First draw 24 shapes of your choice.
Then, in a different space or below those 24 shapes, draw 10 more shapes twice. So draw 10 shapes and draw 10 more next to them. Finally, draw 4 more shapes with space between them and say "10+10+4=24"
It is the extent to which a distribution is stretched
Answers:
bio = 258
sociology = 169
============================================================
Work Shown:
x = number of bio textbooks
y = number of sociology textbooks
x+y = 427 books sold total
y = x-89 since 89 less sociology textbooks were sold compared to bio
Apply substitution to get the following
x+y = 427
x+x-89 = 427 ... replace y with x-89
2x-89 = 427
2x = 427+89
2x = 516
x = 516/2
x = 258 bio textbooks were sold
y = x-89
y = 258-89
y = 169 sociology textbooks were sold
