Answer:
its be 17.32050807... or 10
Answer:
x = -1, y = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
8x + 3y = 13
3x + 2y = 11
Multiply the first equation by -2 and the second equation by 3. Then add them.
-16x - 6y = -26
(+) 9x + 6y = 33
--------------------------
-7x = 7
x = -1
Now substitute x = -1 in the first original equation and solve for y.
8x + 3y = 13
8(-1) + 3y = 13
-8 + 3y = 13
3y = 21
y = 7
Answer: x = -1, y = 7
Very nice handwriting but the math and English are confusing.
Let's assume we're told

The subscript is important.
I think we're told the similar sum with 11 gives the smallest possible value for the sum. This is a rather cagey way of telling us 11 is the mean of the nine points. The mean is the number which minimizes the sum of squared deviations.


If 11 is the mean, the sum of the points is 9(11)=99.

Answer: 1080
Answer:
144 people were originally at the party.
Step-by-step explanation:
18 boys is one fifth of the second boys population, so the second population is 18x9 = 162. The original population would be 162-18, which equals 144.
