Answer: x > 486
Explanation:
We have some number x and we divide that by 18. The result is larger than 27. To find possible values for x, we need to undo what is happening to x. The opposite of division is multiplication. We multiply both sides by 18 to cancel out the "18" on the left side, which will isolate x to get it to its own side.
This is what the steps look like
x/18 > 27
18*( x/18 ) > 18*27 .... multiplying both sides by 18
x > 486 ... note the 18's cancel on the left side
So this means x is some number greater than 486.
Using proportions, considering the weight of each bar and the ratio, it is found that the ship is carrying 52 gold bars.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
Each bar weighs 5 kg, and the total weight is of 600 kg, hence the number of bars is given by:
n = 600/5 = 120.
The proportion of gold bars is given by:
p = 13/(13 + 17) = 13/30
Hence, out of 120 bars, the number of gold bars is given by:
nG = 120 x 13/30 = 4 x 13 = 52.

Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
you go down from the dot left most and you count towards the line that the second dot falls on and count over too it
X^2-5x+5x-25 (multiply (x-5) with (x+5))
X^2-25 ( -5x+5x =0)
Well, this is a stem and leaf problem.
The numbers are 20, 28, 29, 29, 31, 32, 36, 41, and 42.
In order to solve for the mean, we find the average and we add the numbers together and divide by 9(there are 9 numbers).
The mean is 32.
The median is the middle number, or 31.
