The average of the squared distanced of the data values from the mean

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

total income = price of one ticket   *   number of tickets sold

  y                 =     4                                   x

so the equation is y=4x     with x≥0   because number of tickets sold can not be negative

thus the equation is a semi -line with an end point at

(0,0)

passing through :

x=1     y=4(1) = 4   so through (1,4)
