Answer:

because when you try to find the common denominator the lowest number is 40. so you then multiply the 2x8 and the 3x5 that gives you 16/40 + 15/40 = 31/40

SOS if anyone could help that would be appreciated!!!❤️

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

$2e)15-4x=10x+45$

Solve:

$15-4x=10x+45\\-4x-10x=45-15\\-14x=30\\ \boxed {x=-\dfrac{15}{7}}$ $3(x+1)=21$

Check:

$15-4 \left(-\dfrac{15}{7} \right)=10\left(-\dfrac{15}{7} \right)+45$

$15+\dfrac{60}{7} \right)=-\dfrac{150}{7} +45$

$\dfrac{210}{7} =30$

$30=30$

$3a) 3(x+1)=21$

Solve:

$3(x+1)=21\\3x+3=21\\3x=18\\x=6$

$3b) 2+3(x+1)=6x$

$2+3x+3=6x\\5=3x\\$

$x=\dfrac{5}{3}$

$3c) -2(2x-3)=-2$

Solve:

$-2(2x-3)=-2\\-4x+6=-2\\-4x=-8\\x=2$

The mean of five numbers is 8. If one of the five numbers is removed, the mean becomes 9. What is the value of the number that w

mestny [16]

Using the mean concept, it is found that the value of the number that was removed was of 4.

The mean of a data-set is given by the <u>sum of all observations in the data-set divided by the number of observations</u>.

The mean of five numbers is 8, hence, the sum of the numbers is given by:

S = 5 x 8 = 40.

If one of the five numbers is removed, the mean becomes 9, hence, the sum of the four numbers is given by:

S = 4 x 9 = 36.

The difference is:

40 - 36 = 4.

Hence, the value of the number that was removed was of 4.

How would you solve this problem? (Worth 10 points, pls help!)

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

(22,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Select any two points given and find their slope (rise/run)

(-38, 40) and (-23, 30)

slope = $\frac{40-30}{-38-(-23)}$ = - 2/3

2. Use the slope and one of the points to create an equation of the line in the format y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

y = mx + b ⇒ 40 = -2/3 (-38) + b

3. Solve for b

40 = -2/3 (-38) + b

40 = 76/3 + b

40 - 76/3 = b

b = 44/3

4. To find the x-intercept, set y = 0, and solve.

y = -2/3 x + 44/3

0 = -2/3 x + 44/3

2/3 x = 44/3

x = 22

Hope this helped!
