--------------------------------------------
Define x and y :
--------------------------------------------
Let one number be x.
Let the other number be y.

--------------------------------------------
Construct equation :
--------------------------------------------
x + y = 24
x ÷ y = 3

--------------------------------------------
Solve for x and y :
--------------------------------------------
x + y = 24 ------------------- (1)
x ÷ y = 3 --------------------- (2)

--------------------------------------------
From equation 1 :
--------------------------------------------
x + y = 24
x = 24 - y 

--------------------------------------------
Sub x = 24 - y into 2 :
--------------------------------------------
x ÷ y = 3               // Equation 2
(24 - y) ÷ y = 3      // Sub x = 24
24 - y = 3y            // Multiply by y on both sides
24 = 4y                 // Add y to both sides
4y = 24                 // Switch side, make y the subject
y = 6                     // Divide by 4 on both sides

--------------------------------------------
Sub y = 6 into equation 1 :
--------------------------------------------
x + y = 24            // Equation 1
x + 6 = 24            // sub y = 6
x = 18                  // Take away 6 from both sides

--------------------------------------------
Find the two numbers :
--------------------------------------------
One number = x = 18
The one number = y = 6

------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The two numbers are 18 and 6.
------------------------------------------------------------------

(PLEASE ANSWER QUICK) Which data set could be represented by the box plot shown below?
Naily [24]

Answer:

Your answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

The lowest number is 4, therefore it cannot be C.

Now you'll have to cross out numbers on both sides and your mean will be 9 because you'll have to add 8 and 10 together and 18 divided by 2 is 9.

Next, put a line between 8 and 10, now the 8 side is the lower quartile and the 10 side is the greater quartile.

For the lower quartile, add 7 and 7 together, divide 14 by 2 and the lower quartile is 7.

For the greater quartile, add 11 and 13 together, that's 24, divide 24 by 2 and that's 12.

Lowest: 4

Mean: 9

Lower quartile: 7

Greater quartile: 12

Highest: 14

Therefore your answer is B and not A or C.
