<span>
2(5+c)=3(5-c)
solve for c
10+2c=15-3c
5c=5
c=1</span>

The mean score on a set of 17 test is 72. Suppose two more students take the test and score 68 and 63. What is the new mean?

Masja [62]

Answer:

New mean=71.32

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression for the total initial score is;

T=M×S

where;

T=total initial score

M=mean score

S=number in the set

replacing;

T=unknown

M=72

S=17

replacing;

T=72×17=1,224

The total initial score=1,224

Determine the total score by;

total score=total initial score+total final score

where;

total initial score=1,224

total final score=(68+63)=131

replacing;

total score=1,224+131=1,355

Determine the new mean;

New mean=total score/new number

where;

total score=1,355

new number=(17+2)=19

replacing;

new mean=1,355/19=71.32

Kayla wants to find the width, AB, of a river. She walks along the edge of the river 65 ft and marks point C. Then she walks 25

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Part A) The triangles ABC and EDC are similar by AAA, because the three internal angles are equal in both triangles

Part B) The width of the river is about $39\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are congruent

Part A) we know that

In this problem , triangles ABC and CDE are similar by AAA, because its corresponding angles are congruent

so

m<DCE=m<ACB -----> by vertical angles

m<EDC=m<ABC -----> is a right angle

m<DEC=m<CAB -----> the sum of the internal angles must be equal to 180 degrees

Part B) we know that

The triangles ABC and EDC are similar -------> see Part A

therefore

$\frac{BC}{DC}=\frac{AB}{DE}$

substitute the values and solve for AB

$\frac{65}{25}=\frac{AB}{15}$

$AB=15*(\frac{65}{25})=39\ ft$
