Let's the name the first number x and the consecutive number x + 1. The sum of both of these numbers equals to 53.

We now have our equation:

x + x + 1 = 53

Now solve for x.

x + x + 1 = 53
2x + 1 = 53 <-- Combine like terms
2x = 52 <-- Subtract 1 from each side
x = 26

So, the first number is 26 and the second number is 27.

The sum of the measures of a pair of alternate angles of two parallel lines is 210°. What are the measures of these two angles?

aniked [119]

The answer is 105 and 105 because they did not tell you that one had more than the other, so it's equal. Plus, it could not be 210 or over or 0 or less. It was spilt up equally between both alternate angles, and the lines are parallel, so the angles are equal. So just do 210/2 and get what one of the angles would be. Great question!

Oliver has 3 times as many rocks in his collection as Katie. Then Oliver collected 75 more rocks and Katie collected 105 more ro

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Katie had 15 rocks and Oliver 45 rocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditions

Katie has x amount of rocks

Oliver has 3x amount of rocks

The final amount of rocks

Oliver = 3x + 75

Katie = x + 105

Now, they have the same amount of rocks, then we can equal both equations

3x + 75 = x + 105

Solve for x

3x - x = 105 - 75

2x = 30

x = 30/2

x = 15

Conclusions

At first Katie had 15 rocks and Oliver had 3(15) = 45 rocks

Suppose that six individuals are interested in taking part in a study relating BMI to a number of health outcomes. The following

posledela

Answer:

a) Mean = 27.65

Median = 27.645

b) Relative Frequency = 33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:

25.78, 21.06, 36.54, 29.51, 18.96, 34.05

a) Mean and Median

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{165.9}{6} = 27.65$

$Median:\\\text{If n is odd, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{n+1}{2}th ~term \\\\\text{If n is even, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{\frac{n}{2}th~term + (\frac{n}{2}+1)th~term}{2}$
