How do you distribute 2(x + 5)

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

2x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

to distribute you take the number on the outside of the parenthesis and multiply it with the individual values inside the parenthesis. So first you would multiply 2 times X which gives you 2x then 2 times 5 which gives you 10, then your answer would be 2x+10

The average heights of x number of girls and 15 boys is 123. if the average heights of boys is 125 and that of girls is 120.find

Answer:

$x = 10$ . In other words, there number of girls is $10$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of a number of measurements is equal to the sum of these measurements over the number of measurements.

$\displaystyle \text{Average} = \frac{\text{Sum of measurements}}{\text{Number of measurements}}$ .

Rewrite to obtain:

$\begin{aligned}& \text{Sum of measurements}= (\text{Number of measurements}) \times (\text{Average}) \end{aligned}$ .

For this question:

$\begin{aligned}& \text{Sum of heights of boys} \\ &= (\text{Number of boys}) \times (\text{Average height of boys}) \\ &= 15 \times 125 = 1875\end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned}& \text{Sum of heights of girls} \\ &= (\text{Number of girls}) \times (\text{Average height of girls}) \\ &= x \times 120 = 120\, x\end{aligned}$ .

Therefore:

$\begin{aligned}& \text{Sum of boys and girls} \\ &= \text{Sum of heights of boys} + \text{Sum of heights of girls}\\ &= 1875 + 120\, x\end{aligned}$ .

On the other hand, there are $(15 + x)$ boys and girls in total. Using the formula for average:

$\begin{aligned}& \text{Average height of boys and girls} \\ &= \frac{\text{Sum of heights of boys and girls}}{\text{Number of boys and girls}} \\ &= \frac{1875 + 120\, x}{15 + x}\end{aligned}$ .
