Felipe subtract 3x from both side to get rid of x on one side. Ik this isn’t part of the answer but the correct way to do this would be to subtract 2x from each side after adding 8 to each side of the equation
I gotchu.
<span>3x-9x+6=20-3x+4x
Combine like terms.
-6x+6=20+x
Bring x over to the left side.
-x -x
-7x+6=20
bring 6 to the right side.
-6 -6
-7x=14
Divide -7 on both sides to isolate x.
x= -2
CHECK
</span><span>3x-9x+6=20-3x+4x
-6(-2)+6=20+(-2)
18=18
ANSWER: x= -2</span>
^ You again? Quit being sus and answer the question here instead of elsewhere.
To find the mean, all you have to do is add each number and then divide by how many numbers you added.
So, 38 + 29 + 16 + 42 + 33 = 158. There were five numbers added, so the next step is to divide 158 by 5. That equals 31.6 as your answer.
