Answer: No, it would not be the mean of the tax paid by all US drivers.

To find the mean, we divided by 50 because there are 50 states. However, the number of people in each state is not equal. Therefore, the 50 states should not be treated as they are equal. 

To find the mean correctly, we would have to find weight the value of each state according to the number of people in the state.

Line M is represented by the following equation: x − y = 8
PIT_PIT [208]
Let's plug in (18,10) into each answer choice until we find the one that has it as a solution.

A) 2x - y = 26
2(18) - 10 = 26
36 - 10 = 26
26 = 26

Your answer is A.

I'll just do the rest to show that you the they are incorrect.

B) x + y = 18
18 + 10 = 18
28 ≠ 18

C) 2x - 2y = 36
2(18) - 2(10) = 36
36 - 20 = 36
16 ≠ 36

D) x - y = -28
18 - 10 = -28
8 ≠ -28


Your answer is A) 2x - y = 26.

On a certain hot​ summer's day, 477 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are 1.50 for children and 2.25 for ad
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

212 children, and 265 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of children and adults, we can set up a systems of equations.

x= number of children

y= number of adults

Equation 1: Price

1.50x+2.25y=914.25

Equation 2: Total number of people

x+y=477

Now, let's solve the equation using substitution.

Rearrange the second equation to solve for one variable.

x+y=477

x=477-y

Now plug x equals into the first equation, and solve for y.

1.50x+2.25y=914.25

1.50(477-y)+2.25y=914.25

715.5-1.50y+2.25y=914.25

715.5+0.75y=914.25

0.75y=198.75

y=265

We just solved for the number of adults. Now let's plug y equals into the second equation to find the number of children.

x+y=477

x+265=477

x=212
