Answer:

  • x = 5, y = 7, z = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let the numbers be x, y and z</u>

  • x + y + z = 24
  • 2y = z + 2
  • z = x + y

<u>Solving by substitution:</u>

  • x + y + z = z + z = 24
  • 2z = 24
  • z = 12

  • 2y = z + 2
  • 2y = 12 + 2
  • 2y = 14
  • y = 7

  • z = x + y
  • x = z - y
  • x = 12 - 7 = 5

<u>The answer:</u>

  • x = 5, y = 7, z = 12

What measure of center best represents the data set?
inysia [295]
I feel like it would be mean or median, because there is no outlier, making it so that all of the numbers are closely put together.

Put the set into order.

25, 26, 27, 28, 29

So, we know that this is all in order, making it so that we know for sure that there is no outlier. 

If you find the mean, it'll represent the data nicely. 

We know that both the mean and median represent the data set nicely, because it just does. It's one of those things that are extremely painful and hard to fully explain and have someone understand, but don't worry, it makes sense.

So, it can't just be the mean only or the median only.

It also can't be the mode only, because THERE IS NO MODE! 

So, our final answer is mean or median :)

Answer:

15x² - 3x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

(12x² + 2x) - (-3x²+ 5x + 7)

First open the parentheses by applying the distributive property.

To do this, multiply each term you have inside (-3x⅔ + 5x + 7) by -1.

Thus, you would have the following:

12x² + 2x + 3x² - 5x - 7

Add like terms

12x² + 3x² + 2x - 5x - 7

15x² - 3x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:
