To solve for x, you must first understand how the median was calculated out of the given set of numbers. Without looking at the given median value, we can see that we cannot get the median by process of elimination since there are an even amount of numbers in this particular set. Therefore, we must average the two closest values to what should be the median.
In this case, the values are "45" and "x". If we pretend that we know the value of the variable "x" (for example we will pretend that x is 55), then we should have an equation that looks like this: (45+55) ÷ 2 = [median]. What this equation is doing is adding the two closest values to the median (45 and 55) and dividing it by 2, the number of values we are averaging. Now we can solve this equation and simplify it to 100 ÷ 2 which is 50, our median.
So if they give us the median instead of the x value, then we can rewrite the equation to fit your request: (45+x) ÷ 2 = 51. Now we can solve for x:
1. Multiply by 2
(45+x) = 102
2. Subtract 45
x = 57
The x value for your question is 57.

Step-by-step explanation:
The formula that relates the length of a ladder, L, that leans against a wall with distance d from the base of the wall and the height h that the ladder reaches up the wall is L = StartRoot d squared + h squared EndRoot. What height on the wall will a 15-foot ladder reach if it is placed 3.5 feet from the base of a wall?
L = √d² + h²
Question A: The per capita debt would be $43,888.75.
Per capita means the amount per person. To find this amount, we need to take the total debt and divide it by the number of people.
13,561,623 divided by 309 = 43,888.75
For Question B, you will need to have the other CPI value from the table.
Answer: 30 - 4 = 26
Step-by-step explanation:
30 - 2x = 0
so after 2 days he will have done 4 hours so 30 - 4 = 26
