Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll note the numbers as $x_{n}, x_{n+1} ...$

$x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 = 20\\Avg = 5\\\frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 + x_5 }{5} = 6 = \frac{20 + x_5}{5}\\ 4 + \frac{x_5}{5} = 6\\\\frac{x_5}{5} = 2\\\x_5 = 10$

Answer:

10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of the 5 numbers =

(20 + x) / 5 = 6 where x is the 5th number.

20 + x = 30

x = 10

The fifth number is 10.

Find the value of Z for the triangles

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

z = 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

segment RX is an angle bisector and divides the opposite side into segments that are proportional to the other 2 sides, that is

$\frac{RS}{RT}$ = $\frac{SX}{TX}$ , substitute values

$\frac{15}{z}$ = $\frac{6}{7}$ ( cross- multiply )

6z = 105 ( divide both sides by 6 )

z = 17.5

D=.5*a*t^2 - solving for a<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=d%3D.5%2Aa%2At%5E2" id="TexFormula1" title="d=.5*a*t^2" alt="d=.5*a*

Answer:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{d}{.5*t^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation Solving</u>

We are given the equation:

$d=.5*a*t^2$

It's required to solve it for a.

Swap sides to have the letter on the left side:

$.5*a*t^2=d$

Divide by $.5*t^2$ :

$\mathbf{\displaystyle a=\frac{d}{.5*t^2}}$
