Every year the United States Department of Transportation publishes reports on the number of alcohol related and non-alcohol related highway vehicle fatalities. Below is a summary of the number of alcohol related highway vehicle fatalities from 2001 to 2010. Determine the average number of alcohol-related fatalities from 2001 to 2006. Round to the nearest whole number

70

step-by-step explanation:

2*5=10

4*15=60

60+10=

70

what is the original number? you forgot to add it.

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
