Answer:
219.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean: Add all numbers together and divide by the amount of numbers
Numbers added together = 2,191
2,191/10 = 219.1
First you distribute. 4 to x-1 and 3 times 2x-5 you should get 4x-4-6x+15 because -3 times -5 is positive 15. Combine like terms 6x-4x is 2x and 15-4 is 11
10 - 2x = 120
120 + 10 = 130
130 / 2 = 65
x = 65
2(65) - 10 = 120
9/200. divide 45 and 1000 both by 5 to reduce it.
Since they are similar, you need to find the ratio of similarity (I made up the term, there is probably a correct one that I can’t remember).
If you divide 16/40, you’ll find that that ratio is 2.5. So then you just multiply 16 x 2.5. You’ll get 18.
18 is the length of the top of the trapezoid.
You set 18=2x+4 and solve it algebraically. Subtract 4 from both sides.
14=2x
Divide by 2 and x=7
(You can also check that the ratio is right by 16/18 is the same decimal value as 40/45. You’ll get .88888...)
