Answer:

According to the angle addition postulate, if B lies on AC, than AB+BC=AC.

We can use this to create this equation.

x+12+2.4=26 Where x+12 is the value of AB and 2.4 is BC.

The next step is to combine like terms, so we add 12 to 2.4 to get

x+14.4=26. When trying to find the value of a variable, you must isolate it. To do this for this equation, we must subtract 14.4 from both sides which will give you.

x=11.6

The average (arithmetic mean) of y numbers is x. if 30 is added to the set of numbers, then the average will be x - 5. what is t

Anastasy [175]

Given,

AM of y numbers = x.

Let the sum of y numbers be s.

AM of y numbers = x

$\frac{s}{y} = x$

$s = y*x$

Given, when 30 is added to the y numbers, the AM becomes x - 5.

$\frac{s + 30}{y + 1} = x - 5$

$\frac{y*x + 30}{y +1} = x - 5
$

$y*x + 30 = (x -5)( y +1)$

$y*x + 30 = y*x + x - 5y -5$

$5y = x - 5 -30 = x - 35
$

$y = \frac{x -35}{5}$

You spent these amounts on natural gas for the past four months: $112, $108, $99, $89. what should you budget for natural gas th

miskamm [114]

If you wanted to compute for your budget for natural gas this month using the data you have recorded about your consumption of natural gas for the past four months, the best estimate to be budgeted this month would be the average consumption for the past 4 months. To get the average, you have to add the four numbers and divide it by four.

$112 + $108 + $99 + $89 = $408/4 = $102

answer

8/25

Step-by-step explanation:

so you would keep the first fraction (2/15) then you would change the symbol then you would flip the other fraction (5/12). then you would multiply 2*12=24 and 15*5=75. then you would simplifie it. it would be 8/25.
