Answer:
Shira: x = 8
Samuel: m = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Shira's mistake was that she subtracted 2 from both sides instead of adding to on both sides.
Correct Solving:
2x - 2 = 14
Add 2 to both sides;
2x = 16
Divide both sides by 2;
x = 8
Samuel's mistake was that when he distributed -2 to 8m and 8 he put the wrong sign for -2 * 8.
Correct Solving:
-2(8m + 8) = -16
Distribute;
-16m - 16 = -16
Add 16 to both sides;
-16m = 0
Divide both sides by -16;
m = 0
Answer:
e = 4796
Step-by-step explanation:
given,
mean of five distinct positive number = 1000
median of the number = 100
100 is median means two number will be less than 100 and two number will be greater than 100.
let five number be
a , b, c, d, e
'e' should be the largest number
As 100 is median so 'c' = 100.
'a' and 'b' should be as small as possible and d should be the number nearest to 100.
As all the number are distinct so the least number be equal to 1 and 2
now d will be equal to 101 (nearest to 100)
now,
sum of the five number = 5 x 1000 = 5000
a + b + c + d + e = 5000
1 + 2 + 100 + 101 + e = 5000
e = 5000 - 204
e = 4796
hence, the largest number will be equal to e = 4796
Answer:
0.09375 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, it is given that Samuel has 3/4 tons of mulch i.e. 0.75 tons of mulch.
Again it is given that Samuel has to spread equally this amount of mulch in 8 square yards of the plot.
Since the mulch is spread uniformly, then we can say that in each square yard of the plot (0.75/8) = 0.09375 tons of mulch is been spread.
Therefore, 0.09375 tons of mulch will be spread in each square yard. (Answer)
