The librarian was checking the thicknesses of several books and found that the average thickness of a book was 1.8 centimeters.

She found this by averaging the thicknesses of five different books. Four of the thicknesses were 1.4 cm, 1.9 cm, 2.1 cm, and 2.4 cm. What was the thickness of the fifth book that she measured?

Answer:

1.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1.8 * 5 = 9

9 - (1.4 + 1.9 + 2.1 + 2.4) = 1.2

1.2 + 1.4 + 1.9 + 2.1 + 2.4 = 9

9/5 = 1.8

Description:

This will be no solution because when we add 10 to both sides of the equation then simplify it. After that we will subtract 6 from both sides. It will give us no solution. For more info please see the attachment.

Answer: No solution

Hope this helps.

x = total amount of gumballs

let's start subtracting the balls she's giving away

\stackrel{total}{x}-\stackrel{\textit{to jaysen}}{\cfrac{x}{2}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{what's left}}{\cfrac{x}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{half of what's left to Marinda}}{\cfrac{~~ \frac{x}{2}~~}{2}\implies \cfrac{x}{4}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{what was left minus Marinda's}}{\cfrac{x}{2}-\cfrac{x}{4}\implies \stackrel{\textit{what's left}}{\cfrac{x}{4}}}~\hfill ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{a third of what's left to Zack}}{\cfrac{~~ \frac{x}{4}~~}{3}\implies \cfrac{x}{12}}

\stackrel{\textit{what was left minus Zack's}}{\cfrac{x}{4}-\cfrac{x}{12}\implies \stackrel{\textit{what's left}}{\cfrac{x}{6}}}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{her sister gets 5 balls of what's left}}{ \cfrac{x}{6}-5 }

and we also know that after all that has been subtracted, she's only left with 5, so we can say that

\stackrel{\textit{what's finally left}}{\cfrac{x}{6}-5}~~ = ~~\stackrel{\textit{what's finally left}}{5}\implies \cfrac{x}{6}=10\implies \boxed{x = 60}
