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.

Answer:

-8/7 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

-2         x+1

----- = -----------

12         x+2

Using cross products

-2 (x+2) = 12 (x+1)

Distribute

-2x -4 = 12x+12

Add 2x to each side

-2x+2x -4 = 12x+2x+12

-4 = 14x +12

Subtract 12 from each side

-4-12 = 14x

-16 = 14x

Divide each side by 14

-16/14 =14x/14

-8/7 =x

I need help finding the angles. The answer Isn't even
mart [117]

The 3 inside angles of a triangle equal 180.

Add the 3 angles together to equal 180:


X + (5x-20) + 4x = 180

Simplify the left side by adding like terms:

10x-20 = 180

Add 20 to each side:

10x = 200

Divide both sides by 10:

x = 20


Angle A = x = 20

Angle B = 4X = 4(20) = 80

Angle C = 5x-20 = 5(20) -20 = 100-20 = 80
