Answer:

x = $\frac{5}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 5) - 5x = - 25 + 6x ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

3x - 15 - 5x = - 25 + 6x

- 2x - 15 = - 25 + 6x ( subtract 6x from both sides )

- 8x - 15 = - 25 ( add 15 to both sides )

- 8x = - 10 ( divide both sides by - 8 )

x = $\frac{-10}{-8}$ = $\frac{5}{4}$

50 men working 10 hours daily can complete a job in

Sliva [168]

<h2>Given :-</h2>

50 men do 10 hours work daily complete work in 20 days

80 men do job in 50% time

Days required

<h2>Solution :-</h2>

1 man may do job in (50 × 20) days =
1 man may do job in 1000 days

Now,

80 man = 1000/80 = 12.5

Now,

When hours reduced 50% then we will multiply days by 2
Total days = 12.5 × 2 = 25 days.

<h2>Hence</h2>

Option C is correct

Find three consecutive odd integers such that 10 times the first, plus 10 times the second, equals 10 more than 10 times the thi

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the third number, then x−1 and x−2 are the second and first numbers.

10(x−2) + 10(x−1) = 10 + 10x

x − 2 + x − 1 = 1 + x

2x − 3 = 1 + x

x = 4

Looking at the means of these samples, which value is most likely to be the mean of the population from which the samples were t

eduard

Answer:

We are given the below data:

Sample Number Sample Mean

1 11.8

2 12.5

3 15.1

4 14.3

5 13.0

6 12.9

7 10.2

8 11.5

9 12.9

10 15.4

Now the most likely mean of the population can be found by finding the mean of given sample means. It is given below:

$Mean = \frac{11.8+12.5+15.1+14.3+13.0+12.9+10.2+11.5+12.9+15.4}{10}$

$=12.96$

Therefore, the most likely mean of the population from which the samples were taken is 12.96
