Answer:

The 8th number is -9

Step-by-step explanation:

With an average, the sum of the seven numbers divided by 7 is 15.

In order to add an 8th number, we set up

\frac{7*15+x}{8}=12\\105 + x = 96\\x = -9\\\\\frac{105-9}{8}=\frac{96}{8}=12

givi [52]

Answer:

since you didn't give us a range, the possibility is infinity as there is no specified number of sides, and that answer doesn't really help. please be more specific in your future questions.

Answer:

15.10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be helpful to draw the figure from the problem statement above. Drawing it, would give you a right triangle shape where the base is equal to 10 ft + 8 ft = 18 ft with the angle of 40 degrees. We use knowledge on trigonometric functions to solve this.

tan (theta) = opposite side / adjacent side

tan 40 = x / 18

x = 15.10 ft

The point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through (–9, –2) and (1, 3) is y – 3 = 1/2 (x – 1). What is the slo
Vinil7 [7]
You just have to simplify that point-slope equation in order to get it into slope-intercept:
y-3= \frac{1}{2} (x-1)
y-3= \frac{1}{2}x- \frac{1}{2}
y= \frac{1}{2} x- \frac{1}{2} +3
y= \frac{1}{2} x- \frac{1}{2} + \frac{6}{2}
y= \frac{1}{2} x+ \frac{5}{2}
