Answer:

-7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Put all the numbers in order (least to greatest)

-20, -15, -12, -10, -9, -6, -4, 14, 18, 18

Find the number in the middle

-9 and -6

Add -9 and -6 together and divide by 2 to get median.

What is wrong with the following proof? Clearly we know that 1 does not equal 2. What rule of algebra did we break that makes th

Gnoma [55]

An attempt to divide by zero gives a contradictory result

A rule of algebra broken is <u>dividing by zero</u> (leading to a contradiction) and stating a finite result

Reason:

The given calculation is presented as follows;

1. a > 0, b > 0 given

2. a = b given

3. a·b = b²

4. a·b - a² = b² - a²

5. a·(b - a) = (b + a)·(b - a)

6. a = b + a

7. 0 = b

8. b = 2·b

9. 1 = 2

From line 4, the result are;

4. a·b - a² = b² - a² = 0

5. a·(b - a) = (b + a)·(b - a) = 0

On line 6, both sides where divided by (b - a) = 0, which should given an infinite result

Therefore, one rule of algebra broken is dividing by zero to get a finite result

In line 7, we have;

7. 0 = b

From 6. a = b + a, and a = b, we have;

8. b = 2·b

Therefore, line 9 should be;

9. 0 = 2·0; 0 = 0, given that we have;

1 × 0 = 0

2 × 0 = 0

∴ 1 × 0 = 2 × 0

However

1 ≠ 2

In line 9., by dividing by b = 0, again, we have;

9. 1 = 2 (a contradiction)

Therefore, one rule of algebra that is broken is <u>dividing by zero</u> and having a finite result

What is the value of x?

Mariulka [41]

Answer: x = 7

`Step-by-step explanation:

Because the figure shows two triangles that are similar. we can write and solve an equation of ratios:

9 cm 72 cm

----------- = -----------

3x - 20 56 cm

Cross-multiplying, we get (3x - 20)(72 cm) = (9 cm)(56 cm) = 504 cm²

Dividing both sides by 72 cm, we get:

3x - 20 = (504 cm²) / (72 cm) = 7

Then 3x - 20 = 7, and 3x = 27. Then x must be 9.

Best Buy is displaying 15 laptops for a big store sale. The laptops include 6 identical Dells, 4 identical Chromebooks, and 5

Alchen [17]

Answer:

630,630 different arrangements are possible for the given laptops.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of laptops = n = 15

Number of identical Dell laptops = 6

Number of identical Chromebooks = 4

Number of identical Mackbooks = 5

We have to find in how many ways can the laptops be arranged. Number of arrangement of objects is calculated using Permutations as the order of objects matter during the arrangement. The formula to calculate the number of possible arrangements when there are similar objects is given as:

$\frac{n!}{a!b!c!...}$

Here n is the total number of objects and a,b, and c represent the number of identical objects. Using the given values we get:

$\frac{15!}{6!4!5!} = 630630$

This means 630,630 different arrangements are possible for the given laptops.
