“The sum of half a number and 12 is 6”

Mathematics
2 answers:
lianna [129]3 years ago

<u>Solution</u> :

Let, the number be A

Given, A/2 + 12 = 6

⇒ (A + 24)/2 = 6

⇒ A + 24 = 12

⇒ A = 12 - 24

⇒ A = - 12

∴ the required number is (- 12). (Ans.)

Answer:

x=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose,

The number = x

half a number=1/2 x=x/2

The sum of half a number and 12 is 6

x/2 + 12=6

x/2=6-12

x/2=-6

x=-12

a bag contains 10 white gold balls and 6 striped golf balls. a golfer wants to add 112 golf balls to the bag. he wants the ratio
wolverine [178]

Answer:70 white golf balls and 42 striped golf balls

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the ratio of white to striped balls

White golf balls = 10

Striped golf balls = 6

Ratio = 10/6 = 5/3

We are told a golfer wants to add extra 112 balls to the already 16 balls

And the ratio after adding 112 balls must stay the same

First we label the extra golf balls to be added x and y

x = white golf balls

y = striped golf balls

So since we know the 112 balls added is a combination of the extra white golf balls and striped golf balls, we create an equation for that, labelling it (1)

x + y = 112 (1)

And we are told that after putting these extra balls the ratio must remain the same, which is 5/3

which will be (10 white balls + x) divided by (6 striped ball + y) will be equals to 5/3

So we create another equation for this, labelling it (2)

(10+x)/(6+y) = 5/3 (2)

So we have two simultaneous equations

We pick (1)

x + y = 112

We either make x or y the subject of formula, I choose to make x the subject of formula, we label the equation (3)

take y to the other side, causing it to change to -y

x = 112 - y (3)

We then work with (2)

(10+x)/(6+y) = 5/3

We cross multiply

3(10+x) = 5(6+y)

We open the brackets

Making the equation simplified and labelling it (4)

30 +3x = 30 + 5y

Collect like terms

3x -5y = 30-30

3x -5y = 0 (4)

Remember from (3) we know that

x = 112 -y

So we put (3) in (4)

3(112 - y) - 5y = 0

Open bracket

336 -3y -5y =0

336 -8y = 0

Transfer -8y to the other side, changing to +8y

336 = 8y

Divide both sides by 8

336/8 = y

42 = y

y = 42

from (3) we know that x equals 112 - y

So we put y = 42 in (3)

x = 112 - y

x = 112 -42 = 70

x = 70

So therefore number of white golfs balls and striped golfs balls to be added to keep the same ratio is 70 and 42 respectively

2. Consider the following dot plot and answer the following questions : A. Find the measures of central tendency Construct the B
zubka84 [21]

The measures of central tendency for this data set are as follows:

  1. Mean = 3.55.
  2. Median = 3.5.
  3. Mode = 3.

<h3>How to calculate measures of central tendency?</h3>

In Mathematics, there are three (3) main measures of central tendency and these include the following:

  • Mean
  • Median
  • Mode

For the mean, we have:

Mathematically, the mean for this data set would be calculated by using this formula:

Mean = [F(x)]/n

For the total number of data, we have:

F(x) = 0 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 7

F(x) = 71

Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have:

Mean = [F(x)]/n

Mean = 71/20

Mean = 3.55.

For the median, we have:

First of all, we would order the data from lowest to highest and then determine the median as follows:

Data = {0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3,} 3, 4, {4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7}

Median = {3 + 4}/2

Median = 7/2

Median = 3.5.

<h3>How to calculate the mode?</h3>

A mode refers to the most frequently occurring number in a data set. Thus, the mode for this data set is equal to 3.

In conclusion, a box plot of the measures of central tendency for this data set is shown in the image attached below.
