We have a + b = 180 and a = 12 + b;
Then, 12 + b + b = 180;
12 + 2b = 180;
2b = 168;
b = 84;
a = 12 + 84;
a = 96;
<span>Subtracting 2x from both sides of the equation would be a reasonable first step in solving this equation as it properly combines like terms to the left side of the equation. It quickly shows that the next step would be adding 1 to both sides of the equation, which would have us arrive at the answer of x = 5.</span>
A. -2 is the correct answer for the rate of change

Answer:
The value is 
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The stem plot for National League is

The sample size is n = 14
Generally the stem plot is interpreted in this manner
The numbers on the first column represents the tens of a two digit number while the second column holds the possible unit number the tens in the first column can be combined with
for example 4th row
5 3 5 5 5
is equivalent to
53 55 55 55
Generally the mean for the national league is mathematically represented as

=> 
=> 
9.55 as a mixed number would be 9 11/20.
9.55 = 9 55/100 = 9 11/20
Hope this helps !
