13.5 inches, because if you add 4.5x4 or 9x2 it equals 18, then you just subtract 4.5 from 18 and it’s 13.5
B) is correct; on average, each bag of candy has a weight that is 2.6 oz different than the mean weight of 5 oz.
To find the mean absolute deviation, we first find the mean. Find the sum of the data points and divide by the number of data points (without the outlier, 21, in it):
(10+3+7+3+4+6+10+1+2+4)/10 = 50/10 = 5
Now we find the difference between each data point and the mean, take its absolute value, and find their sum:
|10-5|+|3-5|+|7-5|+|3-5|+|4-5|+|6-5|+|10-5|+|1-5|+|2-5|+|4-5| =
5+2+2+2+1+1+5+4+3+1 = 26
We now divide this by the number of data points:
26/10 = 2.6
This is a measure of how much each bag of candy varies from the mean.
Explanation:
Basically, you can do it in many ways. But just, in my opinion, exactly linear algebra was made for such cases.
the optimal way is to do it with Cramer's rule.
First, find the determinant and then find the determinant x, y, v, u.
Afterward, simply divide the determinant of variables by the usual determinant.
eg. 
and etc.
I think that is the best way to solve it without a hustle of myriad of calculations reducing it to row echelon form and solving with Gaussian elimination.
Answer: The first one is 2 2/3 and the second one is 10 1/2
Step-by-step explanation: So 2/3 divided by 1/4. First you would do keep, change, flip. Then that would give you 2/3 times 4/1. 2/3 times 4/1 would be 8/3 which can be simplified to 2 2/3. The second one 7 divided by 2/3. Again do keep, change, flip. 7 times 3/2. This would give you 21/2 when you simplify you get 10 1/2.
