a+1, 2a-1 ,a+7 and 3a+4 are in ascending order. if the median is 27. find the value of a.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the middle value of the data arranged in ascending order.

If there is no exact middle then the median is the average of the 2 values either side of the middle

a + 1 , 2a - 1 ,  a + 7 ,  3a + 4

                   ↑ middle

Then

[tex]\frac{2a-1+a+7}{2}[/tex] = 27 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

3a + 6 = 54 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

3a = 48 ( divide both sides by 3 )

a = 16

Answer:

substitute the value you solve the variable for back into the original equation and see if the left and right sides of the equation are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

let's say you have this equation:    

2x - 10 = 26

solve by first adding 10 to each side to get:

2x = 36

now divide each side by 2 to get:

x = 18

to check, substitute 18 in for 'x' in the original equation to see if the left side equals the right side of the equation:

2(18) - 10 = 26

36 - 10 = 26

26 = 26

we know our answer is correct

What are the solutions to the equation |X – 3|= 14?
x= 11 only
Ox= -11 and x = 17
x= 17 only
x= -11 and x=11

Answers

Answer:

{-11,17}

Step-by-step explanation:

|X – 3|= 14

There are  two solutions to an absolute value, one positive and one negative

x-3 = 14    and x-3 = -14

Add 3 to all sides

x-3+3 =14+3         x-3+3 = -14+3

x = 17                     x = -11

x = {-11,17}

Answers

Volume:
= 0.015731581440188783 cubic meters
= 15731.581440188782 cubic centimeters (cc or ml)
= 0.020576131668427984 cubic yards

= 959.9999999999999 cubic inches

Answer: 1051.875 inches^3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of the briefcase, we'll use the formula: L*W*H where;

L = Length

W = Width

H = Height

So we'll have (16.5×12.75×5) inches^3

First you have to figure out how much she is making from all four tickets, so 4 x 359.50 is $1,438

She makes 7% commission. In decimal form, that is .07. In order to find what she made, multiply .07 by $1,438.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{(14-3^{2}+1 )^{2} }{1/3.\frac{1}{4} }[/tex]

Now, at first, we solve the numerator:

[tex](14-3^{2}+1 )^{2}[/tex]

=[tex](14-9+1)^{2}[/tex]

=[tex](15-9)^{2}[/tex]

= [tex]6^{2}[/tex]

= 36

Now let's solve the denominator:

1 ÷ 3 ×  [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

=[tex]\frac{1}{3} . \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

=[tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex]

Hence,

[tex]\frac{(14-3^{2}+1 )^{2} }{1/3.\frac{1}{4} }[/tex]

=  [tex]\frac{36}{1/12}[/tex]

= 36 x 12

= 432

Solving Systems of Three equations

(please help i will make you brainliest!!!)

Answers

Answer:

2) x = -4; y = 0; z = -2

4) x = 4; y = 2; z = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

2)

-4x - 5y - z = 18

-2x - 5y - 2z = 12

-2x + 5y + 2z = 4

Add the 2nd and 3rd equations to eliminate y and z.

-4x = 16

x = -4

Substitute x = -4 in first and second equations.

(-4)(-4) - 5y - z = 18

(-2)(-4) - 5y - 2z = 12

-5y - z = 2

-5y - 2z = 4

Multiply first equation by -1 and add to second equation.

       5y + z = -2

(+)   -5y - 2z = 4

----------------------

               -z = 2

z = -2

Substitute x = -4 and z = -2 in first original equation and solve for y.

-4(-4) - 5y - (-2) = 18

16 - 5y + 2 = 18

-5y = 0

y = 0

Answer: x = -4; y = 0; z = -2

4)

4x + 4y + z = 24

2x - 4y + z = 0

5x - 4y - 5z = 12

Add equations 1 and 3 to eliminate y.

9x - 4z = 36    Eq. 1

Add equations 1 and 2 to eliminate y.

6x + 2z = 24    Eq. 2

Multiply Eq. 2 by 2 and add to Eq. 1.

       12x + 4z = 48

(+)      9x - 4z = 36

----------------------------

        21x       = 84

x = 4

Substitute x = 4 into Eq. 1 to solve for z.

9x - 4z = 36

9(4) - 4z = 36

-4z = 0

z = 0

Substitute x = 4 and z = 0 into the first original equation to solve for y.

4x + 4y + z = 24

4(4) + 4y + 0 = 24

4y = 8

y = 2

Answer: x = 4; y = 2; z = 0

Given: F(x)= 5 x - 6 and G(x)= x - 4

Answers

By definition of inverse function,

[tex]F\left(F^{-1}(x)\right) = x[/tex]

so that

[tex]5F^{-1}(x) - 6 = x[/tex]

[tex]5F^{-1}(x) = x + 6[/tex]

[tex]F^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{x + 6}5[/tex]

Similarly,

[tex]G\left(G^{-1}(x)\right) = G^{-1}(x) - 4 = x \implies G^{-1}(x) = x+4[/tex]

Then the inverse of the composition [tex]F\circ G[/tex] is such that

[tex]\left(F \circ G\right) \left((F \circ G)^{-1}(x)\right) = x[/tex]

By definition of composition,

[tex](F\circ G)(x) = F(G(x))[/tex]

Applying [tex](F\circ G)^{-1}[/tex] to this recovers x, and this involves first inverting F, then G:

[tex](F\circ G)^{-1}(x) = G^{-1}\left(F^{-1}(x)\right)[/tex]

So, we find

[tex](F\circ G)^{-1}(x) = G^{-1}\left(F^{-1}(x)\right) = G^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x+6}5\right) = \dfrac{x+6}5 + 4 = \boxed{\dfrac{x+26}5}[/tex]

A. Sun'N'Fun is cheaper than Wavy Dave's after 4 hours.
B. Sun'N'Fun is cheaper than Wavy Dave's after 8 hours.
C. Sun'N'Fun is never cheaper than Wavy Dave's.
D. Sun'N'Fun is always cheaper than Wavy Dave's.

Answers

Sun'N'Fun is cheaper than Wavy Dave's after 4 hours.

Let y represent the total renting fee for x hours.

Wavy Dave's charges $17.50 per hour plus a $20 fuel fee. Hence:

y = 17.5x + 20

Sun'N'Fun charges $15.00 per hour plus a $30 fuel fee. Hence:

y = 15x + 30

For Sun'N'Fun to be cheaper than Wavy Dave's:

15x + 30 < 17.5x + 20

10 < 2.5x

4 < x

x > 4

Hence,  Sun'N'Fun is cheaper than Wavy Dave's after 4 hours.
