Answer:

The rule is:

T(x) = 8x + 20

Explanation:

We are given that:

The rule for the amount that one friend pays is:

C(x) = 2x + 5

Now, we know that:

Each of the four friends will pay the entry fee which is $5 per person

The 4 friends will play the same number of games represented by x

This means that:

We can simply get the rule for the total amount to be paid by the four friends (T(x)) by multiplying the amount paid by each friend by 4

This means that:

T(x) = 4 * C(x)

T(x) = 4(2x + 5)

T(x) = 8x + 20

Hope this helps :)

Three fourths a number plus 8 is 20 less than the number

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Equation: $\frac{3}{4}n+8=n-20$

Solve for n: n = 112

Step-by-step explanation:

To first set up the equation, you need to look at the verbal description and translate into numbers and operations:

'three fourths a number' = $\frac{3}{4} n$

'plus 8' = + 8

'is' =

'20 less' = - 20

'the number' = n

Put the expressions together:

'three fourths a number plus 8': $\frac{3}{4}n+8$

'20 less than the number': n - 20

Set them equal to each other and solve: $\frac{3}{4}n+8=n-20$

Add 20 to both sides: $\frac{3}{4}n+8+20=n-20+20$

Subtract $\frac{3}{4}n$ from both sides: $\frac{3}{4}n-\frac{3}{4}n+28=n-\frac{3}{4}n$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{4}{1}$ : $\frac{4}{1}28=\frac{1}{4}n\frac{4}{1}$

Solve for n: n = 112

I Need Help With Statistics

Answer: Choice A) mean, there are no outliers

Have a look at the image attached below. I made two dotplots for the data points. The blue points represent bakery A. The red points represent bakery B. For any bakery, the points are fairly close together. There is no point that is off on its own. So there are no outliers, making the mean a good choice for the center. If there were outliers, then the median is a better choice. The mean is greatly affected by outliers, while the median is not.
