Janes weight = x
Twelve pounds less than twice janes weight is 270 pounds
12 less than 2x is 270
2x -12 = 270 (add 12 to each side)
2x = 270 + 12
2x = 282 (divide 2 from each side)
x = 282/2
x = 141
The answer is 141 pounds
mean = (sum of values) / (number of values)
we know mean is 13 and we are given 8 values. The ninth value is the missing x:
13 = ((sum of 8 values) + x)/9
13 = (12+10+15+12+13+15+11+15+x)/9
13*9 = 103+x
x = 14
The missing value is 14. There are 14 pillows in the last box.
Answer:
5m - 4n
5(5) - 4(3) ( As m= 5 and n= 3)
