Answer: " p = 18 " .
__________________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________________
The [arithmetic] mean =

{the sum of all the values in the data set}
divided by {the number of values in the number set} ;
__________________________________________________
→ 17 = (<span>10 + 12 + 16 + 20 + 26 + p) / 6 ;

__________________________________________________
</span>→ (10 + 12 + 16 + 20 + 26 + p) = 17 * 6 ;

→ (p + 84) = 102

Subtract "84" from each side of the equation;
to isolate "p" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "p" ;

→ p + 84 – 84 = 102 – 84 ;

→ p = 18 .

The answer is: " p = 18 " .

There are 6 numbers total

17 * 6 = 102

10 + 12 + 16 + 20 + 26 = 84

p = 102-84 = 18

p = 18

Adiya said that the first step to solving the quadratic equation x2 + 6 = 20x by completing the square was to divide 6 by 2, squ

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: Adiya’s method is not correct. To form a perfect square trinomial, the constant must be isolated on one side of the equation. Also, the coefficient of the term with an exponent of 1 on the variable is used to find the constant in the perfect square trinomial. Adiya should first get the 20x term on the same side of the equation as x2. Then she would divide 20 by 2, square it, and add 100 to both sides.

an item that was selling for $72 is reduced to $60 find the percent decrease in price round your answer to the nearest tenth of

lyudmila [28]

The amount of decrease is $12.00 :$72.00 - $60.00 = $12.00

you then divide the amount of decrease by the original price to find the percent decrease:

$12.00 ÷ $72.00 = .166666... = 16.7%
