When finding the mean you add up the numbers that are needed to find the mean and divide them by the amount of numbers you added. For example question 5 you will add 58+58+62+55+49+48 which will equal 330 and then divide it by 6 because there are 6 numbers which is 55.
X-7=8
Add 7 to both sides so you can isolate the variable
x=15

Compare the terms.

Therefore, a = -2 and n = 3. From the law of exponent above, we receive:

<u>E</u><u>x</u><u>p</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>D</u><u>e</u><u>f</u><u>.</u> (For cubic)

Factor (-2)^3 out.

(-2) • (-2) = 4 | Negative × Negative = Positive.

4 • (-2) = -8 | Negative Multiply Positive = Negative.

If either denominator or numerator is in negative, it is the best to write in the middle or between numerator and denominators.
Hence,

The answer is - 1 / 8
