Answer:
Miki had 288 stickers and Ken had 252 stickers.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is solved using a system of equations.
I am going to say that:
Miki has x stickers.
Ken has y stickers.
The ratio of the number of Miki's stickers to the number of Ken's stickers was 8:7.
This means that
, that is:
, or 
After Miki gave Ken 18 of her stickers, they had the same number of stickers.
This means that:


Since 




And


Miki had 288 stickers and Ken had 252 stickers.
Let us calculate the median; the 6th observation is 20, so it is 20. We need the 6th observation so that out of the 11 observations we have 5 above the median and 5 below (or equal). We also have that then Q1 is the median of the lowest 5 observations, hence 19 (14,16,19,19,20, the 3rd observation is 19). Similarly, we get that the median for the upper half of the observations, Q3 namely, is 22 (21,21,22,22,23, the 3rd observation is 22). Thus, the interquartile range is 3=Q3-Q1. According to our calculations, all observations are wrong.
<span>3(a+(6x)y) was clearly multiplied out as seen by the 3a and 18xy, so the distributive property was used there. In addition, the commutative and associative properties state that you can rearrange sums, so those were used too </span><span />
