Answer: c
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the mean (average), u add up all ur numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are.
mean = (5 + 12 + 1 + 5 + 7) / 5 = 30/5 = 6
To find the mode (and there does not have to be one)...u find the number that is used the most. That number would be 5...because it is used twice, whereas, the other numbers are just used once.
Yes 12/15 can be simplified.
To simplify 12/15 find the greatest common multiple. The <span> greatest common multiple of 12/15 is 3. Now divide 12/15 by 3.
</span>
12 ÷ 3 = 4
15 ÷ 3 = 5
4/5 is the simplified version of 12/15
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
-8 (8 - x) = (4 (x + 10))/5
Multiply both sides by 5:
-8×5 (8 - x) = (5×4 (x + 10))/5
(5×4 (x + 10))/5 = 5/5×4 (x + 10) = 4 (x + 10):
-8×5 (8 - x) = 4 (x + 10)
5 (-8) = -40:
-40 (8 - x) = 4 (x + 10)
Expand out terms of the left hand side:
40 x - 320 = 4 (x + 10)
Expand out terms of the right hand side:
40 x - 320 = 4 x + 40
Subtract 4 x from both sides:
(40 x - 4 x) - 320 = (4 x - 4 x) + 40
40 x - 4 x = 36 x:
36 x - 320 = (4 x - 4 x) + 40
4 x - 4 x = 0:
36 x - 320 = 40
Add 320 to both sides:
36 x + (320 - 320) = 320 + 40
320 - 320 = 0:
36 x = 40 + 320
40 + 320 = 360:
36 x = 360
Divide both sides of 36 x = 360 by 36:
(36 x)/36 = 360/36
36/36 = 1:
x = 360/36
The gcd of 360 and 36 is 36, so 360/36 = (36×10)/(36×1) = 36/36×10 = 10:
Answer: x = 10
