Find the median first. The middle of all the numbers.
5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 18, 27
11 is the median.
Then find the median of the upper quartile.
The upper quartile consists of numbers...
5, 7, 8, 10
Since it is an even set of numbers add the two in the middle and divided by two. So 7 plus 8= 15/2.
7.5 is your upper quartile.
The answer is 51. This is because if you 15 is added then you multiply by the 10
Try and get the variable by its self by -81 from both sides then divide it by 7 and get ur answer.
Let the slower cars speed equal X.
The faster cars speed would be X+5 ( 5 mph faster).
They traveled for 3 hours
Multiply the time of travel by speed to equal the number of miles traveled.
So you have:
3X + 3(X+5) = 267 miles
Simplify the left side:
3X + 3X+15 = 267
Combine like terms:
6x + 15 = 267
Subtract 15 from each side"
6x = 252
Divide each side by 6:
x = 252 / 6
X = 42
The slower car was traveling at 42 mph and the faster car was traveling at 47 mph.
