Answer:
x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the area of a square is length times width.
We also know that a quadratic can be factored:
(x - 3)²
So if each side is (x - 3), then when we do length times width, we get x² - 6x + 9. So our answer is choice D.
The mean is calculated by adding up all of the given numbers and dividing by the number of numbers.
Lets, for ease of understanding, say that the first three number were 64...
Mean=(64+64+64)/3=192/3=64
Now, lets solve for the mean where 'x' is the unknown fourth number and 128 is the mean. (since, the answer said that when the fourth number was added the mean, 64, was doubled '64*2=128')
128=(64+64+64+x)/4
128=(192+x)/4
Multiply both sides by 4
512=192+x
subtract 192 from both sides
320=x
The missing number is 320..
Now lets double check our work.
Mean=(64+64+64+320)/4=512/4=128
Answer=320
You can answer this problem in two different ways: the first being (17 - 5) * x, and the second being 12 * x.
