Let "a number" = x

3x - 5 = 40 is the equation you will use.

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, add 5 to both sides

3x - 5 (+5) = 40 (+5)

3x = 40 + 5

3x = 45

Next, to isolate the x, divide 3 from both sides

(3x)/3 = (45)/3

x = 45/3

x = 15

15 is your answer

The number is 15.

40+5 = 45

45/3 = 15

Use the distance that these 9 students skimmer cars traveled in inches to calculate the MIDDLE 50%
laila [671]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  b.  255.5 to 499.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The middle 50% is the range between the first and third quartiles. In this group of 9 numbers, the first quartile is the average of numbers 2 and 3 when the numbers are listed from smallest to largest.

  first quartile = (230 +281)/2 = 255.5 . . . . . . matches answer choice B

The third quartile is the average of numbers 7 and 8:

  third quartile = (468 +531)/2 = 499.5 . . . . .  also matches answer choice B

The middle 50% is 255.5 to 499.5.

_____

When I put the numbers in order, I get ...

  198 230 ^ 281 246 376 426 468 ^ 531 540

^ indicates that the quartile here is the average of the adjacent numbers

bold indicates the median (2nd quartile)

What is the rule for these 2 Problems?
dimaraw [331]

Answer: 1.)  y = x + 11

2.)  y = -2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation: Use the values in the chart to calculate the slope: difference in y-values divided by difference in x-values.

Then take the calculated slope, substitute for <u>m </u>in the point slope form of the equation, choose any pair of values in the chart, substitute for y and x in the equation and solve for b.
