The outlier is 20
it affect the mean because
1)32 +40+34+ 31 +20+ 36 +40+31=264
2) 264 divided by 8= 33
so it gives you an odd number
Answer:
x = 50
Step-by-step explanation:
When two secants intersect in the interior of a circle, the angles formed are the average of the arc an angle and its vertical intercept. In this case, our angle, 73, should be the average of x and 96. We can translate this to an equation and solve:

x + 96 = 146
x = 50
The answer is the second option you are correct !
Answer:
The question is not so clear and complete
Step-by-step explanation:
But for questions like this, since the equation has been given, what is expected is for us to make comparison, compare the RHS with the LHS or by method of comparing coefficients.
We follow the stated conditions since we are told that b and c are both integers which are greater than 1 and b is less than the product of cb. from these conditions, we can compare and get the values of b , c and d.
Another approach is to assume values, make assumptions with the stated conditions, however, our assumptions must be valid and correct if we substitute the assumed values of b, c and d in the equation, it must arrive at the same answer for the RHS. i.e LHS = RHS
