The person on top is correct
Therefore,DE=4y-8=4*6-8=16
And ,BE=y+10=6+10=16
=>BD=DE+EB=16+16=32
Hope This helps u...!!
The mean is calculated by adding up all of the given numbers and dividing by the number of numbers.
Lets, for ease of understanding, say that the first three number were 64...
Mean=(64+64+64)/3=192/3=64
Now, lets solve for the mean where 'x' is the unknown fourth number and 128 is the mean. (since, the answer said that when the fourth number was added the mean, 64, was doubled '64*2=128')
128=(64+64+64+x)/4
128=(192+x)/4
Multiply both sides by 4
512=192+x
subtract 192 from both sides
320=x
The missing number is 320..
Now lets double check our work.
Mean=(64+64+64+320)/4=512/4=128
Answer=320
Answer:
cups
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A baker is using a cookie that calls for 2
cups of flour to yield 36 cookies.
To find the number of flour will the baker need to make 90 cookies, we form a proportion.
Let's convert 2
to improper fraction.

Let "x" be the amount flour to make 90 cookies
<u>Amount of Flour</u> <u>Number of cookies</u>
36
x 90
Now form a proportion.

Now let's cross multiply, we get


Now let's simplify the fraction part, Here the GCF of 90 and 144 is 18, so dividing the fraction's numerator and the denominator by 18, we get
x =
cups
So the baker needs
cups to make 90 cookies.
