Let X = number of Giraffes
Number of elephants = 3X - 4
Because it was stated that there are more than 23 elephants, the number should not fall below 23.

The algebraic expression would be:

3X - 4 = 23

To get X; Transfer -4 to the other side, changing its sign to positive.

3X = 23 + 4
3X = 27

To get X; Divide both sides by 3
X = 27 / 3
X = 9

Since X represents the number of giraffes, then, there are 9 giraffes in the zoo.

To Check: Substitute X with 9 in the algebraic expression.

3X - 4 = 23
3(9) - 4 = 23
27 - 4 = 23
23 = 23 EQUAL

A dolphin ate 2604 pounds of fish during the 31 days in march. What is the average amount of fish the dolphin ate per day.
Ivanshal [37]

To find the average of something you add up all of the data points (in this case it would be how many pounds offish were eaten per day but this is already done for us) then you would divide by the number of points you have (the number of days which is 31). So all you have to do is 2604/31. This equals 84 pounds of fish per day on average.

Why do we square the residuals when using the least-squares line method to find the line of best fit?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

We square the residuals when using the least-squares line method to find the line of best fit because we believe that huge negative residuals (i.e., points well below the line) are just as harmful as large positive residuals (i.e., points that are high above the line).

<h3>What do you mean by Residuals?</h3>

We treat both positive and negative disparities equally by squaring the residual values.  We cannot discover a single straight line that concurrently minimizes all residuals. The average (squared) residual value is instead minimized.

We might also take the absolute values of the residuals rather than squaring them. Positive disparities are viewed as just as harmful as negative ones under both strategies.
