We have been given a table of overnight low temperature for a four-day period. We are supposed to give a possible temperature for Wednesday.
We are told that the low temperature on Wednesday was between the second and third highest temperature.
Let us place our given temperatures from least to greatest order.
Sunday (-11), Thursday (-8), Friday (7), Sunday (18)
We can see that second and third highest temperatures are -8 and 7 respectively.
Any number between -8 and 7 will be a possible temperature for Wednesday. 3 can be a possible temperature for Wednesday as 3 is between -8 and 7.
Based on the given above, collection of books of Nathan and Jason can be translated into the following equations:
6J + 1/3N = 134
1/3 J + N = 31; J = Jasons and N=Nathan
Solving two equations with two unknowns simultaneously,
Jason = 21 books and Nathan = 24 books
X + x + 2 + x + 4 = -213
3x + 6 = -213
3x = -219
x = -73
-73 + 2 = -71
-73 + 4 = -69
Solution: -73, -71, -69
Answer:
18.1 million
Step-by-step explanation:
12.1 - 4.9 = 7.2 million increase in 6 years
7.2 / 6 = increase of 1.2 million a year
1.2 x 5 years = 6 million
12.1 million + 6 million = sales of 18.1 million in 2001
