Answer:x=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6-x=1/2

5/6+-x=1/2

-x+5/6=1/2

Step 2: Subtract 5/6 from both sides.

-x+5/6-5/6=1/2-5/6

-x=-1/3

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

-x/-1=-1/3/3

X=1/3

Hope this helps

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6-?=1/2 so convert 1/2 into sixths so

5/6-?=1/2(3/3) so

5/6-?=3/6 (multiply both sides by 6)

5-5(?)=3 (add 6(?) to both sides)

5=3+6(?) (subtract 3 from both sides)

2=6(?) (divide by 6)

?=2/6 or

1/3

R 3. The mean of 4 numbers is 8. Three of the numbers add up to 22. What is the last number?

statuscvo [17]

<h2><em><u>Solution</u></em> : </h2>

let the last number be x

we know,

$\boxed{mean = \frac{sum \: \: of \: \: all \: \: observations}{number \: \: of \: \: observations} }$

So,

$\hookrightarrow \: 8 = \dfrac{22 + x}{4}$

$\hookrightarrow \: 8 \times 4 = 22 + x$

$\hookrightarrow \: 32 = 22 + x$

$\hookrightarrow \: x = 32 - 22$

$\hookrightarrow \: x = 10$

therefore, the last number is 10.
