If you choose 10 swimmers and 4 are Stingrays, you can say that Stingrays make up roughly 40% of the swimmers. If 20 Stingrays make up 40% of all the swimmers, we just have to find what number 20 is 40% of. That’s easy enough by cross multiplication:
20/x = 40/100
20/x = 4/10
20/x = 2/5
x = 50.
Double check by multiplying 50 * 0.4. Since 50 * 0.4 = 20, we know we have the right answer. There are about 50 swimmers on this team.

Step-by-step explanation:
A) mean score = (18+25+28+15+6+18+2+4+25+15)/10
= 15.6 runs
Approximately 16 runs
b) (18+25+28+15+6+18+2+4+25+15+31)/11
= 17 runs
Answer:
X= -5
Step-by-step explanation:
- You must move all constants to one side of the equation (one side of the equal sign) and away from 2x. To do so, you must do the inverse operation, which would be subtraction in this case because 3 is a positive number. (Inverse of addition is subtraction, Inverse of subtraction is addition, Inverse of multiplication is division, and inverse of division is multiplication) If you squish a constant and variable together (2x) it means multiplication.
- What you must do to one side, you must do to the other. So, since you subtracted 3 from the 3, you must subtract 3 from -7, too(subtracting from a negative is just addition- but you keep the negative sign). Once this is done, your equation will be 2x=-10
- Now, you must do the inverse operation to 2x to separate the 2. The inverse operation will be division. So, you divide both sides by 2. 2x divided by 2 will give you x. -10 divided by 2 will give you -5. (When you divided negative and positive numbers, the signs are different, meaning it's negative. If they had the same sign, it would be positive.)
- Therefore, your answer is x= -5
Hope I helped! :)
Sorry about the whole dang essay lol
