Answer:

The age of the person who entered the room is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Ages of 5 people in a room are:

17, 16, 15, 17, 22

A person enters room, and then the mean age of 6 people is 17.

We need to find the age of person who entered the room.

The formula to calculate mean is: Mean=\frac{Sum\:of\:all\:data\:values}{Number\:of\:data\:Values}

Now, in question we are given mean of 6 people that is 17

The age of 5 people are given while age of one person who enters the room is unknown.

Let age of person whose age is unknown= x

Now finding x using mean formula

Mean=\frac{Sum\:of\:all\:data\:values}{Number\:of\:data\:Values}\\17=\frac{17+16+ 15+ 17+ 22+x}{6}\\17=\frac{87+x}{6}\\17*6=87+x\\102=87+x\\x=102-87\\x=15

So, The value of x: x=15

Hence, the age of the person who entered the room is 15

The length of a rectangle is 2 feet more than 5 its width. The perimeter is 52 feet. Find the dimension of the rectangle
Ber [7]

Answer: The length is 22 feet. The width is 4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation: Create an equation for the length: 2+5w=52.

Now combine the two sides to get 4+10w=52. Plug in some numbers that seem reasonable. I started with 4, checked my work and found that it was right. This problem is all about trial and error.

So, 4+10(4)= 44. Make sure to remember the width, so add 4 for each side: 44+8. 44+8=52. Hope this helps :)

Solve using substitution or elimination.<br><br> y = x + 1<br> 2x - 5y = 4
andrew-mc [135]

Substitute y = x + 1 into 2x - 5y = 4

-3x - 5 = 4

Solve for x in -3x - 5 = 4

x = -3

Substitute x = -3 into y = x + 1

y = -2

Therefore,

<u>x = -3</u>

<u>y = -2</u>
