First set of data:
Mean - 6.5
Absolute deviation - 2.4
Second set of data:
Mean - 4.475
Absolute deviation - 2.275
|x| = x for x ≥ 0
examples:
|3| = 3; |0.56| = 0.56; |102| = 102
|x| = -x for x < 0
examples:
|-3| = -(-3) = 3; |-0.56| = -(-0.56) = 0.56; |-102| = 102

Use PEMDAS:
P Parentheses first
E Exponents (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.)
MD Multiplication and Division (left-to-right)
AS Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)

Put the values of x to the equation of the function h(x):

<span>By similarity of triangles we have the following relationship:</span>
<span> (x) / (6) = (18) / (9)</span>
<span> Simplifying we have:</span>
<span> (x) / (6) = 2</span>
<span> Clearing the value of x we have:</span>
<span><span> x = 6 * 2</span></span>
<span><span> X = 12</span></span>
<span><span> Answer:</span></span>
<span><span> The value of x for this case is equal to:</span></span>
<span><span> <span>X = 12</span></span>

If P=8, Then you would plug in 8 for P.
4(8)-2 = 30
Hope this helps :)
