Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

2(x + 4) = x - 1

Solution

2x + 8 = x - 1                Subtract x from both sides

2x-x + 8 = - 1                Combine the left

x + 8 = - 1                     Subtract 8 from both sides

x + 8-8 = - 1-8

x = - 9

Check

<em>LHS</em>

2(-9 + 4)

2(- 5)

-10

<em>RHS</em>

-9 - 1

- 10

The first quartile of the dataset {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} is _______. (give your answer as a whole number.
notsponge [240]

The first quartile of the dataset {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} is 2.

Given data set: {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Median of the given data set =3.5

The data set can be split into 2 parts as, {1,2,3} and {4,5,6}. The first quartile is calculated by simply finding the median of the first part of the data set.

Thus, the first quartile is 2.

The quarter divides the distribution into four groups and calculates the range of values above and below the mean.

A quartile separates the dataset into four categories by dividing the data into three points: the lowest, median, and upper quartiles.

The interquartile range, a measurement of variation around the median, is calculated using quartiles.

4 times the quantity of a number decreased by one is the same as two more than the same number. Find the number
Yanka [14]
The hard part is just making sense of what they are asking for.

4 times the quantity of a number decreased by one is just the expression:

4 * (x-1)

Where "x" is our mystery number.

Two more than the same number is just:

x + 2

Where "x" is our same mystery number.

They say that these two expressions are the same, so just set them equal to each other.

4*(x-1) = x+2

4x - 4 = x +2

3x -4 = 2

3x = 6

x = 2

The mystery number is 2.  Plug in 2  and you will see that it works!
