() for what value of x will 8 and x have the same mean as 27 and 5?

We know the formula for mean is given by

Using the above mentioned formula, the mean of 27 and 5 is given by

Similarly, mean of 8 and x is given by

Now, we have been given that 8 and x have the same mean as 27 and 5. Therefore, we have

Therefore, the x value is 24

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)

.
