The mean is the average number meaning that it is all the numbers in a set added together and divided by how many number are in the set. In this case there are 4 numbers (16, 3, whatever number x is, and 5). So, to find out what x is, first you multiple 4 by the known mean which is 9.
4 x 9 = 36
Then you simply subtract 36 from all the known numbers to find x.
36 - 16 - 5 - 3 = 12
So x = 12
Answer:
X = 20.6 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean Theorem: 
A = 41.2 in, while B = 35.7 in and we are solving for C.
Now solve for C
Take the square root
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the number of pepper plants, then (x + 6) = the number of tomato plants. Since the ratio of tomatoes to peppers is 5:2, we have the following:
5/2 = (x + 6)/x
2x + 12 = 5x
12 = 3x
4 = x = the number of pepper plants
