4x-7)

Factorise

4 is the common factor

=4(2x²+1)+(4x-7)

=4(2x²+1+4x-7)

=4(2x²+4x-6)

Total ribbon length required=4(2x²+4x-6)

If x=3.5

Total ribbon length required=4(2x²+4x-6)

=4{2(3.5)²+4(3.5)-6}

=4{2(12.25)+14-6)

=4(24.5+14-6)

The populations are normally distributed.  Determine the:

Hypothesis in symbolic form?

Determine the value of the test statistic?

Find the critical value or value?

determine if you should reject null hypothesis or fail to reject?

write a conclusion addressing the original claim?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven that :

Company A

Sample size n₁ = 16 workers

Mean [tex]\mu[/tex]₁ = 5.2

Standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex]₁ = 1.1

Company B

Sample size n₂ = 21 workers

Mean [tex]\mu[/tex]₂ = 4.6

Standard deviation [tex]\mu[/tex]₂ = 4.6

The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as follows:

[tex]H_o : \mu _1 = \mu_2[/tex]

[tex]H_1 : \mu _1 > \mu_2[/tex]

The value of the test statistics can be determined by using the formula:

[tex]t = \dfrac{\overline {x_1}- \overline {x_2}}{\sqrt{\sigma p^2( \dfrac{1}{n_1}+\dfrac{1}{n_2})}}[/tex]

where;

[tex]\sigma p^2= \dfrac{(n_1 -1) \sigma_1^2+ (n_2-1)\sigma_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma p^2= \dfrac{(16 -1) (1.1)^2+ (21-1)4.6^2}{16+21-2}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma p^2= \dfrac{(15) (1.21)+ (20)21.16}{35}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma p^2= \dfrac{18.15+ 423.2}{35}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma p^2= \dfrac{441.35}{35}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma p^2= 12.61[/tex]

Recall:

[tex]t = \dfrac{\overline {x_1}- \overline {x_2}}{\sqrt{\sigma p^2( \dfrac{1}{n_1}+\dfrac{1}{n_2})}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \dfrac{5.2- 4.6}{\sqrt{12.61( \dfrac{1}{16}+\dfrac{1}{21})}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \dfrac{0.6}{\sqrt{12.61( \dfrac{37}{336})}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \dfrac{0.6}{\sqrt{12.61(0.110119)}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \dfrac{0.6}{\sqrt{1.38860059}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \dfrac{0.6}{1.178388981}[/tex]

t = 0.50917

degree of freedom df = ( n₁ + n₂ - 2 )

degree of freedom df = (16 + 21 - 2)

degree of freedom df = 35

Using Level of  significance ∝ = 0.05, From t-calculator , given that t = 0.50917 and degree of freedom df = 35

p - value =  0.3069

The critical value [tex]t_{\alpha ,d.f}[/tex] = [tex]t_{0.05 , 35}[/tex] = 1.6895

Decision Rule: Reject the null hypothesis if the test statistics is greater than the critical value.

Conclusion: We do not reject the null hypothesis because, the test statistics is lesser than the critical value, therefore we conclude that there is  no sufficient information that the claim that company a retains it workers longer than more than company b.

Answers

Answer:

4 cm long

Step-by-step explanation:

since the original diameter was 8cm long we need to cut 8 in half. this leaves us with 4cm which is the diameter of the largest circular shape that half piece can form.

The diameter is also known as the length of lines from the center which connects two points of the circle's edge.The radius of a circle is the distance between both the circle's center as well as the location of its circumference. "r" is commonly used to refer to it.It is because the original diameter was 8 cm in length. Thereafter, we have 4 cm of circumference left to play with.Therefore the answer is "4 cm".
