Okay, let's slightly generalize this

Average of n numbers is a

and then r numbers are removed, and you're asked to find the sum of these r numbers.

Solution:

If average of n numbers is a then the sum of all these numbers is n\cdot a

Now we remove r numbers, so we're left with (n-r) numbers. and their. average will be {\text{sum of these } (n-r) \text{ numbers} \over (n-r)} let's call this new average a^{\prime}

For simplicity, say, sum of these r numbers, which are removed is denoted by x .

so the new average is \frac{\text{Sum of } n \text{ numbers} - x}{n-r}=a^{\prime}

or, \frac{n\cdot a -x}{n-r}=a^{\prime}

Simplify the equation, and solve for x to get,

x= n\cdot a -a^{\prime}(n-r)=n(a-a^{\prime})+ra^{\prime}

Hope you understand it :)

Answer:

The removed number is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the average of 5 numbers is 7. So you have to find the total values of 5 numbers :

let \: x = total \: values

\frac{x}{5}  = 7

x = 7 \times 5

x = 35

Assuming that the total values of 5 numbers is 35. Next, we have to find the <u>r</u><u>e</u><u>m</u><u>o</u><u>v</u><u>e</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>n</u><u>u</u><u>m</u><u>b</u><u>e</u><u>r</u> :

let \: y = removed \: number

\frac{35 - y}{4}  = 6

35 - y = 6 \times 4

35 - y = 24

35 - 24 = y

y = 11

The answer is A, the equation shows a proportional relationship because the graph shows a straight line. However, it is not DIRECTLY proportional as it does not pass through the origin.

Given that the two triangles are similar, solve for x if AU = 20x + 108, UB = 273, BC = 703, UV = 444, AV = 372 and AC = 589.
777dan777 [17]

If two triangles are similar then the corresponding sides are in proportion. Thus,

AB / AU = BC / UV = AC / AV

AB / (20x+108) = 703 / 444

Where AB is equivalent to:

AB = AU + UB

AB = 20x + 108 + 273

AB = 20x + 381

Therefore going back to the first equation:

(20x + 381) / (20x + 108) = 703/444

444 (20x + 381) = 703 (20x + 108)

8880x + 169164 = 14060x + 75924

14060x - 8880x = 169164 – 75924

5180 x = 93240

x = 93240 / 5180
