Answer:

Bag 1: 20

Bag 2: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount taken out of bag 2

Then the amount left in each bag can be written as:

Bag 1: 50-3x

Bag 2: 50-x

Since we know that half of bag 2 is bag 1, that gives us:

50-3x = 1/2(50-x)

-> 50-3x = 25-x/2

Now lets isolate x and solve:

25 = 5x/2

-> 50 = 5x

-> x = 10

So plug x bag in for the original equations:

Bag 1: 50-3x = 50-3(10) = 20

Bag 2: 50-x = 50-10 = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

the general line equation format is

y = ax + b

a is the slope or gradient of the line. it is the ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change".

b is the y-intercept, the y value when x = 0. we get this by putting one point into the equation and solve for b.

(i)

A (3, 5)

B (5, 9)

x changes by +2 (from 3 to 5).

y changes by +4 (from 5 to 9).

so, the slope (or gradient) is +4/+2 = 2

(ii)

the semi-finished equation is

y = 2x + b

let's use A to get b :

5 = 2×3 + b = 6 + b

b = -1

and the full equation is

y = 2x - 1

(iii)

for point (4, k) we get

k = 2×4 - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7

So, to find the mean they added up the scores from 20 seasons and divided by 20, the number of seasons to get an average score of 10.4.

10.4 = (x1 +x2 +x3 ... +x20 )/20

Then;

10.4*(20) = (x1 +x2 +x3 ... +x20 )

208 = sum of the first 20 seasons

We want to add one more number in there, the 21st season with a score of 14. Add the 14 to the sum of the first 20 seasons and then divide by 21, the new number of seasons you're averaging.

Mean = (208+14)/21

Answer

= 10.6
