Answer:

The distance formula uses the coordinates of points and the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the distance between points. If A and B form the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the length of AB can be found using this formula, leg2 + leg2 = hypotenuse2 (or you can use A squared + B squared = C squared)

The equation for this would be 41/4 + 52/3 - 41/3= ?
So then you just change all the denominators to their lcm, which is 12 and multiply the numerator accordingly.
123/12 + 208/12 - 164/12 = 167/12

Jack works as a waiter and is keeping track of the tips he earns daily. about how much does jack have to earn in tips on sunday

OLga [1]

A mean is an arithmetic average of a set of observations. The amount that Jack has to earn in tips on Sunday if he wants to average $19 a day is $25.

A mean is an arithmetic average of a set of observations. it is given by the formula,

$\rm Mean=\dfrac{\text{Sum of all obervation}}{\text{Number of observation}}$

As it is given that Jack makes $12 on Monday, $14 on Tuesday, $18 on Wednesday, $16 on Thursday, $26 on Friday and $22 on Saturday. And we need to know how much he should earn on Sunday, so the average is $19. Therefore, we can write,

$\rm Mean=\dfrac{\text{Sum of all obervation}}{\text{Number of observation}}$

$19 = \dfrac{12+14+18+16+26+22+x}{7}\\\\133 = 108 + x\\\\133-108=x\\\\x = 25$
