Let the first number be = x

Then the second number = 2x

The third number = 2x - 5

Their sum = 55

This can be written in an equation as =

x + 2x + 2x - 5 = 55

= x + 2x + 2x = 55 + 5 ( transposing -5 from LHS to RHS changes -5 to +5 )

= x + 2x + 2x = 60

= 5x = 60

= x = 60 ÷ 5 ( transposing ×5 from LHS to RHS changes ×5 to ÷5 )

= x = 12

The first number = x = 12

The second number = 2x = 2 × 20 = 24

The third number = 2x - 5 = 24 - 5 = 19

Therefore , the three numbers are 12 , 24 and 19 .

A baker recorded the number of batches of
azamat

Answer:

B. The lower extreme increased.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the original box and whisker plot, the lower extreme (minimum) is 5 ; The upper extreme, maximum is 15.

The number of batches baked on the eight day is 20. This exceeds tbe previous maximum value. Hence, upper extreme( maximum) value of the new plot will change from 15 to 20.

The lower extreme isn't affected as the obtained value isn't below 5.

The median value will Increase and the upper quartile value will also increase. Once the upper quartile value increases, the interquartile range will also increase
