Nine scores have an average of 8. Scores x and x+1 are added, and these increase the average to 9. Find x

x must be 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the nine scores by a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i.

Write the following equation to indicate that the average of these nine scores is 8:

a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i

= 8, or a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i = 72 if we multiply both

               9                      sides of this equation by 9.

Next, we add scores x and x+ 1 to

a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i  +  x + x + 1

and divide the result by 11, as there are now 11 scores instead of just 9:

a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i  +  x + x + 1

                        11

Earlier, we saw that a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i = 72.  We can now replace

a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i in the above fraction by 72:

 72 + 2x + 1

= 9 (as the new average is 9)

         11

Multiplying both sides of this equation by 11 results in:

73 + 2x = 99, or  2x = 26.

Then x must be 13, and x + 1 must be 14.

all the angles opposite to the angle 150 would be 150 and all the angles that are next to 150 are 30 because they equal 180 it you add it up.
