<h3><u>The value of the larger number, x, is 57.</u></h3><h3><u>The value of the smaller number, y, is equal to 42.</u></h3>

x - y = 15

2x + 8 = 3y - 4

We can quickly get a temporary value for x by altering the original equation.

x - y = 15

<em><u>Add y to both sides.</u></em>

x = 15 + y

Now that we have a value of x, we can find the exact value of y.

2(15 + y) + 8 = 3y - 4

<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>

30 + 2y + 8 = 3y - 4

<em><u>Combine like terms.</u></em>

38 + 2y = 3y - 4

<em><u>Subtract 2y from both sides.</u></em>

38 = y - 4

<em><u>Add 4 to both sides.</u></em>

y = 42

Now that we know the exact value of y, we can plug it back into the original equation.

x - 42 = 15

<em><u>Add 42 to both sides.</u></em>

x = 57

Sue played four games of golf.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Sue's scores for the four games in ascending order are: 97, 98, 98, 107

Step-by-step explanation:

Her modal score was 98.  The mode is found by using the number that appears most often.  This means that 98 has to appear at least two times out of the four scores.

Her range was 10.  The range is found by taking the highest score and subtracting it from the lowest score.  The highest score had to be greater than 98 and the lowest score had to be less than 98 since we know the mode was 98.

Her mean score was 100.  This mean is found by adding all the numbers together and then dividing by the total numbers listed.  Adding the four scores together and dividing by 4 will equal 100.

Used guess and test:

Highest Number, 98, 98, Lowest Number

107 - 97 = 10 (meets range requirement)

97 + 98 + 98 + 107 = 400

400/4 = 100 (meets the mean requirement)
