Step-by-step explanation:
Mean of the origibal set = 20
No. of terms = 10
Sum = Mean x No. of terms
= 20 x 10 = 200
The sum of additional numbers to make the new set of observstion is 4 + 8 + 12...... + 40 = 220
New Sum = 200 + 220 = 420
The no of terms stay the same
New Mean = New Sum/ N
= 420/10
= 42
The ratio of the sides are the same. So 6/24=x/56. This leads to x being 14.
Answer:
x = -34.8
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2><u>solve the equation</u></h2>
2(x-3)
= 2x - 6
7(x + 24 )
= 7x + 168
put the equation together
2x - 6 = 7x + 168
now make x subject of formula:
2x - 7x = 168 +6
-5x = 174
x = 174/ -5
<h3><u>x = -34.8 </u></h3>
Answer:
the answer would be y= -40
