Jillian and Dawn are playing a game of miniature golf. In this game, the score on a hole is the number of putts it takes to get the ball into the hole. The winner is the player with the lowest score. After playing 18 holes, Jillian's mean is 2.4 and
Dawn's mean is 3.3. Which explains who won the game?
O Jillian won the game because her score varied less than Dawn's score.
O Jillian won the game because the person with the lower mean took fewer putts on average for each hole.
O Dawn won the game because the person with the greater mean played better.
O Dawn won the game because her mean absolute deviation was less than Jillian's.

B: Jillian won the game because the person with the lower mean took fewer putts on average for each hole.

Step-by-step explanation:

In golf, you want the lowest score possible, because it means it took you less tries to get the golf ball into the hole. If Jillian's mean was 2.4 (which is less then 3.3, Dawn's mean), this means on average she had less attempts at getting the ball into the hole, and therefore she is the winner. :)

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
