What's the median of these numbers: 14,20,24,16,20,18

The answer to this is 19. The reason why is because the median falls between 18 and 20. After that, you have to take the middle number that falls between 18 and 20. In this case, 19.

19. Put them in order first so: 14, 16,18, 20,20,24. The middle numbers are 18 and 20 and the number in the middle of them is 19.

3/7 of the people living in the apartment building are men. 5/8 of the remaining are women. The rest are children. A total of 27

Vladimir [108]

People in building ---- x (men, women and children)
children --- y
men + women + children = x
(3/7)x + (5/8)(4/7)x + y = x
3x/7 + 5x/14 + y = x
times 14
6x + 5x + 14y = 14x
14y = 3x

y + 220 =x
sub into the other one
14y = 3(y+220)
11y = 660
y = 60
then 14(60) = 3x ---> x = 280

So we have 280 people in the building.

check: 3/7 of 280 are men = 120
leaving 160 women and children
5/8 of these ot 100 are women

so we have 120 men, 100 women and 60 children!

hope this is right! have a great. day

3х - 30 = у 7y - 6 = 3х

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This one is simple substitution... at least, substitution is the easiest method. The first equation is 3x – 30 = y and the second is 7y – 6 = 3x

As I look, I see 3 ways to use substitution to solve this:

substitute 7y – 6 for 3x
substitute 3x – 30 for y
solve 3x – 30 = y for 3x and make it equal to 7y – 6

We're going to only use 1 method for the sake of time. Try the other two on your own. Assuming you don't make any mistakes, they will work.

Method 1:

3x – 30 = y

7y – 6 = 3x — initial system of equations

7y – 6 – 30 = y — substitute 7y – 6 for 3x

7y – 6 – 30 = y — marking like terms, bold for constants, underlined for variables

7y – 36 = y — combining the constants and simplifying

Here, you could diverge into multiple paths: add 36 to both sides, subtract y from both sides, divide by 6 OR subtract 7y from both sides and divide by –6 . For the sake of time, I'm subtracting 7y, though I don't like dealing with negatives.

7y – 7y – 36 = y – 7y — subtract 7y from both sides

–36 = –6y — simplify

–36 ÷ –6 = –6y ÷ –6 — divide by –6 on both sides

y = 6 — simplify

Again, we can diverge here: substitute y into 3x – 30 = y or substitute y into 7y – 6 = 3x

I'm going to choose 3x – 30 = y but it will work either way, should you take the time (if you have it) to chase down every path this problem can take.

3x – 30 = y — initial equation

3x – 30 = 6 — substitute 6 for y

3x – 30 + 30 = 6 + 30 — add 30 to both sides to isolate 3x

3x = 36 — simplify the expression

3x ÷ 3 = 36 ÷ 3 — divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

x = 12 — simplify

So, we have x = 12 and y = 6 . We know they work for 3x – 30 = y but not if they work for 7y – 6 = 3x . Let's substitute those in to see if (12, 6) really is the solution point.

7y – 6 = 3x — original equation

7(6) – 6 ≟ 3(12) — substitute 6 for y and 12 for x

42 – 6 ≟ 36 — simplify by multiplying

36 = 36 ✔ — simplify by combining like terms on left side

Success! It works! We have found our solution!

I hope this helps increase your understanding of the concept. Have a great day!
