8. 3x-4>38
3x>38+4
3x>42
x>42/3
x>14
So the answer is A. x>14
9. It's A. Two less than four times a number is 12. Because 4x (four times) and also it says 2 less than 4 times a number...
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Brittany paints the room in x hours, completing 1/x of the room per hour.
Ashley paints the room in x+2 hours, completing 1/(x+2) of the room per hour.
Working together, they complete 1/x + 1/(x+2) = ⅐ of the room per hour.
7(x+2) + 7x = x(x+2)
14x + 15 = x^2 + 2x
x^2 - 12x - 15 = 0
x = [12 ±√(12²+60)]/2= 6±√51
6-√51 is an extraneous solution.
x = 6+√51 ≈ 13.14
Brittany paints the room in 12.14 hours
Its mean and range . Even if we remove 70 the median is the same. The mean changes also as 580/7 isnt the same as 510/6 and also the range changes as it decreases by 5. Hope it helped :)
