x-\ pumpkins\\
y-\ squashes\\\\
y=x+6\\
3y+5x=98\\\\3(x+6)+5x=98\\
3x+18+5x=98\\
8x+18=98\ \  | subtract\ 18\\
8x=80\ \ | divide\ by\ 8\\
x=10\\
y=10+6=16\\\\

daser333 [38]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

A tech company bought a number of computers for its employees: 6 costing $1600 each, 4 costing $1200 each, and y costing $900 each, where y is a positive odd integer. what is the greatest possible value of y

Solution:

The median of a group of numbers is the middle number when the group of numbers have been arranged either in ascending of descending other. The median of an even group of numbers is the average of the two most middle most numbers while the median of an odd group of numbers is the middle number.

Since there are 6 computers costing $1600, 4 computers costing $1200 each and y computers costing $900 each. Since y is odd, hence y + 6 + 4 would be odd and the median would be the middle number.

Given that the median price = $1200, this means that the middle of the group of numbers is $1200

900, 900, ..., 1200, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600

Since y is odd, for the median price to be $1200, y has to be 3 or 5.

If y = 3:

900, 900, 900, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600

median = $1200

If y = 5:

900, 900, 900, 900, 900, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600

Median = $1200

Therefore the greatest possible value of y is 5

lys-0071 [83]
1 mm = 0.1 cm

(a) 5 mm

Fraction :- 5/0.5
5 ÷ 0.5 =10
Decimal:- 10

(b) 8 mm

8 × 0.1 = 0.8

Fraction:- 8/0.8
8 ÷ 0.8 = 10
Decimal:- 10

IDK WHAT TO DO SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN OR HELP
Zarrin [17]
Alright so, let’s break this down.

To find the first coordinate you need to solve the first equation

To do that you can do
6+9=15
So that mean 3x has to be equal to 15
You divide 15 by 3

The answer to that is the solution to the first equation, or the first coordinate.

For the second one, you know x has to be negative because the solution is negative

2x is going to have to equal -20
-20/2 gets you the solution

Remember that it will be negative
You now have both of the coordinates

You take coordinate A and technically add coordinate B to it
You do that because B is negative and A is positive
Then you have the answer to c
