Find the mean of the following 2x-5y,5x+2y,8x+6y,x-y
1 answer:
Answer: 4x + 0.5y
Step-by-step explanation:
Concept:
Here, we need to understand the idea of the mean (average).
The "mean" is the "average" you're used to, where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers.
If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.
Solve:
**Disclaimer** I assume the question is asking for the arithmetic mean instead of geometric. If it was, then you can refer to my answers. If it was not, then you can point it out and I will redo the question.
Terms: 2x-5y, 5x+2y, 8x+6y, x-y
Number of terms: 4
[(2x-5y) + (5x+2y) + (8x+6y) + (x-y)] / 4
=[2x + 5x + 8x + x + 2y - 5y + 6y - y] / 4
=[16x + 2y] / 4
=4x + 0.5y
Hope this helps!! :)

By using the properties of parallel lines, it can be inferred that -
Corrosponding angle goes in the place of first question mark and substitution property of equality goes in the place of second question mark.
What are parallel lines?
Two lines are said to be parallel if on extending them indefinitely, they will never intersect
Transversal is a line that intersects two or more parallel lines
For the first question mark
[Corrosponding angle]
For the second question mark
[Substitution property of equality]
