Answer:

x = -20

y = -62

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose x and y two number and such that :

their sum = -102
and y is 62 less than x

Which means :

x + y = -102

x - y = 62

then

x + y = -102

x = y + 62

then

x + y = (y+62) + y = -102

then

2y + 62 = -102

then

2y = -164

then

y = -164/2 = -82

therefore

x = y + 62 = -82 + 62 = -20

il63 [147K]

Answer:

x = variable

3 = coefficient

1 = constant

3x^2-4x+1 = algebraic expression

2 = degree

Step-by-step explanation:

variables are typically the letters in equations (usually x and y)

coefficients are the numbers attached to the variables

constants don't have any variables attached

algebraic expressions are the full expression

degrees are the small numbers in the top right corners on either constants, variables or coefficients

Hope this helps!

Which measure of center best represents this set of data? Number of television sets in the home: 4, 4, 2, 4, 4, 1, 3, 4, 2, 4 *

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Mean

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Data: 4, 4, 2, 4, 4, 1, 3, 4, 2, 4$

Required

Best measure of center

The mean is considered the best measure of center when there are no outliers in the given data.

Outlier is when a particular data set is far away from other datasets.

For instance: 20 is an outlier in the following data sets: $4, 4, 2, 20, 4, 4, 1, 3, 4, 2, 4$

Also, the given data are not open-ended.

An open-ended data is as follows: $1, 2, 3, 4, 5\ or\ more$

Since we do not have any of the above conditions, then the mean is the best center to use.
