Answer:

67 years old. (you only gave 4 people and missed out one person)

Step-by-step explanation:

take all the ages first and put the unknown (age of the person who entered the room) as x.

14, 16, 16, 13, x

all of these numbers added to together would be:

59 + x

Because the question is talking about the mean age, to find mean:

add all the values in the data (ages) and divide by the total number of values on the list. (in your case would be 6 people (following your question) but you gave only 5 people including the x).

then (59 + x) / 6 = 21

21 x 6 = 126

126 = 59 + x

x = 67

I mean based on your possible answers, the third one is correct,but you can go further that that, in the steps i will note when you've came to the "answer"

$\frac{x + 2}{ {x}^{2} - 3x - 10 } \times \frac{x - 3}{ {x}^{2} + x - 12 }$
$\frac{x + 2}{ {x}^{2} + 2x - 5x - 10 } \times \frac{x - 3}{ {x}^{2} + 4x - 3x - 12 }$
$\frac{x + 2}{x(x + 2) - 5(x + 2)} \times \frac{x - 3}{x(x + 4) - 3(x + 4)}$
$\frac{x + 2}{(x + 2) \times (x - 5)} \times \frac{x - 3}{(x + 4) \times (x - 3)}$
$\frac{1}{(x + 4) \times (x + 5)}$
and basically that's the "answer", but you can simplify more.

$\frac{1}{ {x}^{2} + 4x - 5x - 20}$
$\frac{1}{ {x}^{2} - x - 20 }$
Hope that's helpful

Answer:

3308.5 thousands or 3,308,500.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a formula that represented the number of incarcerated adults N (measured in thousands) in a certain country can be approximated by the equation $N=2.7x^2+72.4x+1911$ where x is the number of years since 2000.
