Mean=total/the number of values =>total=mean*the number of values
the total of the first set of 8 numbers is : total=8*8=64
the total of the second set of 12 numbers is: 12m
the total of the 20 numbers is: 64+12m
the mean of the 20 number is: (64+12m)/20=5
solve for m: 64+12m=100
12m=36
m=3

X + 6 = 2x - 8<br> x=<br> solve for x
nata0808 [166]

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 6 = 2x - 8

1. Subtract 2x from both sides

x - 2x + 6 = 2x - 2x - 8

2. Simplify

-x + 6 = -8

3. Now, subtract 6 from both sides

-x + 6 - 6 = -8 - 6

4. Simplify

-x = -14

5. Divide both sides by -1 because you would want the x by itself instead of having -x

-1x/-1 = -14/-1

6. Simplify

x = 14 <------ Answer

Hope that helped!!

krok68 [10]
Eliminate parentheses using the distributive property.
  4806x -3204 +2 = 1360 -544x +90x
  5260x = 4562
  x = 4562/5260
  x = 2281/2630
