the answer to your question is c. -25
The average of 4, 9, 16, 25 and x is 2x means that;
(4+9+16+25+x)/5=2x
Multiply both side by 5
5(54+x)/5=2x(5)
54+x=10x
Subtract x to both side
54+x-x=10x-x
54=9x
Divided 9 to both side
54/9=9x/9
x=6
Check:
Substitute x with 6
(4+9+16+25+x)/5=2x
(4+9+16+25+6)/5=2(6)
60/5=12
12=12; so x=6 which marks B as the correct answer. Have a nice day!
Answer:
The expression: x + 3x + (3x-5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so x is the amount of $ spent. And three times means 3x, and 5 less on entertainment is 3x - 5. So put the expression together and you get x + 3x + (3x-5). Now plug in 10 for x so 10+3(10) + (3(10) -5).
B. $30
C. $25
D. $65
