How do you solve for x in the equation 4x-2(x-2)=-9+5x-8

first distribute the 2 into (x-2) so that the new equation is 4x-2x+4=9+5x-8 Afterwards add up common factors and get the x to one side 2x+4=1+5x (subtract 2x from both sides) 4=1+3x (subtract 1 from both sides) 3=3x (divide by 3 on both sides) 1=x

Hope this helped!!

step-by-step explanation:

the question requires us to calculate the approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample given the following statistics;

sample mean = 24

standard deviation, σ = 0.4

sample size , n = 49

the confidence interval for a population mean is calculated using the formula;

sample mean ± z-score*(σ/sqrt(n))

the z-score associated with a 95% confidence interval, from the standard normal tables, is;

1.96

substituting these values into the formula;

24 ± 1.96*(0.4/7)

= 24 ± 0.112

from the alternatives given, choice d is closest to the above expression;
