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

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Its the first choice. Width:9 Length:13

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length is 4 meter more than the width than that means whatever the width is you must add 4 to it, in this case the width is 9 so add 4 to it which equals 13. If the length matches your answer it is the correct choice.

Amlyah increased her bench press
NikAS [45]
<h3>Answer:  20% increase</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

A = old value = 110

B = new value = 132

C = percent change

C = 100*(B-A)/A

C = 100*(132-110)/110

C = 20%

The positive C value means we have a percent increase, which corresponds to the fact that A = 110 increases to B = 132.

The B-A = 132-110 = 22 portion up top indicates that the increase is 22 pounds, which when divided over 110, gets us 22/110 = 0.20 = 20%

---------------

Checking the answer:

20% of 110 = 0.20*110 = 22

She's able to lift 22 extra pounds on top of the 110 pounds she can handle previously, so she can now lift 110+22 = 132 pounds. The answer is confirmed.
