"Will is twice as old as Jill."

                       Jill's age . . . . .   J
                       Will's age . . . . 2J .

"Three years ago . . .

                       Jill's age then . . . . .   J - 3
                       Will's age then . . . . 2J - 3

". . . Jill's age then was 2/5 of Will's age then."

                                         J - 3  =  (2/5) (2J - 3)
Multiply
each side by  5 :          5J - 15  =  2 (2J - 3)

Divide
each side by  2 :          2.5 J - 7.5  =  2J - 3 

Subtract  2J
from each side:            0.5 J - 7.5  =      -3

Add  7.5
to each side:                0.5 J           =     4.5

Multiply
each side by  2 :                J            =       9

Jill is  9  y.o. now.
Will is 18 y.o. now.

Ok so mean means average so exmple
mean of 1,2,3+5 would be (1+2+3+5)/4
(sum of terms)/(number of terms)=mean so

number of terms=5 since 5 oranges
sum=(46+39+53+61+49)

so mean=(46+39+53+61+49)/5=248/5=49.6

so the answer would be 49.6 (estimateed to be 50)

What's the answer? Plz explain.
STALIN [3.7K]

To find the solutions to the system, we need to find exactly when one expression is equal to the other. We can do this by setting both of the right sides equal to each other, so that


(x-5)(x+6)=x+6


Subtracting x+6 from either side, we find


(x-5)(x+6)-(x+6)=0


factoring out an x+6:


(x+6)(x-5-1)=(x+6)(x-6)=0


x=\pm6


The x-coordinates of our solutions will therefore be 6 and -6. Since the question only asks for the <em>x-coordinate</em> of the midpoint, we simply need to find the number exactly halfway between 6 and -6, which is 0.
