Answer: The value to add to the set is 52

=======================================================

For a moment, ignore the extra value we'll add in later.

The given set of values add to -34.

Let x be the extra value we add in. It adds to the -34 to get -34+x, then we divide by 6 because the set {-4,-10,-16,8,-12,x} has 6 items.

So we get the mean (-34+x)/6

Set this equal to the mean we want (3) and solve for x

(-34+x)/6 = 3

-34+x = 6*3

-34+x = 18

x = 18+34

x = 52

The set {-4,-10,-16,8,-12,x} updates to {-4,-10,-16,8,-12,52} and this set has a mean of 3.

4x - 7 (2 - x) = 3x + 2
juin [17]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x−7(2−x)=3x+2

4x+(−7)(2)+(−7)(−x)=3x+2(Distribute)

4x+−14+7x=3x+2

(4x+7x)+(−14)=3x+2(Combine Like Terms)

11x+−14=3x+2

11x−14=3x+2

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

11x−14−3x=3x+2−3x

8x−14=2

Step 3: Add 14 to both sides.

8x−14+14=2+14

8x=16

Step 4: Divide both sides by 8.

x=2
