You combine like terms. You could subtract the positive term from both sides and divide to get the variable alone

You combine the like terms by canceling out one side of the equation for the number with no variable, and the one with the variable, but they must be on different sides.

Then, you get the variable by itself, by dividing (in this equation, sometimes you will multiply, if there is a fraction)

Example:

4x - 1 = 2x + 7
+ 1 + 1

4x = 2x + 8
- 2x - 2x

2x = 8

2x /2 = 8 /2

x = 4

lbvjy [14]

Answer: a) Unimodal and symmetric

b) 0.26

c) 0.038

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Sample size of investors (n)= 131

True proportion of smartphone users(p) =26%

a) Since sampling distribution for the sample proportion is approximately normal when n is larger.

Normal distribution is Unimodal and symmetric.

So correct option : Unimodal and symmetric

b) mean of this sampling distribution = p = 0.26

c) standard deviation of the samplingdistribution = $\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.26\times (1-0.26)}{131}}=\sqrt{0.00146870229008}$

$=0.0383236518364\approx0.038$

How much of 30% HCI and 45% HCI would be needed to mix and produce 50 liters of 35% HCI

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

33 1/3 liters of 30%
16 2/3 liters of 45%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the liters of 45% solution needed. Then the amount of HCl in the mix is ...

0.45x +0.30(50 -x) = 0.35(50)

0.15x = 0.05(50) . . . . . simplify, subtract 0.30(50)

x = (0.05/0.15)(50) = 50/3 = 16 2/3 . . . liters of 45% HCl

33 1/3 liters of 30% and 16 2/3 liters of 45% HCl are needed.

_____

Comment on the solution

You may notice that the general solution to a mixture problem of this sort is that the fraction of the mix that is the highest contributor is ...

(mix % - low %) / (high % - low %) = (.35 -.30) / (.45 -.30) = .05/.15 = 1/3
