The mean is calculated by adding up all of the given numbers and dividing by the number of numbers.

Lets, for ease of understanding, say that the first three number were 64...

Mean=(64+64+64)/3=192/3=64

Now, lets solve for the mean where 'x' is the unknown fourth number and 128 is the mean. (since, the answer said that when the fourth number was added the mean, 64, was doubled '64*2=128')

128=(64+64+64+x)/4
128=(192+x)/4
Multiply both sides by 4
512=192+x
subtract 192 from both sides
320=x

The missing number is 320..


Now lets double check our work.

Mean=(64+64+64+320)/4=512/4=128

Answer=320

This is how i got the answer which is 16:

so first of all, if the mean is 64 then, u divide the 64/2 and u will get 32 so 32 + 32 would give u 64 but u wanna get the fourth number which 16 so then, u divide 32/2 which gets u the number 16 and then if u add up 16 + 16 + 16 + 16 = 64 so now 16 is the fourth number.

im sincerely sorry cuz i didn't know any other way to explain it but i hope this is correct!! :)

Is this thesis OK for my schizophrenia essay? Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness that deeply affects the patient's daily l
sattari [20]
I don't know how many paragraphs your professor needs you to develop, but if your essay consists on just 3 paragraphs (introduction, body and conclusion) your thesis is OK.
Now, if your essay needs to have, lets say 4 or 5 paragraphs (introduction, body 1, body 2, body 3, and conclusion) I'd recommend you to add two more details to your essay. For example,

Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness that deeply affects not only the patient's daily life, but also his family and friends.

paragraph 1 is to develop how schizophrenia affects the patient daily life only. Paragraph 2 is to develop how schizophrenia affects the patient's family and paragraph 3 to develop how it affects his or her family.

Don't forget to put examples, professors love when you put examples.
Good luck, and if you need help, you can ask me.

Please plot this linear equation on a graph, and also explain how to plot it. <br> <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D3x-7" i
olasank [31]

Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! I hope you are having a nice day.

We can solve this equation in a single step, we just need a bit of theory and a graph.

We can first see that its in y=mx+b form. Which is also known as Slope-Intercept form.

This means that we know the following.

  • b is the y coordinate of the y intercept.
  • m is the slope of the line.

Since we know that, we can see that from our equation that the slope of the line is 3 and the y intercept is (0,-7).

Now that we've gotten that, we can start graphing.

The y intercept is -7 so we can plot (0,-7) as one of our points.

The slope of 3 means that we got up 3 units then right a single unit.

Therefore, another point could be (1,-4).

With our two points, we can create our graph by creating a straight line through those two points and therefore plotting our line.

Cheers!
