There are 20 numbers in the set.

Given,

Set of numbers is 120

one number is increased by 300

and, mean increases to 135.

To find the how many numbers are in the set?

Now, According to the question:

Let the number of numbers be 'n'

Then, (sum of numbers)/n = 120

or, old sum = 120n

if one number is increased by 300, the new sum = (old sum + 300)

Then, (new sum)/ n= 135

or new sum = 135n = old sum + 300 = 120n + 300

The equation will  be:

135n = 120n + 300

15n = 300

n = 20

Hence, There are 20 numbers in the set.

In the question:

The mean of a set of numbers is 120. if one number is increased by 300, the mean increases to 135.

Use the simple interest formula to find the ending balance 5000 at 5% for 3.5 years
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Given:  Principal(P) = $ 5000 , T = 3.5 years and R = 5%.

Using the formula of Simple Interest (I) given by;

I = \frac{P\times R \times T}{100} .......[1] , where P is the Principal amount of money to be invested, R be the rate of interest and T be the time.

Substitute the given values of P ,  R and T in [1] we have;

I = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} = \frac{5000\times 5 \times 3.5}{100}

I = 50 \times 5 \times 3.5 = 250 \times 3.5

Simplify:

I = \$ 175

An Ending balance is calculated by subtracting cash outflows, interest paid for financing and principal paid on financing.

Ending Balance = $ 5000 + $ 175 = $ 5,175.

Therefore, the ending balance is $ 5,175

Which system of inequalities has a solution set that is a line?
Korolek [52]

We're going to solve each of the systems to determine the solution.

<u>System 1</u>

x+y \geq  3\\ x+y \leq  3

using a graph tool

the solution is the line x+y=3

see the attached figure N 1

<u>System 2</u>

x+y \geq  -3\\ x+y \leq  3

using a graph tool

the solution is the shaded area

see the attached figure N 2

<u>System 3</u>

x+y >  3\\ x+y <  3

using a graph tool

The system has no solution

see the attached figure N 3

<u>System 4</u>

x+y >  -3\\ x+y <  3

using a graph tool

the solution is the shaded area

see the attached figure N 4

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

<u>System 1</u>

x+y \geq  3\\ x+y \leq  3
