Answer:

x = 0, x = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

x / 4 = x² / (x + 2)

x = 4x² / (x + 2)

x * (x + 2) = 4x²

x² + 2x = 4x²

3x² - 2x = 0

x(3x - 2) = 0

x = 0, x = 2/3

Answer:

x=0, 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

x/4 = x^2 /(x+2)

Using cross products

4x^2 = x(x+2)

Distribute

4x^2 = x^2 +2x

Subtract x^2 from each side

3x^2 = 2x

Subtract 2x from each side

3x^2 -2x =0

Factor out x

x(3x-2) =0

Using the zero product property

x=0   3x-2 =0

x=0   3x=2

x=0   x= 2/3

Check

x=0

0/4 = 0^2 /(0+2)

0 = 0

Check

x=2/3

(2/3)/4 = (2/3)^2 /((2/3)+2)

1/6 = (4/9)/ (8/3)

1/6 = 4/9 * 3/8

1/6 = 4/8 *3/9

1/6 = 1/6

Both solutions are valid

From the graph shown we can describe the distribution as follows:
Majority of the data points are to the right of the mean, this implies that the median is greater than the mean of the data, thus we can conclude that the correct answer is:
