The given expression is

$-2(x+3)=-2(x+1)-4$

First, we use the distributive property to get rid of the parenthesis.

$-2x-6=-2x-2-4$

Now, we sum 2x on each side

$\begin{gathered} -2x-6+2x=-2x-6+2x \\ -6=-6 \end{gathered}$

As you can observe, the variables were eliminated and the resulting equation is true. This means the equation has infinite solutions.

Answer:

data set 1 : the mean is (1+2+4+4+5+5+6+7+9+9+9+11) / 12 = 72/12 = 6the MAD is :1 - 6 = -5....|-5| = 52 - 6 = -4....|-4| = 44 - 6 = -2...|-2| = 24 - 6 = -2...|-2| = 25 - 6 = -1...|-1| = 15 - 6 = -1...|-1| = 16 - 6 = 0 ...| 0| = 07 - 6 = 1....|1| = 19 - 6 = 3...|3| = 39 - 6 = 3...|3| = 39 - 6 = 3...|3| = 311 - 6 = 5...|5| = 5(5+4+2+2+1+1+0+1+3+3+3+5) / 12 = 30/12 = 2.5 <== the MAD2nd data set :the mean is (1+3+4+6+6+6+7+9+9+10+10+13) / 12 = 84/12 = 7mad is :1 - 7 = -6...| -6| = 63 - 7 = -4...|-4| = 44 - 7 = -3...|-3| = 36 - 7 = -1...|-1| = 16 - 7 = -1..|-1| = 16 - 7 = -1..|-1| = 17 - 7 = 0...|0| = 09 - 7 = 2...|2| = 29 - 7 = 2...|2| = 210 - 7 = 3..|3| = 310 - 7 = 3...|3| = 313 - 7 = 6...|6| = 6(6+4+3+1+1+1+0+2+2+3+3+6) / 12 = 32/12 = 2.67 <== the MADthe difference of the means is 1. This value is less then half of the mean absolute deviation of either data set. <== ur answer

It's "D", because when you divide 4.5/5 you get .90 per pound so buying per pound it less.

The measure of an angle is 8 times the measure of its complement. tina writes an equation and finds the correct measure of each

pogonyaev

One of the unknown angles (let's called it n) has a complement (meaning their sum adds up to 90 degrees) and the other angle is 8 times the unknown angle (8n)

With all this information, you should have the equation:

n + 8n = 90

To solve, combine like terms to get:

9n = 90

Divide by 9 on both sides to isolate the variable n.

n = 10

Now we plug back in to find our angle measurements. The first angle, n, is 10 degrees. The second angle, 8n, is 8 * 10 which is 80; the second angle is 80 degrees.
