Answer:

Let X be the number of weeks.

2x - 16 = 14

we add 16 on both sides.

2x = 30

now we divide 2 on both sides to get rid of the 2 to the x, we want to get x on its own.

X = 15

Here are two sets of numbers, a and b. Set a :200,104,100,160. Set b: 270,400,483,300, x. Mean of set a: mean of set b= 3:8. Wor

Given:

The given sets are:

Set a : 200, 104, 100, 160.

Set b: 270, 400, 483, 300, x.

Mean of set a: mean of set b= 3:8

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

Formula for mean:

$Mean=\dfrac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observation}}$

The mean of set of a is:

$Mean=\dfrac{200+104+100+160}{4}$

$Mean=\dfrac{564}{4}$

$Mean=141$

The mean of set of b is:

$Mean=\dfrac{270+400+483+300+x}{5}$

$Mean=\dfrac{1453+x}{5}$

It is given that,

Mean of set a: mean of set b= 3:8

$\dfrac{141}{\dfrac{1453+x}{5}}=\dfrac{3}{8}$

$\dfrac{705}{1453+x}=\dfrac{3}{8}$

$8\times 705=3\times (1453+x)$

$5640=4359
+3x$

Isolate the variable x.

$5640-4359
=3x$

$1281
=3x$

Divide both sides by 3.

$\dfrac{1281}{3}
=x$

$427
=x$

Therefore, the value of x is 427.

Answer:

136 general admission tickets were purchased, and 300 upper reserved tickets were purchased.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of general admission tickets purchased.

y is the number of reserved tickets purchased.

There were 436 tickets purchased for a major league baseball game.

This means that $x + y = 436$ , or also, $x = 436-y$

The general admission tickets cost $6.50 and the upper reserved tickets cost $8.00. The total amount of money spent was $3284.00.

This means that $6.5x + 8y = 3284$ . Since $x = 436-y$

$6.5(436-y) + 8y = 3284$

$1.5y = 450$

$y = \frac{450}{1.5}$

$y = 300$

And:

$x = 436 - y = 436 - 300 = 136$

136 general admission tickets were purchased, and 300 upper reserved tickets were purchased.
