The usa today reports that the average expenditure on valentine's day is $100.89. do male and female consumers differ in the amounts they spend? the average expenditure in a sample survey of 50 male consumers was $135.67, and the average expenditure in a sample survey of 38 female consumers was $68.64. based on past surveys, the standard deviation for male consumers is assumed to be $40, and the standard deviation for female consumers is assumed to be $23. what is the point estimate of the difference between the population mean expenditure for males and the population mean expenditure for females (to 2 decimals)?

225x²+4=0

225x²=0-4

225x²=-4

x²=-4/225

x=±√-4/225

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 .

answer: the resulting cross section is a rectangle. solution: a plane parallel to the base of a triangular prism will intersect a cross section that is the same shape as its bases. so the cross section is a triangle.
