Answer:
x = -
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 3) - 5 =
(x - 1)
Multiply through by 8 to clear the fractions
6(x - 3) - 40 = x - 1 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
6x - 18 - 40 = x - 1
6x - 58 = x - 1 ( subtract x from both sides )
5x - 58 = - 1 ( add 58 to both sides )
5x = - 57 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = -
Answer:
Average size of the lots = ⅓ acre
Step-by-step explanation:
The question incomplete without specifying what we are to determine.
Question:A builder is buying property where she can build new houses. The line plot shows the sizes for each house. 1/6 has 6 X's 1/3 has 3 X's and 1/2 has 6 X's. Organize the information in a line plot. What is the average size of the lots? _________ acre
Help anyone?
Solution:
We are asked to organize the information in a line plot. See attachment for the line plot.
Given: 1/6 has 6 X's 1/3 has 3 X's and 1/2 has 6 X'sIn no particular order, the sizes of the lots are:1/6, 1/6, 1/6, 1/6, 1/6, 1/6, 1/3, 1/3, 1/3, 1/2, 1/2, 1/2, 1/2, 1/2 and 1/2 acre.
Let's count the number of lot for each size given.
For 1/6: there are 6 X's on the line plot of 1/6 number of lot for 1/6
= the lot × number of times it occurs
= (1/6) × 6 = 6/6 = 1 acre
For 1/3: there are 3 X's on the line plot of 1/3 number of lot for 1/3 = the lot × number of times it occurs
= (1/3) × 3 = 3/3 = 1 acre
For 1/2: there are 6 X's on the line plot of 1/2 number of lot for 1/2
= the lot × number of times it occurs
= (1/2) × 6 = 6/2= 3 acres
To find average size of the lots, we would sum all lot for each given size then divide by the total number of lots given.Sum of all lot for each given size = 1+1+3
Sum of all lot for each given size = 5
The total number of lots given = 15
Average size of the lots = 5/15 = 1/3
Average size of the lots = ⅓ acre
The equation in slope intercept form is,. The given equation is obtained by comparing the standard equation of the straight line.
<h3>What is a slope of a straight line?</h3>
A straight line is a combination of endless points joined on both sides of the point.
The slope 'm' of any straight line is given by:
The given equation is;
1.25 (25) = 31.25
31.25=1.25 (25)
The standard equation of the slope intercept form. is;
On comparing the given equation with the above equation, we get;
y=31.25
m=1.25
x=25
c=0
The equation in slope intercept form is;
Hence, the above equation is the slope intercept form.
