The range for the cities in the south is 145 larger than the range for the cities in the north.
We find the range by subtracting the highest and lowest values; in the North, we have:
305 - 58 = 247
In the South, we have:
503 - 111 = 392
The difference in the ranges is 392 - 247 = 145.
Answer:
x= 8 y= 1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you identify your variables:
x= larger number
y= smaller number
Second, you find your equations:
x - y = 7
2x + 3y = 19
Third, (I used the substitution method) you make "y" by itself for the 1st equation.
y = x - 7
2x + 3y = 19
Then, you plug in the 1st equation for "y" in the 2nd equation
2x + 3(x - 7) = 19
Then, you distribute and simplify.
2x + 3x - 21 = 19
5x - 21 = 19
5x = 40
x = 8
Finally, you plug in the variable you found ( x ) into one of the equations and solve,
8 - y = 7
- y = -1
y = 1
