<h3>Answer: 120</h3>

=============================================

Explanation:

S = sum of the first four values

S/4 = 70 since we divide the sum by 4 to get the mean of the first four values

S = 280 is the result after multiplying both sides by 4

Let x be the fifth unknown value. Adding it onto S leads to S+x = 280+x. This represents the sum of all five values.

Dividing that sum 280+x over 5 leads to the new mean 80, which leads to...

----------

(280+x)/5 = 80

280+x = 5*80

x+280 = 400

x = 400-280

x = 120

The fifth number is 120

Write the equation of the line with an x-intercept at (0,2) and perpendicular to 3x+4y=12.
juin [17]

First you normalize 3x+4y=12 into y = -3/4 x + 3 (dividing by 4).

Then you observe that the slope of the line is -3/4 (it's always the factor with the x). A perpendicular line has the reciprocal slope. Reciprocal means inverted and negated. So -3/4 becomes +4/3.

The equation will thus look like y = 4/3 x + b. To find b, we fill in the given x intercept (0,2), (we get 2 = 4/3 * 0 + b). With x=0, b must be 2.

So the equation is: y = 4/3 x + 2

a rectangle swimming pool is 4 ft deep. one side of the pool is 2.5 times longer than the other. the amount of water needed to f
mojhsa [17]

Find the are of the pool by dividing the volume by the depth:

1960 / 4 = 490

The pool is 490 square feet.


Area is found by multiplying the length by the width.

Let the width = X

We are told the length is 2.5X ( 2.5 times longer)


So we now have 2.5x * x = 490


2.5x * x = 2.5x^2


Now we have 2.5x^2 = 490


Divide both sides by 2.5:

x^2 = 490/2.5

x^2 = 196

find X by taking the square root of 196:

x = √196

x = 14


The width is 14 feet

The length is 2.5 * 14 = 35 feet
