1) 1/3x - 2/3 = -18
2) 1/3x - 2/3 + 2/3 = -18 + 2/3
3) 1/3x = -54/3 + 2/3
4) 1/3x = -52/3
5) (1/3x) divided by 1/3 = -52/3 divided by 1/3
6) x = -52/3 x 3/1
7) x = -52

A set of a thousand numbers has a mean of zero.

Alona [7]

We want to find the mean of two elements in a set, given that we know the other elements of the set and the mean of the whole set.

The answer is: -490

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

For a set with N elements {x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ} the mean is given by:

$M = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n}{N}$

Here we know that:

The mean of the set is 0.
The set has 1000 elements.
998 of these elements are ones, the other two are A and B.

We want to find the mean of the values of A and B.

First, we can start by writing the equation for the mean:

$\frac{1 + 1 + 1 + ... A + B}{1000} = 0$

We can rewrite this as:

$1 + 1 + 1 +... + A + B = 0$

And we have 998 ones, then:

$1 + 1 + 1 +... + A + B = 998 + A + B = 0\\\\B = - 998 - A$

Now we have B isolated.

With this, the mean of A and B can be written as:

$\frac{A + B}{2} = \frac{A - 980 - A}{2} = -490$

So we can conclude that the mean of the other two numbers is -490.

How many 1/3 cups of ice cream can you make from 1/7 cup

OlgaM077 [116]

Well first you have to make the denominators equal by finding a common denominator. in this case 21, but whatever you do to the bottom you do to the top. so 1/3 times 7/7 equals 7/21 and 1/7 times 3/3 equals 3/21.

so how many 7/21 cups of ice cream can you make from 3/21 i think about none but remember i could be wrong
