Five times a number is 28 greater than the product of the number and -2. Find the number

Mathematics

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x

Five times the number is expressed as 5x  

28 greater than the product of the number and -2 is expressed as;

28 + (-2x)

Equating both expressions

5x = 28 + (-2x)

5x = 28 - 2x

5x+2x = 28

7x = 28

x = 28/7

x = 4

Hence the number is 4

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Add each sample separately

A.17   B. 47   C. 39 D. 52 E. 45

Then you add them all together which totals 200 sick days

We know that they surveyed 5 schools and 10 students at random from each one. So we want to know the mean of sick days the students took not the schools in all.

So we divide 200/50

And get a mean of 4.

So each student took an average of 4 sick days each in the country.
