The mean can be found by adding the two numbers and dividing by 2
let the second number be y
(x + y)/2 = 1/2x + 1
solve for y
multiply each side by 2
x + y = 2(1/2x + 1)
distribute
x + y = x + 2
subtract x on both sides
y = 2
ANSWER: the second number is 2
(4/7) / (3/-8)...when dividing fractions, flip what u r dividing by, then multiply
4/7 * - 8/3 =
- 32/21 <===
BD = 2x-4
But it's also BE - CE + CD
BE is 3x-1
CE is 2x-3
CD is 2
so
BD = 3x-1 -(2x-3) +2
simplified
BD = 1x +4
since BD = BD (obviously), we can also say that the righthand sides of the two equation must be equal
2x -4 = 1x +4
let's solve for x and that put it into either of the 2 equations.
2x -4 = 1x +4
subtract 1x on both sides
x -4 = 4
add 4 on both sides
x = 8
substitute x for its value in 2x -4 = 1x +4
(this way we double check BD in two expressions at once. the equation should come out true, meaning same value for BD in each expression. both sides should be equal).
2*8 -4 = 1*8 +4
12 = 12
seems true
BD is safely 12
Answer:
58.6*14=820.4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this we need to use the PEMDAS strategy, first solve any questions in parentheses, next solve all multiplication and division problems from left to right. Next, solve all addition and subtraction problems from left to right.
36 + (12 - 8) + 2 × 5
36 + 4 + 2 x 5
36 + 4 + 10
40 + 10
50
