Using the mean concept, it is found that the value of the number that was removed was of 4.

<h3>What is the mean?</h3>

The mean of a data-set is given by the <u>sum of all observations in the data-set divided by the number of observations</u>.

The mean of five numbers is 8, hence, the sum of the numbers is given by:

S = 5 x 8 = 40.

If one of the five numbers is removed, the mean becomes 9, hence, the sum of the four numbers is given by:

S = 4 x 9 = 36.

The difference is:

40 - 36 = 4.

Hence, the value of the number that was removed was of 4.

a rectangle shape whose length is 4 inches less than twice its width. the area is 30 square inches. whats the dimension
Ne4ueva [31]
Using the given information, we can say the following:
Width (W) = x
Length (L) = (2x - 4)
Area of Rectangle = L × W
Using this, we can formulate an equation for rectangle in question:
x(2x - 4) = 30
Expand and move everything to one side:
2x² - 4x - 30 = 0
Simplify by dividing everything on both sides by 2:
x² - 2x - 15 = 0
Factorise:
(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0
Set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x:
x + 5 = 0
x = -5 (a dimension cannot be negative so this is not the solution we want)
x - 3 = 0
x = 3 (this is the solution)
x = W = 3"
L = 2x - 4
L = 2(3) - 4
L = 2"

So, the length the rectangle is 2" and the width is 3"
