Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the left side:
5x - 20 = 3x + 4
Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation:
2x - 20 = 4
Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation:
2x = 24
Divide each term by 2 and simplify:
x = 12
Answer: b. 125
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the square roots of each, and if the square root is a decimal, it is not a perfect square.
Square root of 81: 9
Square root of 49: 7
Square root of 100: 10
That leaves 125.
This is a backup question it would be great to state what question 3 was please
(a)
Q1, the first quartile, 25th percentile, is greater than or equal to 1/4 of the points. It's in the first bar so we can estimate Q1=5. In reality the bar includes values from 0 to 9 or 10 (not clear which) and has around 37% of the points so we might estimate Q1 a bit higher as it's 2/3 of the points, say Q1=7.
The median is bigger than half the points. First bar is 37%, next is 22%, so its about halfway in the second bar, median=15
Third bar is 11%, so 70% so far. Four bar is 5%, so we're at the right end of the fourth bar for Q3, the third quartile, 75th percentile, say Q3=40
b
When the data is heavily skewed left like it is here, the median tends to be lower than the mean. The 5% of the data from 80 to 120 averages around 100 so adds 5 to the mean, and 8% of the data from the 60 to 80 adds another 5.6, 15% of the data from 40 to 60 adds about 7.5, plus the rest, so the mean is gonna be way bigger than the median of around 15.
