Answer:
81
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's do this systematically:
Four numbers: a, b, c, d
Whose mean is 85:
Whose largest number is 97:
Lets solve for the other numbers:
a+b+c+97 = 85*4 = 340
340 - 97 = 243
a+b+c = 243
at this point it doesn't matter what the numbers are, they just need to add up to 243.
We can do 243÷3=81, which is our answer
- subtract the 12 from both sides so that it becomes the last constant term in the quadratic equation which should now equal 0.
- take the 4x
- half the coefficient of 4 (2)
- square it (4)
- add it to the equation (+4)
- subtract it from the equation (-4)
- factorise the square (x+2)^2 expands to (x^2 + 4x + 2) as {a+b}^2={a^2 + ab + ba + b^2}
- now the equation is in turning point form.
- to find x, add 16 and square root 16 and (x+2)
- subtract 2 from positive or negative 4 (as -4^2 and 4^2 both equal 16).
- This should give you two values for x, -6 and 2.
I really hope that this helped :)
