Answer:

x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number.

The product of 5 and x increased by 9 is equal to 15 less than 3 times x.

5x + 9 = 3x - 15.

We can isolate x, getting (5-3)x = -15-9

Then we can solve:

2x = -24

x = -12.

umka2103 [35]

The new mean is 66.09

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mean weight of 20 students = 65kg

One student with 88kg entered the room.

New mean = ?

$\frac{x_1+x_2+....+x_2_0}{20} = 65$

$\frac{x_1+x_2+....+x_2_0 + 88}{21} = ?$

The above equation can further be written as:

$x_1 + x_2 +....+x_2_0 = 65 X 20\\\\x_1 + x_2 +....+x_2_0 = 1300$

New mean = $\frac{1300 + 88}{21}$

= 66.09

Therefore, the new mean is 66.09

Anit [1.1K]

No, actually the method is not correct. Adiya needed to take x2 and subtract it from 20x. she would then get 6 = 18x. Have in mind also that she needed to divide 18. So 6 = 18x turns into 6=X. That is why is incorrect
