The method that is not correct is brandon's method.
First you convert kilograms to pounds,
1 kilogram = 2.205 pounds
next you times the number of pounds per kilogram by the number of kilograms given that need to be turned into pounds.
80 times 2.205 = 176.4
next you subtract to get the answer
176.4 - 135= 41.4
so Ms. Johnson weighs 41.4 pounds less than herr husband
Using the geometric mean concept, it is found that the value of a is 18.
----------------------
The geometric mean, of a data-set of n elements,
, is given by:
![G = \sqrt[n]{n_1 \times n_2 \times ... \times n_n}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=G%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bn_1%20%5Ctimes%20n_2%20%5Ctimes%20...%20%5Ctimes%20n_n%7D)
That is, the nth root of the multiplication of all elements.
----------------------
In this question:
- Two elements(n = 2), a and 34.

Thus:

We find the square of each side, so:


Simplifying both sides by 17:



The value of a is 18.
