Answer:
B or D would be the best options for this question
That would be 8. first parenthesis, then multiply, then subtract.
A=20
5a-4=3a+36 (subtract 3a from both sides and add 4 to both sides)
2a=40. Divide 40by 2
A=20
Answer:
Mean=8.8, Median=8
Step-by-step explanation:
How to find the mean:
First, add all the #'s up. 4+9+12+14+7+7=53
Then divide that by the number or numbers. In this case it is 6.
53/6=8.833... So rounded=8.8
Median:
List numbers lowest to highest
4, 7, 7, 9, 12, 14
Go to the middle number.
Since it is between 7 and 9, it is 7+9=16. 16/2=8
8 is the median
Median = middle number
Total ten numbers so
median = (17 + b)/2
given median = 18
so
(17 + b)/ 2 = 18
17+b = 36
b = 36 - 17
b = 19
Now you have the data set
7, a , 12, 15 , 17, 19, 20, 22, 24 , 25
Mean = (7 + a + 12+ 15 +17 + 19 + 20 + 22 +24 +25)/ 10
Given mean = 17
so
17 = (7 + a + 12+ 15 +17 + 19 + 20 + 22 +24 +25)/ 10
17 = (a + 161) / 10
a + 161 = 170
a = 170 - 161
a = 9
answer
a = 9
b = 19
