The Correct change to make the Equation correct is Change (x+5) to (x−5).

The Correct option is (C).

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides. LHS = RHS is a common mathematical formula.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given:

12(2x+6)+4(x+5)=5x−17

28x + 72= 5x-17

23x = 109

x= 4.73

First, change (2x+6) to 12(2x−6).

12 (2x - 6) + 4(x+5) = 5x- 17

24x - 72 +4x +20 = 5x- 17

28x -52 = 5x- 17

23x = 35

x= 1.52

Now, Change (x+5) to (x−5).

12 (2x + 6) + 4(x-5)  = 5x- 17

24x + 72 +4x -20  = 5x- 17

28x + 52  = 5x- 17

23x = 69

x=3

Hence, Change (x+ 5) to (x-5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum = -1

Product = 3*(-4) = -12

Factors = -4 and 3       { (-4)*3 = -12 & (-4) + 3 = -1}

3x² - x - 4 = 3x² + 3x - 4x -4 {Rewrite the middle term using the factors}

               =(x + 1)(3x - 4)

x + 1 = 0   ;  3x - 4 = 0

A fraction is a metric unit for describing a piece or component of a whole. It represents the appropriate parts of the totality. A fraction is made up of two parts: the numerator and the denominator. The number at the top is the numerator, and the number at the bottom is the denominator.

Fractions are used to represent the parts of an entity or collection of entities. The components of a fraction are two. The figure at the top of the line is the numerator. It provides information on how many equal sections from the total or collection were taken. The number that appears below the line is the denominator.

We multiply the initial price by the fractions' decimal conversions to determine how much we spent. The quantities are then combined.

You purchased sneakers for $60 and paid 2/3 of that amount, or $0.6666, for a total of $40.20, saving $19.80.

Sweater costs $35 and you paid $7.50 for it, saving you $10.50. 35(0.7)=$24.50.

You paid $45 for a jacket, and since 5/6=0.8333, 45(0.84)=$37.80, you made a $7.20 profit.

The elimination method is used for solving linear equations. Here we make use of the addition property of equality, that is when same number is added on both sides of equation, it still remains equal.

Lets look into some examples.

     x + y = 10  

      x - y = 2

By adding both equations,

     x + y + x - y = 10 + 2

 + y and - y are cancelled or y term is eliminated.

      2x = 12

       x  = 6

     2x + 3y = 10

   -3x + 3y  = 15

Here to eliminate y, we have to add the additive inverse of second equation.

  2x + 3y + 3x - 3y = 10-15

    5x = -5

      x = -1

   x + 4y = 5

   3x - y = 2

To equalize the y term we multiply the second equation by 4

   12x - 4y = 8

Adding both equations,

x + 4y + 12x - 4y = 5 + 8

13x = 13

Using the concept of circumference of a circle, the length of the minute hand is 16.5mm.

What is circumference of a circle?

The measurement of the circle's perimeter, also known as the circle's boundary, is called its circumference . The radius of the circle is considered when applying the formula to determine the circumference of the circle.

Circumference of circle(C) = 2πR

where,

R represents the radius of the circle

π is a constant with an approximate value of 3.14

Now, it is given that the tip of a minute-hand travels 103. 62mm in one hour which means that the minute hand moves 360 degrees.

This means that C= 103.62

So, using the concept of circumference of a circle,

C= 2πR

103.62= 2*3.14*R

So, R= 103.62/6.28

R=16.5mm

Hence, the length of the minute hand is 16.5mm.

In Mathematics, the graph of every quadratic functions (equations) is either an upward or downward parabola, which is typically a u-shaped curve. This ultimately implies that, the graph of a quadratic function (equation) would always form a parabolic curve.

Next, we would re-write the given quadratic function in standard form by equating it to zero (0) as follows;

x² + 8x = -20

Adding 20 to both sides of the linear-quadratic equation, we have the following:

x² + 8x + 20 = -20 + 20

x² + 8x + 20 = 0

In this scenario, we would use an online graphing calculator to plot the graph of the given quadratic function and then determine the point of intersection and vertex.

The measure of x = 5, in the given diagram of a trapezoid.

A trapezoid is a four-sided shape with one parallel pair of sides. It is essentially a two-dimensional shape or figure similar to a square, rectangle, or parallelogram. As a result, this shape, like other shapes, has a perimeter and an area.

When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, the pair of interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary.

Therefore, ∠D + ∠E = 180°

17x - 10 + 21x = 180°

38x − 10 = 180°

38x = 180° + 10

standard deviation = 0.62 = s

sample number = 75 = n

total sophomores = 500

z value of the sophomores = mean / standard deviation = 3.26 / 0.62
