Answer:

median = 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the middle value of a data set arranged in ascending order. If there is not a middle value then the median is the average value of the numbers either side of the middle.

Data in ascending order is

8, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21

The median is between 17 and 18, hence

median = \frac{17+18}{2} = 17.5

Answer:

<h2>17.5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the value that separates the higher half from the bottom half of the data sample (middle value).

We have

15, 8, 19, 21, 18, 17

Write from the smallest to the largest number

8, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21

We have an even number of numbers. Therefore we calculate the arithmetic mean of the two middle numbers:

8, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21

(17 + 18) : 2 = 35 : 2 = 17.5

Combine like terms to simplify the expression:<br><br> -7x + 3y - 2 + 6x - 1 - y2
diamong [38]
It seems that the expression is - 7x + 3y - 2 + 6x -1 - y^2

like terms:

-7x + 6x = - x

3y stands alone

-2 - 1 = -3

- y^2 stands alone

Answer: - x + 3y - 3 - y^2

[note: if the last term is not y^2 but 2y, then you have to combine +3y - 2y = y and the answer would be - x + y - 3]

givi [52]

Answer:

19/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Aquí, queremos escribir el número total de millas que Hans corrió en forma de una fracción impropia.

Para hacer esto, agregamos todas las millas recorridas.

Matemáticamente, eso sería 3 + 4/5 = 3 4/5 Esta es la forma de fracción mixta.

La fracción impropia es así (5 * 3) + 4/5 = 19/5

SOLVE FOR X??? <br><br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B3%7D%20%2B2%20%3D%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B4%7D%2B3" id="TexFor

Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \boxed{ \sf{1. \:  \:  \:  \:  \: x = 12}}}}

\boxed{ \bold{ \boxed{ \sf{2. \:  \:  \:  \:  \: x = 3}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf{1. \:  \:  \:  \:  \frac{x}{3}  + 2 =  \frac{x}{4}  + 3}

Move x / 4 to left hand side and change its sign

Similarly, move 2 to right hand side and change it's sign

\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{x}{3}  -  \frac{x}{4}  = 3 - 2}}

Take the L.C.M of 3 and 4

L.C.M of 3 and 4 = 12

\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{x \times 4 - x \times 3}{12}  = 3 - 2}}

\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{4x - 3x}{12}  = 3 - 2}}

\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{x}{12}  = 3 - 2}}

Subtract 2 from 3

\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{x}{12}  = 1}}

Do cross multiplication

\longrightarrow{ \sf{x  = 1 \times 12}}

\longrightarrow { \sf{x = 12}}

--------------------------------------------------------------------

\sf{2. \:  \:  \:  \: 3(4 + 2x) = 33 - x }

Distribute 3 through the parentheses

\longrightarrow{ \sf{12 + 6x = 33 - x}}

Move x to left hand side and change it's sign

Similarly, move 12 to right hand side and change it's sign

\longrightarrow{ \sf{6x +  x = 33 - 12}}

Collect like terms

\longrightarrow{ \sf{7x = 33 - 12}}

Subtract 12 from 33

\longrightarrow{ \sf{7x = 21}}

Divide both sides by 7

\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{7x}{7}  =  \frac{21}{7} }}

Calculate

\longrightarrow{ \sf{x = 3}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
