Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
if 12 cars are half of his collection, his entire collection is 12(2) which equals 24
For the mean, add together all of the numbers together (let's call the total x) and count how many numbers there are. (let's call this number y). divide x by y, and that is your mean. for the median, put all the numbers in order, and the median is the number in the middle. if there are two numbers in the middle, add them together and divide them by 2.
Multiply the equation 2x+7y=-1 by -2
add to othe equaiton
4x-3y=-19
<u>-4x-14y=2 +</u>
0x-17y=-17
-17y=-17
divide both sides by -17
y=1
sub back
2x+7y=-1
2x+7(1)=-1
2x+7=-1
minus 7 from both sides
2x=-8
divide both sides by 2
x=-4
x=-4
y=1
(x,y) is normal form
(-4,1) is answer
