3(x-2)=12

Solve the equation above for x. Which of the following is the correct answer?

 

correlations fall into positive, negative, and no correlation. A positive correlation shows that an increase in one variable increase results in an increase on the other variable increases as shown.

A negative correlation scatter plot shows that an increase in one variable results in a decrease on the other one.

The no-correlation scatter plot demonstrates that there is no response between variables. A change in one variable has no effect on the other variable.

Looking at the provided scatter plot, the heights of the students does not have any relationship on the students’ scores. Thus, the type of correlation is no correlation.

 we are to find the selling price of the sweater from the marked price and the discount. The marked price is given as

Discount=mark off rate*original price

Discount=15%*$78

Convert 15% into a fraction, which become 15/100=0.15. Then

Discount=0.15*$78=$11.70

The selling price of the sweater will be the original price less the discount or mark off value. Then,

Thus, the approximate selling price of the sweater is $66.

We follow the order operations to solve for the unknown value of x.

3(2x+5)=11x+5

Open the bracket on the LHS by multiplying each term by 3

(3*2x)+(3*5)=11x+5

6x+15=11x+5

Subtract 15 from both sides

6x+15-15=11x+5-15

6x=11x-10

Subtract 11x on both sides

6x-11x=11x-11x-10

-5x=-10

Divide both sides by -5

-5x/-5=-10/-5

x= 2

Thus, the value of unknown value of x is 2.

We need to find the radius in order to find the area of the pizza.

Radius of pizza

The area of the pizza

But r=4.5

Thus, the area of the pizza is 20.25  in2.

NOTE:  is used as is since values of pi may vary e.g. 3.14, 3.142, 22/7. Hence we use pi symbol to generalize.

: the question requires we find the cost of four syringes.

If we let x be the cost of four syringes, then we set up a proportion equation with cost as numerator and number of syringes as denominator. The proportion equation becomes

Cross-multiply to solve for x

Rearranging the above

Divide both sides of the equation by 55

Thus, the cost of 4 syringes is $48.

from the given data, one gallon of cleaning solution requires 6 oz of ammonia. The mathematical expression of this statement can be expressed in two ways:

Or

The question requires we find the amount of ammonia needed to make 230 gallons of the solution. So, we use the second option and proceed as follows:

From the above equation, gallon of solution will cancel, and oz of ammonia is left.

Therefore, the solution will require 1380 oz of ammonia.

Let's calculate the number of each color of gumball:

• Red: 20% of 120 → 0.2×120=24
• Orange: 30% of 120 → 0.3×120=36
• Yellow: 5% of 120 → 0.05×120=6
• Green: 10% of 120 → 0.1×120=12
• Blue: The remaining percentage: 100%−(20%+30%+5%+10%) = 100%−65% =35%
• So, 0.35×120=42 blue gumballs.

Now, we find how many more blue gumballs there are than yellow:

42−6=36

Histograms are used to present frequency of data of one variable over the other. On the other hand, a bar graph is used to compare the two variables with the rectangles not touching one another as in histograms. Scatter plots are used to show the correlations between two variables. In this case, the teacher will be able to use scatter plot to establish the correlation between test scores and the subjects.

: a ratio can be thought of a fraction of the form a/b, where b is not equal to zero. In ratio form, to means per.

Now, the class has 26 girls and 22 boys. Thus, the ratio of girls to boys becomes:

The fraction above reduces into

In ratio form, girls: boys=13:11

Thus, the ratio of girls to boys in a class of 48 students is 13 to 11.

When solving percent problems, the following words and their meaning becomes handy.

• Is means equals
• Of means multiply
• What means unknown (variable)

If we let x represent the amount of tip the couple want to leave behind, then

So, the couple will leave a tip of $2.84, which is about $3.00
