Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll note the numbers as $x_{n}, x_{n+1} ...$

$x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 = 20\\Avg = 5\\\frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 + x_5 }{5} = 6 = \frac{20 + x_5}{5}\\ 4 + \frac{x_5}{5} = 6\\\\frac{x_5}{5} = 2\\\x_5 = 10$

Answer:

10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of the 5 numbers =

(20 + x) / 5 = 6 where x is the 5th number.

20 + x = 30

x = 10

The fifth number is 10.

One number is 8 more than another number, and their sum is 20. Find the numbers.

melomori [17]

Answer:

First number=6

Second number=14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x

So the second number is x+8

So the sum of the two is

X+x+8=20

2x+8=20

2x=20-8

2x=12

X=12/2

The second number will x+8

So 6+8=14

First number=6

Second number=14

Arturiano [62]

In mathematics, polygons are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the ratio of their corresponding sides are in proportion.

Once we know that triangles (or any polygons) are similar, we also know some additional facts about the figures.
