3/4x=15 you flip 3/4 to 4/3 and cancel it out on one side leaving x by itself then you multiply 4/3 by 15 and you get 60/3 and that equals 20 x=20
You would add up all of the numbers and then divide them by 5 since you have a total of 5 different sets of numbers (To get the mean). Then you have to find the median by putting all of the numbers in numerical order and get the number in the middle. Finally you subtract the median from the mean and you end up getting “B” as your answer.
Let the three numbers be x, y, and z.
If the sum of the three numbers is 3, then x+y+z=3
If subtracting the second number from the sum of the first and third numbers gives 9, then x+z-y=9
If subtracting the third number from the sum of the first and second numbers gives -5, then x+y-z=-5
This forms the system of equations:
[1] x+y+z=3
[2] x-y+z=9
[3] x+y-z=-5
First, to find y, let's take do [1]-[2]:
x+y+z=3
-x+y-z=-9
2y=-6
y=-3
Then, to find z, let's do [1]-[3]:
x+y+z=3
-x+-y+z=5
2z=8
z=4
Now that you have y and z, plug them into [1] to find x:
x+y+z=3
x-3+4=3
x=2
So the three numbers are 2,-3, and 4.
