Step-by-step explanation:

y = x - 2

x + y = 12

Substitute the first expression for y into the second equation.

x + (x - 2) = 12

2x - 2 = 12

2x = 14

x = 7

Now plug into either equation to find y.

y = 7 - 2

y = 5

So the solution is (7, 5).

So 120 - 80 = 40

The mean is 99.4 because when you add all the numbers up and then divide it by 10 you get 99.4
