Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Median - The middle number in a set a data

First, you need to list the numbers least, on the left, to greatest, on the right.

3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 8, 8

Once you have done this, you can follow these steps.

Cross off the lowest number. Cross off the highest number. Repeat until there is one or two numbers left.

3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 8

4, 5, 5, 5, 6

5, 5, 5

Since there is one number left, that is the median. In case of there being two numbers left, you add them together. Then divide by 2 and that would be your median

(1/27)^x-6=27 Could I please have a step by step as well? Much appreciated!

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

$x = 7$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Use Division Distributive Property: (x/y)^a = x^a/y^a.

$\frac{1}{ {27}^{x - 8} } = 27$

2) Multiply both sides by 27^x - 8.

$1 = {27} \times 27^{1 + x - 8}$

3) Use the product rule: x^a x^b = x^a+b.

$1 = {27}^{1 + x - 8}$

4) Simplify 1 + x - 8 to x - 7.

$1 = {27}^{x - 7}$

5) Use Definition of Common Logarithm: b^a = x if and only if logb (x) = a.

$log_{27}1 = x - 7$

6) Use Change of Base Rule.

$\frac{ log_1 }{ log{27} } = x - 7$

7) Use rule of 1: log 1 = 0.

$\frac{0}{ log_{27}} = x - 7$

8) Simplify 0/log_27 to 0.

$0 = x - 7$

9) Add 7 to both sides.

$7 = x$

10) Switch sides.

$x = 7$

Therefor, the answer is x = 7.

Suppose you budgeted $2800 for fuel expenses for the year. How many miles could you drive if gas were $2.70 per gallon and your

Julli [10]

Answer:

29037.036 miles

Step-by-step explanation

There are two possible ways to solve this problem.

The first option starts with the $2800 dollars for the years. You first want to divide this by $2.70, because it will give you the amount of gallons of gas you can buy with that money.

2800/2.70 = 1037.037

This means you can buy 1037.037 gallons of gas in the year. Now you need to convert this to miles by multiplying by the amount of miles per gallon.

1037.037 x 28 = 29037.036 gallons

The second way to look at this is dimensional analysis. If you have learned this, then continue on reading this, but if you haven't I might only confuse you. I only suggest this because it can make it a little easier.

For the dimensional analysis, you need to start with what you are given and move to what you need to know, so you will start with the $2800 dollars and move to gallons. $2.70 per gallon and 28 miles per gallon are your conversion factors.

Set it up like this:

$2800 dollars * \frac{1 gallon}{2.70 dollars} * \frac{28 miles}{1 gallon} = 29037.036 miles$

This allows the equation to be more organized, and you can check your work by canceling the units.

Hope this helps.
