<h3>Answer:  15.7 meters</h3>

========================================================

Work Shown:

s = sum of the heights of buildings A,B,C

s/3 = mean of the heights of buildings A,B,C

s/3 = 14.2

s = 3*14.2

s = 42.6

The buildings A,B,C have their heights add up to 42.6

--------------

r = sum of the heights of buildings A,B,C,D,E

r/5 = mean of the heights of buildings A,B,C,D,E

r/5 = 14.8

r = 5*14.8

r = 74

--------------

r-s = (sum of heights of A,B,C,D,E)-(sum of heights of A,B,C)

r-s = sum of the heights of buildings D and E

r-s = 74-42.6

r-s = 31.4

(r-s)/2 = mean height of buildings D and E

(r-s)/2 = 31.4/2

(r-s)/2 = 15.7 meters is the average height of buildings D and E.

(Please don't steal points ;-; TY!!!!)Communative property and distrubutive of:
omeli [17]

Answer: okay sure!

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, a binary operation is commutative if changing the order of the operands does not change the result. It is a fundamental property of many binary operations, and many mathematical proofs depend on it.

The distributive property tells us how to solve expressions in the form of a(b + c). The distributive property is sometimes called the distributive law of multiplication and division. ... Then we need to remember to multiply first, before doing the addition!

What is the formula for the distance between a line and a point on a graph?
erma4kov [3.2K]
The length of the new line, between the given point and the newly-found intersection point, is the distance between the point and the original line. To find the distance, subtract the x and y values to get the x and y displacements. Therefore, there is no specific equation!

Answer: 0.25g<2.50.... g<10

Step-by-step explanation: Let us say that the number of gumballs bought is represented by the variable g. In this case, the question is asking how many gumballs can be bought without surpassing the price of $2.50. We know that each gumball is $0.25, therefore the number of gumballs we buy times $0.25 has to be less than $2.50. Hence, the inequality would be 0.25g<2.50. If we were to solve this then g<2.50/0.25-----> g<10. In conclusion, the number of gumballs you can buy has to be less than 10. Thank you!

If the sum of a number and seven is tripled, the result is three less than twice the number. Find the number
hram777 [196]

Answer:

x = -24

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 7) = 2x - 3

3 * x = 3x

3 * 7 = 21

3x + 21 = 2x - 3

-21            -21

3x = 2x -24

-2x   -2x

x = -24
