The answer is 24. Because there are 6 number in the set (including x) the product of the avg. (22) and the amount of numbers (6) should equal what the total of the sum of number, so you should end up with an equation like this: x+20+17+18+24+29=132. If you combine the like terms you get: x+108=132. Subtract 132 from both sides to make the equation equal to x and you get x=24

Answer:

Therefore, x = 24 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The average of six numbers is 22. The numbers are 20,17,18,24,29 and x

To find : Find x.

Solution : We have given The average of six numbers is 22.

$mean = \frac{20+17+18+24+29+x}{6}$ .

Mean = 22

$22 = \frac{108+x}{6}$ .

On multiplying both sides by 6

22 *6 = 108 + x .

132 = 108 + x

On subtracting both sides by 108.

132 -108 = x

24 = x .

Therefore, x = 24 .

When y=2 and y=5

1. 2y-1 and (3y-5+y or 4y-5)
when y=2 ; 2(2)-1 = 3 and 4(2)-5=3
when y=5 ; 2(5)-1 = 9 and 4(5)-5=15

----nonequivalent-----

2.5y+4 and (7y+4-2y or 5y+4)
so you don't have to place any value in because 5y+4 and 7y+4-2y are equal,
whatever you place any value in, it will be all the same then

-----equivalent------

and no need to find more

What is the equation of a line that passes through (-2,1) and is parallel to y=3x-4

Rama09 [41]

If a line is parallel to another, the slopes of both lines are the same. So for this problem, you can infer that the slope of the line you're trying to find is 3.

To find the actual equation of the line, you can use the given coordinates and plug them into the point slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

plug the given y coordinate into y1 and the given x coordinate into x1. m is the slope, so plug in 3 for m.

y - 1 = 3(x +2) Use distributive property for right side of equation

y - 1 = 3x + 6 add 1 to both sides to cancel -1 on left side of equation and isolate y

Equation of line: y = 3x + 7
