There is only one solution on the first one since you can't get 5 any other time then it being 7.
on the other one all real numbers above 7 are answers since after x is 7 it will be greater the. 5 always.
The mean book rating will decrease
Add all the numbers together:
5 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 9 + 9 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10= 136
divide the total with the total amount of numbers
136/17 = 8
Now add all the numbers again WITH the one
5 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 9 + 9 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 1= 137
Divide the total amount with the amount of numbers there are
137/18 = 7.61
7.61 < 8
The mean book rating will decrease by 0.39
hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3 years
Step-by-step explanation:
As with many age problems, you can reason it without equations. If Tom is 13 now, 2 years ago he was 11. If the total age of the two cats at that time was 15, then Tim was 15 -11 = 4.
That means Tim is now 4+2 = 6, so will be 9 in 3 years.

<em>Additional comment</em>
If you want to write equations, there are several ways you can do it. We often like to use variables to represent the current age. We can assign ...
x = Tim's current age; y = Tom's current age.
The sum of their ages 2 years ago was ...
(x -2) +(y -2) = 15
Tom's current age is 13, so we have y=13. Using that in the equation gives ...
x -2 +13 -2 = 15
x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 9, collect terms
That's Tim's current age, so Tim will be 9 years old in 3 years.
