Answer:
b.
Step-by-step explanation:
Stem is the first digit and the leaf is the last digit.
Below the table is explained that 1 l 7 is 1.7 because it also could mean 17. So with that clear the terms from the Stem l Leaf are as follow:
1 combined with 3, 7 and 7:
1.3, 1.7 and 1.7
2 combined with 6, 8 and 8:
2.6, 2.8, 2.8
3 combined with 5 and 7:
3.5 and 3.7
All the terms:
1.3, 1.7, 1.7, 2.6, 2.8, 2.8, 3.5, 3.7
The average is found by adding the numbers and dividing by 2.
Since the average is 17, the total of the two numbers must equal 17 x 2 = 34.
One number is given as 11, so subtract 11 from 34:
34 - 11 = 23
The other number is 23.
Too check: add 11 and 23 and then divide by 2:
11 + 23 = 34
34/2 = 17.
Hello there!
Yes, your solution is correct! A way to check it is replacing the value you found for x into x in the equation.
3(2-x) = 7 - 4x ⇒ 3(2-1) = 7 - 4(1)
And now solve 3(2-1) = 7 - 4(1).
3(1) = 7 - 4(1)
3 = 7 - 4
3 = 3
Since it is a true statement that 3 is equal to 3, it means your solution of x = 1 is correct. Good job! :)
