Y/-2 + 5 = 13
y/-2 = 13 - 5 = 8
y = -2(8) = -16
y = -16
7x - 5y = 21....(4,?)...so sub in 4 for x and solve for y
7(4) - 5y = 21
28 - 5y = 21
-5y = 21 - 28
-5y = - 7
y = 7/5
check..
7(4) - 5(7/5) = 21
28 - 35/5 = 21
28 - 7 = 21
21 = 21 (correct)
the other coordinate is 7/5......(4,7/5)
Answer:
13 pears in the 21st bag
Step-by-step explanation:
mean = total number of pears/total number of bags
8 = x/21
x = 168
number of pears in 20 bags = (6 x 2) + (7 x 6) + (8 x 9) + (9 x 1) + (10 x 2)
= 155
number of pears in the 21st bag = 168 - 155
= 13
