Answer:

x=28

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming the mean is arithmetic mean. So we first add up the numbers:

6+10+12+18+16+x

=22+10+30+x

=22+40+x

=62+x

Then since there's 6 numbers in total, we have an equation:

$\frac{62+x}{6}=15\\62+x=90\\x=28$

The answer is 28!

Have a nice day! :)

You bike 1 mile the first day of your training, 1.3 miles the second day, 1.9 miles the third day, and 3.1 miles the fourth d

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

19.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have:

$d_1=1 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 1st day

$d_2=1.3 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 2nd day

$d_3=1.9 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 3rd day

$d_4=3.1 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 4th day

We notice that the difference between the distance travelled on the (n+1)-th day and the distance travelled on the n-th day doubles every day. In fact:

$d_2-d_1=0.3\\d_3-d_2=2\cdot 0.3 = 0.6\\d_4-d_3=2\cdot 0.6 = 1.2$

Which can be rewritten using the general formula:

$d_{n+1}-d_n=2(d_n-d_{n-1})$

This means that

$d_{n+1}=d_n+2(d_n-d_{n-1})$

By applying this formula recursively, we can find the 7th term, which is the distance travelled on the 7th day:

$d_1=1\\d_2=1.3\\d_3=1.9\\d_4=3.1\\d_5=3.1+2\cdot 1.2=5.5\\d_6=5.5+2\cdot 2.4=10.3\\d_7=10.3+2\cdot 4.8=19.9 mi$

So, the distance travelled on the 7th day is 19.9 miles.

Find the slope of the line that passes through (6, 7) and (2, 10). and simplify if needed thx guys.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

$-\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation for finding the slope of a line when given two points is $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ , aka the change in y over the change in x.

pick one of your coordinate pairs to be $y_2\\$ and $x_2$ . it doesn't matter which coordinate pair you choose as long as you keep them as $y_2\\$ and $x_2$ . the remaining coordinate pair will be $y_1$ and $x_1$ .

for this example, i'll use (2, 10) for $y_2\\$ and $x_2$ and (6, 7) for $y_1$ and $x_1$ .

**before i begin, i just want to note that you can do these next four steps in any order that you want. i personally prefer to plug in my y-values first and then my x-values, but you can choose to instead plug in the values of each coordinate pair (like starting by plugging in the coordinate pair (2, 10) with 10 for $y_2\\$ and 2 for $x_2$ ). it's up to you. i'm going to explain the steps by plugging in my y-values first and then my x-values because that's the way i normally do it.

first, start by plugging in the y-value from the coordinate pair of your choosing in for $y_2\\$ . since i chose (2, 10) for $y_2\\$ and $x_2$ , i'll plug in 10 for $y_2\\$ .

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ⇒ $\frac{10-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
