Situation: You have been researching jump distances for squirrels in your area as you design a
new bird feeder. You realize that there is another
species of squirrel, and you gather a set of
observations for both species of squirrel. Your data
is displayed below.
Species #1:
Jump distance (feet): 7, 8.9, 8.4, 6.3, 10, 8.2,
9.9, 8.5, 9.3, 8.8, 9.2, 8.3, 10, 8.8
Species #2:
Jump distance (feet): 10.3, 7, 8.5, 9.2, 6.4, 9.2,
9, 4.2, 5.6, 6.4, 9.8, 9, 3.9, 7.6

80 the answer is 80

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
