Answer:
a rhombus that is the answer
I think it’s 96. That’s what I got.
Plug 4 in for every x
(3*4)-4=8
(4^2)-1=15 [(4^2) is 4*4]
(2*(4^2))-15= 15 [because of PEMDAS the exponent comes first and then multiply by 2 then subtract]
Perimeter is the sum of the lengths so add up all the sides from above
8+15+15=38
Let
x------> amount of pounds of apples
y------> amount of pounds of oranges
z-----> amount of pounds of peaches
we know that
x+y+z=127------> equation 1
x=4z-----> equation 2
y=7+z----> equation 3
substitute equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1
x+y+z=127----> (4z)+(7+z)+z=127---> 6z=127-7---> 6z=120----> z=20 lb
x=4z---> x=4*20----> x=80 lb
y=7+z----> y=7+20---> y=27 lb
amount of pounds of apples----> 80 lb
amount of pounds of oranges----> 27 lb
amount of pounds of peaches---> 20 lb
This question is easier than it seems. If there are 9 consecutive integers with the mean being 16, then 16 must be the median. So just add four on top and four below 16 to give you your range of 9 values, 12-20. 12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19+20=144, 144/9=16. So the mean of the first four numbers is (12+13+14+15)/4= 13.5. If you check, 13.5 is also the median of these four numbers.
