-1(18+4x)=8
Then you distribute
-18-4x=8
-4x=26
X= -6.5

Because there is a negative sign in front of the parentheses, you have to make all the signs in the parentheses the opposite:
-18 - 4x = 8   Then you can add -4x to the other side to make it positive and then subtract 8 to the other side to work on getting x all by itself. 
-18 - 8 = 4x   Then add your two negatives (because you add negatives when you have two of them because you are kind of making the answer more negative in a way :/ ) to get -26:
-26 = 4x   Then divide by 4 to simplify and get x all by itself which leaves you with:
-6.5 = x (because when you divide a negative by a positive the quotient is negative) Check your answer by substituting -6.5 in for x in the original equation:
-[18 + 4(-6.5)] = 8   Multiply 4 times -6.5 (because you always start with the innermost parentheses) to get -26:
-(18 - 26) = 8   Change the signs because of the negative in the front:
-18 + 26 = 8    Subtract -18 from 26 to get 8
8 = 8  Correct!    So your answer is x = -6.5!

The mean value of 8 numbers is 17. Three of these numbers (9, 11, and 20) are discarded.
Viktor [21]

Answer:

19.2

Step-by-step explanation:

You get the mean of a set of numbers by adding them and dividing the sum by how many numbers there are.  In this case, you don't know what the individual 8 numbers are, but you can find out what they add up to.

Mean = (sum) / 8

17 = (sum) / 8

17 x 8 = sum

136 = sum

Now take out the numbers 9, 11, 20, which reduces the sum by 40.  There are 5 numbers left and they add up to 136 - 40 = 96.

The new mean is 96 / 5 = 19.2

A circle is inscribed in a square is 10 inch sides what is the circumference of the circle use 3.14 as an approximation for pie
MissTica

Answer:

31.4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If a circle is inscribed in a square then diameter of circle inscribed is same as  side as of square.

In the given problem it is given that side of square is 10 inches.

So diameter of  circle inscribed is 10 inches

we know radius of circle is half of  diameter of  circle

Thus, radius of circle inscribed = diameter of  circle/2 = 10/2 = 5inches.

Expression to calculate circumference of circle is given by 2\pi r

where r is the radius of circle.

Thus circumference of  circle inscribed is

2*\pi *5\\=> 10*3.14 \\=> 31.4

Thus, circumference of  circle inscribed is  31.4 inches
