(y-5)/2=(y+6)/3 solve

1 answer:

7 0

The solution of the given equation represented in the task content can be determined by first evaluating the LCM and hence is; y= 27.

<h3>What is the solution of the equation as given in the task?</h3>

The given equation is; (y-5)/2=(y+6)/3.

Hence, by multiplying the equation by 6, we have;

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

3y -15 = 2y +12

y = 27.

Hence, it follows that the value of y which is a solution to the equation is; y = 27.

Help please on this math problem: The prices of backpacks at a store are 22, 16, 39, 35, 19, 34, 20, and 26. Find the Mean Absol

Ivanshal [37]

Answer: 7.22
(note: this is a result after rounding. The result before rounding was 7.21875)

========================================================

Explanation:

Given Set of Values = {22, 16, 39, 35, 19, 34, 20, 26}

Add up the values: 22+16+39+35+19+34+20+26 = 211
Divide that sum by 8 as there are 8 values: 211/8 = 26.375

The mean is 26.375

Now subtract the mean from each data value. Apply the absolute value to ensure the difference is never negative

|22 - 26.375| = 4.375
|16 - 26.375| = 10.375
|39 - 26.375| = 12.625
|35 - 26.375| = 8.625
|19 - 26.375| = 7.375
|34 - 26.375| = 7.625
|20 - 26.375| = 6.375
|26 - 26.375| = 0.375

Add up those results
4.375+10.375+12.625+8.625+7.375+7.625+6.375+0.375 = 57.75
Then divide by 8
57.75/8 = 7.21875

The mean absolute deviation of the prices is 7.21875
Rounded to two decimal places, it is 7.22
Since we're talking about money, it makes sense to round to the nearest penny.
