Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x × (x + 9) = x² + 9x = 286
x² + 9x - 286 = 0
(x - 13)(x + 22)
x = 13 or -22
Since you cannot have negative length, it’s 13

$315, i cant give a thorough explanation since i did it all in my head but basically amal gets 5 portions of the money and Salma gets 9, meaning she gets 4 more, so if 4 portions is $252 then it cant be any of the others since they are too low or way too high, $315 is the only reasonable one.

Determine measurements of data for the following numbers:

Leno4ka [110]

Answer: mean=87, median=87.5 and range=18

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean:

First add all the numbers

78+95+77+92+87+79+94+86+88+94 = 870

Then you divide the answer by counting the numbers

870÷10

=87

Median:

First arrange the numbers in ascending order (from smallest to largest)

77, 78, 79, 86, 87, 88, 92, 94, 94, 95

pick the two middle numbers which is 87 and 88

then you do $\frac{87+88}{2}$

= 175÷2

= 87.5

range = Largest number - smallest number

= 95-77

= 18

QUESTION :-

what is the value of x to the nearest whole number?

ANSWER :-

$\cos( \theta) = \frac{base}{hypotenuse} \\ \cos(30) = \frac{x}{24} \\ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{ \cancel2} = \frac{x}{ \cancel{24}} = \frac{x}{12} \\ 1.732 = \frac{x}{12} \\ 12 \times 1.732 = x \\ x = 20.7$
