Given:
First side(A): 2B - 7
Second side(B): B
Third side(C): B + 4
Plug in values:
A + B + C = 80
2B - 7 + B + B + 4 = 80
If you look at the coefficients only, you can rewrite the equation like this:
2B + B + B - 7 + 4 = 80
This means that 4B - 7 + 4 = 80
=4B - 3 = 80
= 4B = 80 + 3
B = 83/4, so you can either write B as 83/4 or as 20.75.
Checking your work:
A: 2(20.75) - 7 = 34.5
B: 20.75
C: 4 + 20.75 = 24.75
34.5 + 20.75 + 24.75 = 80cm.
Hope this helped.
Answer:
B 2124
D 1416
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the ratio
A B C D Total
3 6 8 4 21 (3+6+8+4 = 21)
B gets 6 out of every 21 items
Take that fraction times the total items
6/21 * 7434 = 2124
D gets 4 out of every 21 items
Take that fraction times the total items
4/21 * 7434 = 1416
Answer: The median score will remain the same at 91.
Step-by-step explanation: The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers and can be more descriptive of that data set than the average. Write all of the numbers and cross out a even amount of numbers on both sides. Image 1 shows the problem with original numbers. Image 2 shows problem with new numbers
