1. Cross multiply
35x = 5(11)
35x = 55
Divide both sides by 35
x = 55/35
x = 11/7
2. (x - 2)/x = 3/8
Cross multiply
3x = 8(x - 2)
3x = 8x - 16
Subtract 8x from both sides
-5x = -16
divide both sides by -5
x = -16/-5
x = 16/5 OR 3 1/5
3. (a + 1)/(a - 1) = 5/6
cross multiply
6(a + 1) = 5(a - 1)
distribute
6a + 6 = 5a - 5
subtract 5a from both sides
a + 6 = -5
subtract 6 from both sides
a = -11
4. (1/3)x - 4 = (2/3)x + 6
multiply each term by 3 to clear the fractions
x - 12 = 2x + 18
subtract x from both sides
-12 = x + 18
subtract 18 from both sides
-30 = x
To find X, we can divide 5 into 40.
40 divided by 5 is 8.
Now we can do 5 x 8. That is 40.
X=40
OR we can do it another way.
40 divided by 5 is 8.
Cross out 5 divided by 5.
Now we have 8. Still.
X is 8
Answer:
$4080
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the amount she will pay back, but first, we need to find the Interest accrued.
Simple Interest is given as:
where P = principal
R = rate
T = time taken (in years)
Therefore, the interest on $3,000 at 9% simple interest for 4 years is:
I = $1080
Therefore, the amount she will pay back is:
$3000 + $1080 = $4080
What is the mean, median and mode for...45,50,55,55,55,60,60,60,65,65,70?
Alexxx [7]
Answer:
Mean = 58.18
Median = 60
Modes = 55 and 60
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the mean/average, add up all the numbers and divide the sum by the # of numbers there are (ex. there are 11 numbers so divide the sum by 11).
The median is the middle number of a set. In this case, the middle number is easy to see because the # of numbers is odd, but if it was even, just find the average of the two middle numbers.
The mode is/are the most frequent number(s) in the set. In this set, the numbers that appear the most are 55 and 60.
