Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 3 = -x + 7
Add x to each side
x+x + 3 = -x+x + 7
2x+3 = 7
Subtract 3 from each side
2x = 7-3
2x = 4
Divide by 2
2x/2 = 4/2
x = 2
Answer:
Option b is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given condition : Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is five times the number.
Here, the number is x
The quotient of a number x and twelve is expressed as , 
Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is expressed as, 
Five times the number mean, 
Therefore, we have an equation in the form of <em>x</em> from the given condition as:
.
Calculate for the mean/ average of the given numbers:
μ = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5) / 5 = 3
Then, we calculate for the summation of the squares of differences of these numbers from the mean, S
S = (1 - 3)² + (2 - 3)² + (3 - 3)² + (4 - 3)² + (5 - 3)²
S = 10
Divide this summation by the number of items and take the square root of the result to get the standard deviation.
SD = sqrt (10 / 5) = sqrt 2
SD = 1.41
Thus, the standard deviation of the given is equal to 1.41.
