The answer is -5 isjsjshsj
Answer: The mean is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
If you add all of the numbers and divide by how much numbers there are (8), then you get 5. Then the mean absolute deviation is the number away from the mean.
So I will put the mean absolute deviation in order of the numbers
4 (1 away from mean), 3 (2 away from the mean), 4( 1 away from the mean), 5 (same number as the mean), 6 (1 away from the mean), 6(1 away from mean), 8 (3 away from mean), and, finally another 4 (1 away)
Hope this helps :)
One way in which to approach this problem would be to treat it as an equation of ratios and to cross multiply:
<span>[(4x + 15) / 5x)] = 1/2 could be written as:
4x + 15 1
----------- = ---
5x 2
Then 8x + 30 = 5x
3x = -30, and so x = -10 (answer). Be certain to check this answer through substitution!

For this case we have the following system of equations:
We multiply the first equation by -1:
We have the following equivalent system:
We add the equations:
Equality is not fulfilled, so the system of equations has no solution.
