22.5 (shower) = X (variable used in place of the amount of water she uses to wash clothes) - 7.5 (the amount she used in the shower is 7.5 gallons less than she uses for washing clothes)

22.5 = X - 7.5 《 This is the equation.

Solve is by adding 7.5 to both sides to cancel out the negative 7.5 and you get (X = 30).

Write an exponential function in the form y = ab that goes through points (0,19)<br>and (5,4617).​
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

y = 1/2 (2)x

     Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation y = abx , substitute both of your given points into that equation.

2 = ab2 and 4 = ab3   Solve each equation for a.

2⁄b2    and 4⁄b3 = a     Therefore, 2⁄b2 = 4⁄b3

                             

Cross multiply: 2b3 = 4b2     Divide both sides by b2

2b = 4      a = 2/4 = 1/2

b = 2

Explain when the median of a data set is a better measure of center than the mean.
shusha [124]
With data, you can have outliers. Outliers are values that do not follow what the range or majority of the data you collected so a value of 45, 42, 45, 48, 42, 44, 88, the mean will obviously be different because the 88 is going to change the whole data. But, if you put it from least to greatest, you can see what the majority of data is, (what the middle value is) to see what is in the middle range of what you have collect- the outliers don't affect what you have. Hence, 42, 42, 44, 45, 45, 88 (it's not much data) but it can show what the majority of data is. Hope this helps :> :)

Annette [7]

Answer:

D) 6x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

6 : 2 = 8 : x  

=> x = 8/(6/2 )  

=> x = 8/3  

=> 6x = (8/3) * 6 = 8 * 2 = 16
