Answer:
b / (b - 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Litres of water held by bucket = b
Jar holds 8 litres fewer than bucket; hence, litres held by jar = b - 8
The number of times bucket can hold than jar is :
Litres held by bucket / litres held by jar
b / (b - 8)
The answer to your question
is 12
This question is easier than it seems. If there are 9 consecutive integers with the mean being 16, then 16 must be the median. So just add four on top and four below 16 to give you your range of 9 values, 12-20. 12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19+20=144, 144/9=16. So the mean of the first four numbers is (12+13+14+15)/4= 13.5. If you check, 13.5 is also the median of these four numbers.
Answer:
x=2
y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
y=−2x+7
y=5x−7
Set the two equations equal since they are both equal to y
−2x+7
=5x−7
Add 2x to each side
-2x+7+2x = 5x-7+2x
7 = 7x-7
Add 7 to each side
7+7 = 7x-7+7
14 =7x
Divide by 7
14/7 = 7x/7
2 =x
Now find 7
y = 5x-7
y = 5(2) -7
y = 10-7
y = 3
