$12 + $12 + $13 + $13 + $13 + $17 + $17 + $17 + $17 + $17 = 148
148 ÷ 10 = 14.8
$14.80 is the median amount the ten friends had to pay.
That is dependent because it is changing.independent stays the same
Step 1. Simplify
7x^2 - 8x - 4 - 2x^2 + 3x + 5 + 5x^2 - 10x - 8
Step 2. Collect like terms
(7x^2 - 2x^2 + 5x^2) + (-8x + 3x - 10x) + (-4 + 5 - 8)
Step 3. Simplify
10x^2 - 15x - 7
We write it out as an equation:
-1 = -2v + 2/3
Rearrange:
-1 -2/3 = -2v
Multiply by negative to equal positive
1 2/3 = 2v
Make 1 into a fraction
3/3 + 2/3 = 2v
5/3 = 2v
10/6 = 2v
5/6 = v
The answer is: v equals 5/6
