Answer:
x = 4
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 10 - 2 y
substitute x = 10 - 2y into 2x - y = 5
20- 5y = 5
then
y = 3
and
x = 4

The answer is 2 because 1+1 is 2
Mean = (total of contributors) / (number of contributors)
For the 6 people in the room, you have
40 = (total of contributors) / 6
(total of contributors) = 6*40 = 240
A 60-year-old left the room, decreasing the total of contributors by 60.
(new total of contributors) = (total of contributors) - 60
(new total of contributors) = 240 - 60 = 180
Then the new mean is
(new mean) = (new total of contributors) / (new number of contributors)
(new mean) = 180 / 6 = 36
The mean age of the remaining 5 people is 36.
Write it as an equation:
X - 10 = 6x + 3
Now solve for x:
Subtract 3 from both sides:
x-13 = 6x
Subtract 1 x from both sides:
-13 = 5x
Divide both sides by 5:
x = -13/5
