5/6-4/5=1/30
She uses 1/30 yard of lace for the jewel box.
Add the numbers and divide by 5 to get a mean of 6.4
8 - 6.4 = 1.6
4 - 6.4 = -2.4
7 - 6.4 = 0.6
8 - 6.4 = 1.6
5 - 6.4 = -1.4
Add the absolute value of each: 1.6 + 2.4 + 0.6 + 1.6 + 1.4 = 7.6
Divide by 5 = 1.52
1.5
Multiply all terms by 15
3x+3x= 10x+30
Combine like terms
6x=10x+30
Subtract 10x from both sides
-4x=30
Divide both sides by -4
x= -7.5
Final answer: -7.5
