They are not. The easiest way to tell this is by multiplying the last number of each parenthesis together. This should always result in the last number in the equation. However, -8*5 does not equal -30, so these are not the true factors.
2x-4+4x-1=8x-43
-2x=-38
x=19
so QS=2(2*19-4)=68
Answer:

Step-by-step
The mean absolute deviation of a set of data is the average distance between each data value and the mean.
1. Find the mean.
2. Find the distance between each data value and the mean. That is, find the absolute value of the difference between each data value and the mean.
3. Find the average of those differences.
Answer:
Luis will pay for three gloves and four bats = $ 270
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the bats be represented by b and gloves by g, then according to the given conditions
3b+ g= $135----equation 1
b+ 2g= $135------equation 2
Subtracting equation 2 from eq. 1 gives
3b+ g= $135----equation 1
<u>-b -2g= -$135------equation 2</u>
<u>2b -g = 0 --------- equation3</u>
2b-g= 0
or 2b= g------ equation4
This means price of 2 bats is equal to price of 1 glove.
Putting value of g in eq. 1 from eq. 4
3b+ 2b= $ 135
5b= $135
b= 135/5= 27
Price of 1 bat = $ 27 and price of 1 glove= 2*27= $54
Luis will pay for three gloves and four bats
= 54*3 + 4*27
= 162+ 108
= $ 270
