William bought a new pair of shorts at the store when they were having a 50% off sale.

A set of data already has the values 11, 14, 23, and 16. What value would have to be added to the set for the mean of the five n

KonstantinChe [14]

1) Take 18 and multiply it by 5 = 90
2) Then subtract 26 = 64
3) Then subtract 18 = 46
4) Then subtract 12 = 34
5) Then subtract 8 = 26

The answer is 26.

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of point C is already positive, so nothing changes.

_____

The absolute value function changes negative numbers to positive ones (by multiplying by -1, or reflecting across the origin of the number line).

Nicole bought six pounds of apples at $1.50 per pound. The store had a discount of $2 off her total purchase. Nicole and her fri

Andru [333]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of apples that Nicole bought was 6 pounds.

Each pound of apple cost $1.50

This means that the total cost of the 6 pounds of apple that Nicole bought would be

6 × 1.5 = $9

The store had a discount of $2 off her total purchase. This means that the amount that was paid is

9 - 2 = $7

If Nicole and her friend then divided the cost of the purchase evenly, let x represent the amount that each of them would pay. Therefore, the expression that can be used to determine how much Nicole and her friend each paid for the apples would be

x = 7/2

Maricella solves for x in the equation 4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+1. She begins by adding –4 + 4 on the left side of the equation an

Elodia [21]

Maricella’s strategy is incorrect as the values added on the left and right side of the equation changes the original equation $4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+1$ to $4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+3$ .

Further explanation:

Maricella begin by adding $-4+4$ on the left side of the equation and $1+1$ on the right side of the equation $4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+1$ .

The value added on the left is equal to zero so it does not change the equation but the value added on the right is 2, a non-zero digit so it changes the equation as shown below.

$4x-2(3x-4)+4-4+4=-x+3(x+1)+1+1+1\\4x-2(3x-4)+4+0=-x+3(x+1)+1+2\\4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+3$

Therefore, the strategy used by Maricella will change the equation and so the solution of the equation will be incorrect.

One way of solving such a linear equation is by adding or subtracting the required value on each side of the equation. and then simplifying the further equation.

Similarly, the other way to solve any linear equation is by separating the variable terms on one side of the equation and constant terms on the other side of the equation.

After this simplify the linear equation to obtain the solution of the equation for $x$ .

Whereas Maricella’s strategy fails to solve the equation $4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+1$ since the values added and subtracted in the equation changes the original equation completely.
