Answer:

  a.  1965

  b.  8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

For answers to questions like these it can work to consider the smallest possible dataset.

<h3>Dataset</h3>

For our purpose, consider the 9 years/values to be averaged to be ...

  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ,9

<h3>Observations</h3>

a. The center value of the data set is 5. Its number is 5-1=4 more than the first one.

The first centered value is from the year 1961 +4 = 1965.

b. The 4 values at the beginning, and the 4 values at the end do not have a corresponding "average" value. That is, 4+4 = 8 values in the series are lost with respect to the number of average values.

8 years of values are lost.

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The simplified fraction is:

\frac{7}{4}

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve this problem we must remember the following:

- Addition or subtraction of fractions, we add or subtract fractions by the following way:

\frac{a}{b}(+-)\frac{c}{d}=\frac{ad(+-)bc}{bd}

- Product of fractions, the multiplication of fraction is linear, meaning that we should multiply the numerator by the numerator and denominator by denominator, so:

\frac{a}{b}*\frac{c}{d}=\frac{ac}{bd}

- Convert mixed number to fraction,

a\frac{b}{c}=a+\frac{b}{c}=\frac{ac+b}{c}

So, solving we have:

\frac{3}{2}*\frac{5}{3}-1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3*5}{2*3} -1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{3*5}{2*3} -1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{6} -1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{15}{6} -1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{6} -(1+\frac{1}{4})+\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{15}{6} -(1+\frac{1}{4})+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{6}-(\frac{4+1}{1*4})+\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{15}{6}-(\frac{4+1}{4})+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{6}-\frac{5}{4}+\frac{1}{2}

\frac{15}{6}-\frac{5}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=(\frac{5}{2}-\frac{5}{4})+\frac{1}{2}\\\\(\frac{5}{2}-\frac{5}{4})+\frac{1}{2}=(\frac{(4*5)-(2*5)}{8})+\frac{1}{2}\\\\(\frac{(4*5)-(2*5)}{8})+\frac{1}{2}=(\frac{20-10}{8})+\frac{1}{2}\\\\(\frac{20-10}{8})+\frac{1}{2}=(\frac{10}{8})+\frac{1}{2}\\\\(\frac{10}{8})+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{4}+\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{5}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{(5*2)+(4*1)}{2*4}\\\\\frac{(5*2)+(4*1)}{2*4}=\frac{10+4}{8}=\frac{14}{8}\\\\\frac{14}{8}=\frac{7}{4}

Hence, the simplified fraction is:

\frac{7}{4}

Answer:

(2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to a linear set of equations is the (x,y) point that satisfies both equations.

When you graph the equations, like in this picture, that means the intersection of the two lines.

x=96


all interior angles equal 180


Subtract exterior andgles by 180 to get interior angles because they are supplementary

180-134=46

180-130=50


Get the third angle inside the triangle

180-50-46=84


subtract by 180 to get x because they are supplementary

180-84=96


Therefore x =96
