Make an equation. x will be the third number.

To find the average, you add up the numbers then divide the sum by the number of numbers you added up.

(8 + 9 + x) ÷ 3 = 7
Now solve. Add up like terms (8 + 9).

(17 + x) ÷ 3 = 7
Multiply both sides by 3.

17 + x = 21
Subtract both sides by 17.

x = 4

The third number is 4.

(8+9+x)/3=7
(17+x)=21

Write a function rule that gives the total cost c(p) of p pounds of sugar if each pound costs $0.42.
julia-pushkina [17]
Since a pound of sugar increases proportionally to the total cost of sugar bought, then the function can be written as:

c(p) = 0.42p

Where: c(p) = total cost of sugar bought
p = pounds of sugar

c(p) is a function of p, because c(p) depends on p.
