Find the mean of the following 2x-5y,5x+2y,8x+6y, x-y​

4x + 0.5y

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

Here, we need to understand the idea of the mean (average).

The "mean" is the "average" you're used to, where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers.

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

**Disclaimer** I assume the question is asking for the arithmetic mean instead of geometric. If it was, then you can refer to my answers. If it was not, then you can point it out and I will redo the question.

Terms: 2x-5y, 5x+2y, 8x+6y, x-y

Number of terms: 4

 [(2x-5y) + (5x+2y) + (8x+6y) + (x-y)] / 4

=[2x + 5x + 8x + x + 2y - 5y + 6y - y] / 4

=[16x + 2y] / 4

=4x + 0.5y

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
