Answer:

  78

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the sum of the 5 numbers, divided by 5:

  µ = (9 + 18 + 27 + 30 + x)/5 = (84 +x)/5 = 16.8 +x/5

The median of a 5-number set will be the middle number. Depending on the value of x, the mean/median may be 18, x, or 27, so we have three possible equations for x.

  16.8 +x/5 = 18

  x/5 = 1.2 . . . . . subtract 16.8

  x = 6 . . . . . . . . multiply by 5

___

  16.8 +x/5 = x

  16.8 = 4/5x . . . . subtract x/5

  21 = x . . . . . . . . . multiply by 5/4

___

  16.8 +x/5 = 27

  x/5 = 10.2 . . . . . . subtract 16.8

  x = 51 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 5

___

The sum of the possible values of x is ...

  sum = 6 + 21 + 51 = 78

Answer:

1.) \frac{5}{4\\}

2.) \frac{4}{3}

3.) 1

4.) \frac{2}{3}

5.) \frac{9}{8}

6.) \frac{7}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 steps for all of these is to get common denominators and then add and simplify.

1.) 3/4 + 1/2 (common denominator) 3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4

2.) 5/6 + 1/2 (common denominator) 5/6 + 3/6 = 4/3

3.) 3/6 + 1/2 (common denominator) 3/6 + 3/6 = 6/6 (simplify) = 1

4.) 1/6 + 4/8 (common denominator) 8/48 + 24/48 =  32/48 (simplify) = 2/3

5.) 7/8 + 1/4 (common denominator) 7/8 + 2/8 = 9/8

6.) 3/8 + 1/2 (common denominator) 3/8 + 4/8 = 7/8
