If x and y are positive integers and the mean of 4, 20, and x is equal to the mean of y and 16, what is the smallest possible value of x + y?

5

Step-by-step explanation:

(4+20+x)/3 = (y+16)/2

2(24+x) = 3(y+16)

48 + 2x = 3y + 48

2x = 3y

Since x and y are positive integers, they can't be 0. To satisfy 2x = 3y

We'll have to use LCM of 2 and 3, which is 6 (or a multiple of 6)

For the least value, we use 6

To make both sides 6,

x = 3 and y = 2

Hence x + y = 5

step-by-step explanation:

. your answer will contain x - and y -terms. (1 point) x ( ¿¿ 2 − 7 ) 2 +( y 2 − 9 ) 2 √ ¿ 12. what is the distance from the directrix (the crocodile river) to the point ( x , y )? write this equation. your answer will contain a y -term.

the answer is -1 1/5, also a
