Answer:
x=−4/5 or x=−3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Factor left side of equation.
(5x+4)(x+3)=0
Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.
5x+4=0 or x+3=0
x=−4/5 or x=−3
The opposite number closest to negative five is positive 5
Before outlier : 7.25
After outlier : 4
7.25 - 4 = 3.25
So the mean decreases by 3.25 when the outlier is removed.
