Hello!

Let's find the mean of our two average weights!

4.3+3.4=7.7
7.7/2=3.85

Therefore, the average weight of the 15 items is 3.85 pounds.

I hope this helps!

Since the average is the sum divided by the count, the sum is the average times the count.

So the sum of the weights of the watermelons is 10(4.3)=43 pounds.

The sum of the weights of the pumpkins are 5(3.4)=17 pounds

The sum of the weight of the fruits is 43+17=60 pounds

Dividing by 15 fruits gives an average item weight of 60/15 = 4 pounds

15. $\frac{x}{5} - g = a$

Add "g" on both sides

$\frac{x}{5} = a +g$

Multiply 5 on both sides to get x by itself

x = 5(a + g)

x = 5a + 5g

18. a = 3n + 1

Subtract 1 on both sides

a - 1 = 3n

Divide 3 on both sides to get n by itself

$\frac{a - 1}{3} = \frac{a}{3} -\frac{1}{3}$ = n

21. M = T - R

Add "R" on both sides to get "T" by itself

M + R = T

24. 5p + 9c = p

Subtract "5p" on both sides

9c = p - 5p

9c = -4p

Divide 9 on both sides to get "c" by itself

c = $\frac{-4p}{9}$ or c = $\frac{-4}{9} p$

27. 4y + 3x = 5

Subtract "4y" on both sides

3x = 5 - 4y

Divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself

x = $\frac{5-4y}{3}$

x = $\frac{5}{3} -\frac{4y}{3}$

Answer:

The slope is m=2.5 $/movie

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the graph could be found using any two points $(x_{1} ,y_{1} )$ y $(x_{2} ,y_{2} )$ and the equation for slope of a line, which is

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

So, we select the points $(12,35)$ y $(22,60)$ , and we replace the values in the equation for slope,

$m=\frac{60-35}{22-12}=2.5$

And in this case, represents the cost to rent one movie.

Find the length of x. help please !

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Use CPCTC (Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent).

Set the ratios:

$\frac{6.5}{5} = \frac{6.5 + 6.5}{x}$

First, simplify. Combine like terms:

$\frac{6.5}{5} = \frac{13}{x}$

Next, cross multiply.

$5 * x * \frac{6.5}{5} = \frac{13}{x} * x * 5\\x * 6.5 = 13 * 5\\6.5x = 65\\$

Isolate the variable, x. Divide 6.5 from both sides of the equation:

$\frac{(6.5x)}{6.5} = \frac{(65)}{6.5} \\\\x = \frac{65}{6.5}\\x = 10$

Check:

$\frac{5}{6.5} = \frac{x}{13}$

Plug in 10 for x (Your answer). Cross multiply, then simplify:

$\frac{5}{6.5} = \frac{10}{13}$

$13 * 6.5 * \frac{5}{6.5} = \frac{10}{13} * 13 * 6.5$

$13 * 5 = 10 * 6.5$

$65 = 65$ (True).
