The mean of 3,7,8,10 and x is 6 find x​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vaselesa [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is

3 + 7 + 8 + 10 + x

------------------------- = 6

             5

Multiplying both sides by 5, we get:

3 + 7 + 8 + 10 + x = 30

Then 28 + x = 30, so that x must be 2

x = 2

Parker is working two summer jobs, making $11 per hour lifeguarding and $22 per hour tutoring. Last week Parker worked a total o
damaskus [11]

Answer:

10 hours lifeguarding, 6 hours tutoring

Step-by-step explanation:

As you know how long he worked and how much he earned, it's worth seeing how many hours it would have been had he worked just tutoring or just lifeguarding.

$242 / 11 = 22 hours if it was just lifeguarding

$242 / 22 = 11 hours (as it's exactly double the wage) if it was just tutoring

We now know that he worked some combination of both

Calculating his average wage can help work out which he worked more of:

$242 / 16 = 15.125

That means Parker's average hourly wage was 15.125 which is closer to 11 than 22 (16.50 would mean an exactly even split between the two) so he did more hours lifeguarding than tutoring so more than 8 hours.

What I then do is consider the variations that could work:

9 (lifeguarding) and 7 (tutoring) = 99 + 154 = 243

So we're almost exactly there straight away, but not quite so...

10 and 6 = 110 + 132 = 242

There you have it.

What is the quadratic formula in vertex form?
telo118 [61]

Answer:

See explanation below to use the vertex form to solve a quadratic equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - h)^2 - k = 0, the vertex is (h, -k)

An example below, taking a quadratic equation and completing the square:

x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0

x^2 - 2x = 1

(-2/-2)^2 = 1, add 1 to both sides of the equation.

x^2 - 2x + 1 = 1 + 1

(x - 1)^2 = 2

(x - 1)^2 - 2 = 0

The vertex is (1, -2)
