It would be a a 6 by 5 inch rectangle, since the height is 6in and the width is 5in. Those are what would make up the cross section.
7(x - 3) + 3(4 - x) = -8
7x - 21 + 12 - 3x = -8
7x - 3x = -8 + 21 - 12
4x = 1
x = 1/4
Its a multiplication by -3 on each term, so I think you're gonna answer is by r=-3, maybe?
Answer:
increase
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to find the mean of the given data set without any change.
10 + 61 + 10 + 44 + 21 + 79 + 27 + 12 = 264
264 ÷ 8 = <u>33</u>
Now that we have the mean, we can find the mean of the data set with the change of 52.
10 + 61 + 10 + 44 + 21 + 79 + 27 + 52 = 304
304 ÷ 8 = <u>38</u>
<u />
From this, we can see that the mean has increased with the change of 12 to 52. Thus, that's the correct option.
hope this helps!
