Okay, so in this equation we will use the following variables:

a: for the number of quarters Michelle has
b: for the number of quarters Melissa has
q: for total number of quarters

So first, we will write out the statement "Melissa has 6 times as many quarters as Michelle" in the form of an equation:

6 times the number of quarters Michelle has is equal to the number of quarters Melissa has, or:
6(a)=b

So, we now know that Melissa has  6 times as many quarters as Michelle. 

So, if the have 896 quarters total, then you can write the problem as the number of quarters Michelle has added to the number of quarters Melissa has. This can be expressed as:

a+b=q

Since we know that Melissa has 6 times the quarters as Michelle, 6a is equivalent to b:

(6×a)=b

Since we know the total number of quarters is 896, we can rewrite it as this:

a+(6×a)= 896

Now that we know this, we can solve the problem with the following steps:

6a+a=7a

7a=896

896÷7= 128

a= 128

So, now that we know that know that Michelle has 128 quarters, we can find out how many Melissa has:

128×6= 768

Melissa has 768 quarters.

Now we check our work:

128+ (6×128)= 768

If everything is correct the following should be true:

a=128

and 

b=768

So, Michelle has 128 quarters.

>= means greater than or equal to
<= means less than or equal to

---------------------------------------------

Part A

The graph of y >= -3x+3 will have a solid boundary line and the shading will be above the boundary line.

The boundary line y = -3x+3 has a negative slope so it moves down as you read it from left to right. It goes through the points (0,3) and (1,0)

--------------

The graph of y < (3/2)x - 6 will have a dashed or dotted boundary line. The shading is below the boundary.

The graph y = (3/2)x-6 goes through the two points (0,-6) and (2,-3)

--------------

If you graph both y >= -3x+3 and y < (3/2)x - 6 together, you get what you see in the attached image. This solution shaded region is the result of the overlapping prior shaded regions. 

---------------------------------------------

Part B

Plug (x,y) = (-6,3) into each inequality to see if we get a true inequality or not

For the first inequality we have
y >= -3x+3
3 >= -3*(-6)+3
3 >= 18+3
3 >= 21
which is false. The value 3 is not larger or equal to 21. So right off the bat we know that (-6,3) is NOT a solution. It is NOT in the solution region.

Let's check the other inequality just for the sake of completeness
y < (3/2)x - 6
3 < (3/2)*(-6) - 6
3 < -9 - 6
3 < -15
this is also false. The value -15 is smaller than 3, since it is to the left of 3

We're given more evidence that (-6,3) is NOT in the solution area. It is outside of both shaded areas.

Can someone please explain to me how to find the interquartile range of something?
Alika [10]
I’ll do an example you have the numbers 1,5,7,2,9 you can tell the median is 7 right? So go from the very left and the median (7) and do the same thing you do to find median. (Id recommend crossing the numbers off as you go if that makes sense! :)
