Hey, can anyone help me with this? Okay, so in the equation 10 + 3x= -17 . The answer or (x) = -9 because you minus 10 on both s

ides then, you add 17 + 10 and get -27 then you have to divide and 3 and 4 cross out, and 21 divided by 3 is -9. Can someone please tell me why you add for the -17 part in the equation !!!

Answer:

You do -17 + -10 inorder to change the operation used because both negatives does not mathematically look nice.

Step-by-step explanation:

To isolate the unknown, we need to move all the numbers on one side of the equal sign and all the unknow variables on one side.

Here we move 10 on the other side by taking away 10 both sides

10 + 3x = -17

-10 -10

then we are left with only 3x on one side and -27 on the other side because -17 - -10 = -27 , in this case it is acknowledge to change the operation from minus to add because the two minus are together, so we say -17 + -10 .

3x = -27

/3 /3

x = -9

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

10,000 nickles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 40 nickles in a roll and you have 250, think that you have 250 sets of 40. This means that this question is a multiplication problem.

Multiply 40 x 250. This would give you 10,000.

What is the median of the following string of values?<br> 55, 18, 58, 49, 8, 77, 62, 26, 7.11
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The answer is 49 if we are to assume you meant 7.11 and not 7,11.

If you meant 7,11 - the answer is 28.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are assuming you meant "7,11" and not "7.11", then we would start by removing the lowest and highest numbers from the list respectively, and repeating the process until you only have 1 or 2 numbers left.

Here are the pairs of numbers removed if we are assuming you meant 7.11;

7.11 / 77

8 / 62

18 / 58

26 / 55

We are left with 49, and that would be your median.

However, if we were to assume you meant 7,11, then we'd have to start over and repeat the process.

7 / 77

8 / 62

11 / 58

18 / 55

26 / 49 is our final answer; however we are not to assume this as we need a definite number. To resolve this, we would need to average the two numbers. To do this, we add them together and divide by how many numbers we added.

26 + 49 = 75.

75 / 2 = 28.5

Your median for this would be 28.5.

Hope this helps! Have a great rest of your day. :)
