Answer: 60
Step by Step Explanation:
Let the number be x
So, x-2/3x=20
=> x/1 - 2/3x = 20
=> (3x - 2x)/3 = 20
=> x/3 = 20
=> x= 20*3
=> x=60
Checking if the solution is correct:
So substitute the value of x in x-2/3x=20
As we know x=60
So, => 60 - 2/3*60 = 20
=> 60 - 40 = 20
As 20 = 20
So this answer is correct

Let x be the number.

Set up an equation:

2x - 2/3x = 20

Simplify:

1 1/3x = 20

Divide both sides by 1 1/3

X = 15

The number is 15

Please help I’m really struggling with this
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

y=\frac{1}{3} x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation is written as y=mx+b, "m" being the slope and "b" being the y-intercept.

The slope is how many times you rise/run in order to get from one point on the line to the next. You rise (go up/down) 1 unit and run (go left/right) 3 units. Plug in the numbers and you get 1/3.

The y-intercept is where the graph lands on the y-axis, which is 4.

Pamela called nine repair shops for quotes for auto repairs. The prices are $139, $150, $345, $99, $167, $155, $140, $200, and $
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The prices of quoted of auto repairs are as listed below;

$139, $150, $345, $99, $167, $155, $140, $200.

For her to check whether there is an outlier in the data, she needs to find the mean of the set of data. An outlier is a value in a set of a data that varies considerably from other data in a dataset. It may be larger or smaller than other set of datas. An outlier can affect the decision of a set of data to be analysed if nor taken care of.

From the data, the possible outliers are $99 and $345

Mean of the data = sum of all the prices/sample size

xbar = \sum Xi / N

Xi are individual datas

\sum Xi = $139+$150+$345+$99+$167+$155+$140+$200+$160

\sumXi = $1555

Sample size = 9

Mean = $1555/9

Mean = $172.78

Hence the value that would best represent the central tendency is $177.78
