Let "x" represent the number of units
5x = the number of tomato plants in Inessa's garden
6x = the number of tomato plants in Ralph's garden
the question says that half (1/2 x (5x)) of Inessa's tomato plants are taken from her garden and put into Ralph's garden
this means that Ralph has a total of 850 tomato plants in his garden
using all of this information, we get the following (which we have to solve):
(1/2)(5x) + 6x = 850
when we solve for "x", we find that:
"x" = 100
so, going back to the original statement, if Ralph started out with (6x) tomato plants, and "x" = 100, we have to multiply 6 by 100
doing so gives us our final answer:
Ralph had 600 tomato plants in the beginning
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 3x-7
Explanation: x times 3
(3x)
subtracted by 7
(3x-7)

The amount of gold coating in millimeters needed for the ring is the difference between the total coating and the coating that has already been applied. From the given above, that would be,
0.03 mm - 0.021 mm = 0.009 mm
Thus, the answer to this question is letter B.
The median is 38.5
The lower quartile is 29
There is an outlier (154)
The upper quartile is 70
and
The interquartile range is 70 - 29 = 41
