For two weeks the school librarian recorded the number of library books returned each morning. The data are shown in the dot plo
t. The librarian found the mean number of books returned each morning.
DOT PLOT
0 has 2 dots 1 has 0 dots 2 has 0 dots 3 has 1 dot 4 has 0 dots
5 has 1 dots 6 has 2 dots 7 has 0 dots 8 has 2 dots 9 has 1 dot
10 has 1 dot 11 has 0 dots
LIBRARIANS WORK
8 + 6 + 10 + 5 + 9 + 8 + 3 + 6 55
------------------------------------------------- = ---- = 6.9

Answer:
x = 4
y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use substitution, elimination, or graphically.
Step 1: Rearrange first equation
2x + 4y = -4
2x = -4 - 4y
x = -2 - 2y
Step 2: Rewrite systems of equations
x = -2 - 2y
3x + 5y = -3
Step 3: Substitution
3(-2 - 2y) + 5y = -3
-6 - 6y + 5y = -3
-6 - y = -3
-y = 3
y = -3
Step 4: Find <em>x</em> using <em>y</em>
2x + 4(-3) = -4
2x - 12 = -4
2x = 8
x = 4
Graphically:
Use a graphing calc and analyze where the 2 lines intersect.
