Answer:

15/4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a proportion question

It says 1/2 crates of apple are used for every 3/4 crates of oranges

For 5/2 crates of apple, x crates of oranges will be needed.

To get x, we simply multiply 1/2 by x and equate it to 3/4 multiplied by 5/2

This means: 0.5x = 0.75 × 2.5

x = ( 0.75 × 2.5 ) ÷ 0.5 = 3.75

Hence for 5/2 crates for apple, she will need 15/4 crates of oranges.

Given the sample −4, −10, −16, 8, −12, add one more sample value that will make the mean equal to 3.
Agata [3.3K]

Answer: The value to add to the set is 52

=======================================================

For a moment, ignore the extra value we'll add in later.

The given set of values add to -34.

Let x be the extra value we add in. It adds to the -34 to get -34+x, then we divide by 6 because the set {-4,-10,-16,8,-12,x} has 6 items.

So we get the mean (-34+x)/6

Set this equal to the mean we want (3) and solve for x

(-34+x)/6 = 3

-34+x = 6*3

-34+x = 18

x = 18+34

x = 52

The set {-4,-10,-16,8,-12,x} updates to {-4,-10,-16,8,-12,52} and this set has a mean of 3.

If the equation yx = zx is true, when yx is positive, x /= 0, and z is
denis23 [38]

Answer: negative

Step-by-step explanation:

With yx = zx, then by the Multiplicative Property of Equality, y = z. Since z is a negative integer, then y is also a negative integer. Since yx is positive, with y equal to a negative integer, then x is negative.

*A triangle has sides 42, 4x, and 2x−6. What is the possible range of x?
scoray [572]

Answer:

<h2>The Possible range for x is : ]8 , 18[</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To can draw this triangle if:

4x - (2x - 6) < 42 < 4x + (2x - 6)

solve inequality 1 :

4x - (2x - 6) < 42 ⇔ 2x + 6 < 42 ⇔ 2x < 36 ⇔ x < 18 (1)

Solve inequality 2 :

42 < 4x + (2x - 6) ⇔ 42 < 6x - 6 ⇔ 48 < 6x ⇔ 8 < x (2)

from (1) and (2) we deduce that : 8 < x < 18
